Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterRotobrush Air Duct Cleaning in Leander: What to Know First
We provide independent Rotobrush air duct cleaning in Leander for homeowners who want the job documented, not guessed at. Most residential Rotobrush cleanings run $340-$620 for a full system, and we deliver a written price before touching a single panel. Every job ends with a photo record of every duct run, before and after.
This page is for Leander homeowners who own a Rotobrush air duct cleaning system, or who had one installed by a prior owner and need to know what they’re actually dealing with. We see a lot of these units in the Crystal Falls area and in the 2015-2020 build wave across Travisso and Bryson, where Rotobrush systems were pitched as a low-maintenance solution. They aren’t. Call (737) 252-1285 for a free estimate, or bring us a written competitor quote for our free second opinion.
How Rotobrush Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Beast Series brush motor burnout from cedar pollen loading. The Beast’s 450 RPM motor pulls hard, but Leander’s cedar pollen season coats the brush assembly in a fine, resinous layer that increases drag beyond spec. We see this every January through March in homes west of 183A. Our fix: full brush disassembly, motor amp-draw testing against Rotobrush’s published 3.2A ceiling, and replacement with an OEM-spec motor if we’re over. We don’t clean and hope.
- Brushbeast Pro cable fray at the first elbow. The Pro’s 35-foot cable is steel-core, but it fatigues predictably at the first 90-degree turn in most Leander slab-on-grade builds. The symptom is a vibrating handle and uneven brush rotation. We replace with a matched-flex aftermarket cable from Guardsman that outlasts the factory spec in our documented record, or source OEM if the owner prefers. Haven Standard Clause 1: the price for either is written before we start.
- Negative air loss in the Classic II due to worn hose cuff seals. The Classic II’s quick-connect cuffs harden after 3-5 years in Texas attic heat, breaking the negative-pressure seal that makes the system work. Homeowners notice reduced suction and debris left at the register. We pressure-test the full hose run, replace cuffs with Abatement Technologies silicone-rated hardware, and verify seal integrity with a manometer reading before the crew packs up.
- Control board failure in the Brushbeast 2.0 from voltage fluctuation. Leander’s grid sees more sags than Austin proper, and the 2.0’s board is sensitive below 108V. The unit runs intermittently or throws no code at all. We test supply voltage at the outlet under load, document the reading in the job record, and replace the board with a surge-protected aftermarket unit from Nikro or OEM per the owner’s written choice.
- Plenum adapter cracking in Roto-Vision camera systems. The Roto-Vision’s plastic plenum adapter, used for pre- and post-inspection, gets brittle in attics that hit 140°F in August. Cracks admit false light and ruin the documentation value. We machine a replacement from aluminum stock or source the Rotobrush OEM part, and we don’t charge inspection time if the camera can’t produce a usable image. Show the photo first. Then talk about what comes next.
Our Rotobrush Air Duct Cleaning Process
- 1
Call and scheduling. A live person answers, confirms the Rotobrush model if you know it, and schedules a technician who has worked that series before. Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews.
- 2
On-site inspection with camera. We pull the inspection camera before quoting. If we can’t show you debris, we don’t sell you cleaning. Tomas Reyes started this practice after years of Northeast HVAC work, and it’s non-negotiable at CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning.
- 3
Written price delivery. One flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts. No per-vent pricing, no add-ons after the truck is in your driveway. This is Haven Standard Clause 1.
- 4
Cleaning with Rotobrush-appropriate technique. We match brush speed and negative-pressure extraction to your unit’s spec. The Beast runs different from the Classic II, and our crews know which plenum configuration each needs without checking a manual.
- 5
Post-clean verification and photo record. Every duct run is photographed before and after. The images are delivered as part of your standard job record, not held for an upsell. We also test static pressure and airflow at the register to confirm the system is moving air as designed.
- 6
365-Day Done Right Promise activation. The written guarantee goes into your file. If something isn’t right, we make it right. No manager approval needed. The promise is backed, not just stated.
BeforeAfterWhat Rotobrush Air Duct Cleaning Costs in Leander
| Service | Typical Range | What Moves the Price |
|---|---|---|
| Standard residential cleaning (Beast, Classic II) | $340-$480 | System age, accessibility, number of duct runs |
| Deep cleaning with repair (Brushbeast Pro, 2.0) | $480-$620 | Cable or motor replacement, plenum adapter work |
| Commercial-grade Rotobrush system | $620-$890 | Square footage, multiple air handlers, after-hours scheduling |
| Roto-Vision inspection only | $125-$180 | Number of access points, attic vs. crawlspace routing |
Factors that increase cost: systems installed before 2015 with original flex duct that’s started to collapse; homes in the Crystal Falls area with heavier cedar pollen loading requiring extended brush cycles; and any unit that hasn’t been serviced in 4+ years, which typically means we find brush assembly corrosion or cable housing damage we document before quoting.
Call (737) 252-1285 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and we put our number next to any competitor’s written estimate at no charge.

FAQs
No, provided the work is performed by a trained technician using Rotobrush-compatible parts and documented procedures. As an independent Rotobrush service provider, we follow manufacturer torque specs and brush RPM settings, and we note every part source in your job record so warranty questions have a paper trail. Call (737) 252-1285 if you need documentation for a warranty claim.
Rotobrush supports the Classic II and Beast series with OEM parts through approximately 10 years post-discontinuance, but we’ve seen Brushbeast Pro cables go on factory backorder for 6-8 weeks during peak season. We stock quality aftermarket equivalents from Guardsman and Nikro that meet or exceed OEM spec, and we quote both options in writing before ordering anything. If you want OEM only, we build the lead time into the written scope.
Repair makes sense when the motor, cable, or control board failure is isolated and the ductwork itself is in good condition. Replace becomes the better math when you’re looking at multiple component failures plus degraded flex duct, or when the unit is pre-2010 and parts scarcity drives repair cost past 60% of a new system. We show you the camera footage and the written repair price, then the replacement price, and you decide. No default answer.
You receive a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, before and after, as a standard deliverable on every visit. Not a summary. Not a representative sample. Every run. If the image doesn’t show a measurable difference, we re-clean at no charge under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Haven Standard Clause 1 means the price is fixed; the photo record means the work is verifiable.
Yes. We’ve cleaned Rotobrush units in Leander medical offices, daycares, and retail spaces with after-hours scheduling available. Commercial jobs require a site visit for written pricing due to square footage and air-handler count variables. Call (737) 252-1285 to schedule.
