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.
Rotobrush Dryer Vent Cleaning in Leander: What to Know First
CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Leander provides independent Rotobrush dryer vent cleaning for homeowners in Leander and nearby areas, with most jobs completed in a single visit and a written price delivered before any work begins. Typical dryer vent cleaning for Rotobrush-equipped systems in this market runs $180-$340 for a standard single-vent residential job, with vent rerouting or bird guard installation running higher based on material and roof access. This page is for Leander homeowners who own a Rotobrush product and need to know whether their vent issue is a cleaning problem, a parts problem, or both, and what it will actually cost to fix it right. Call (737) 252-1285 for a written estimate with no obligation.
How Rotobrush Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Beast Series brush motor seizure in high-lint environments. The Beast line packs serious torque, but that same power pulls dense lint loads into the brush housing faster than the factory airflow spec can clear them. In Leander, where new construction in Crystal Falls and Travisso kicks up drywall dust that settles into dryer vents before the home is even occupied, we see this more often than Rotobrush’s national average suggests. We pull the brush assembly, clean the motor housing with compressed air and a narrow pick set, and test amperage draw against the nameplate before reassembly. If the armature is scored, we source OEM replacement motors rather than rebuilt units - the price difference is $40-$60 and the warranty coverage is real.
- AIr+ Duct Cleaning System vacuum blower impeller cracking. The AIr+ uses a plastic-composite impeller that fatigues around the 4-year mark in Texas heat, especially when the unit sits in an unconditioned garage between jobs. A cracked impeller drops suction pressure below the threshold needed for proper negative-pressure extraction (the vacuum force that pulls loosened debris out of the duct rather than letting it settle). We pressure-test the blower housing, match the impeller to serial number, and install either OEM or a Guardsman-compatible replacement depending on parts availability that week. We photograph the crack before quoting - Haven Standard Clause 1, written price first.
- Brush cable binding in the RotoVent dryer vent line. The RotoVent’s flexible cable is rated for 25-foot runs, but Leander’s 2015-2022 builds in Bar W Ranch and Palmera Ridge often have 35-foot vent paths with two or more elbows to accommodate second-floor laundry rooms. The cable binds at the first tight bend, the operator feels resistance, and the instinct is to push harder. That kinks the cable and strips the core wire. We scope the full run with a borescope before selecting equipment, and if the path exceeds 25 feet or has more than two 90-degree turns, we switch to a Nikro forward-rod system or break the run with an inline access point. We do not force a tool past its design limit and charge you for the damage.
- HEPA filter collapse on the BrushBeast model. The BrushBeast’s HEPA module is genuine Abatement Technologies media, but the frame seal degrades with repeated heat cycling from dryer exhaust proximity. A compromised seal bypasses lint into the vacuum motor, which is a $400 repair versus a $45 filter. We inspect the seal with a flashlight and pressure test the module before every job. If the seal is questionable, we replace the filter and note it on the written scope - not as an upsell, but as documented preventive maintenance that protects the equipment warranty you still hold.
- Control board moisture damage in portable units stored in humid spaces. Leander’s spring storm season drives garage humidity above 70% for weeks at a stretch. The Beast and AIr+ control boards are conformal-coated, but the coating cracks at connector stress points after three to four years. Intermittent power loss, brush speed fluctuation, or complete shutdown follows. We diagnose with a multimeter at the board terminals, quote board replacement or repair through a third-party electronics shop we’ve used since 2016, and always verify the repair with a 15-minute load test before the customer signs off. No board leaves our shop without that test record.
Our Rotobrush Dryer Vent Cleaning Process

- 1
Call and scheduling. A live person answers, confirms your Rotobrush model if you know it, and schedules a window. We do not quote over the phone - Haven Standard Clause 1 requires seeing the vent path before naming a price.
- 2
Arrival and inspection. The technician, identified by name before arrival, pulls a borescope camera and runs it the full vent length. You see the screen. We document lint density, obstruction type, vent material (flex, semi-rigid, or rigid), and any signs of previous damage or amateur repair.
- 3
Written price delivery. The technician presents a single flat price for the complete job - no per-foot add-ons, no “vent cleaning” that becomes “vent replacement” once the truck is in your driveway. You approve in writing or we leave, no charge.
- 4
Cleaning and parts replacement. We select the Rotobrush tool or backup equipment (Nikro, Guardsman) based on what the camera showed. OEM parts are used where warranty coverage applies; quality aftermarket where the OEM part is back-ordered or discontinued. Every part is noted on the job record.
- 5
Post-clean verification and photo record. The borescope runs the vent again. You see the after. We deliver before-and-after photos as part of the standard job record, along with the written scope, the parts list, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
- 6
Final test and sign-off. A timed dry cycle confirms airflow volume at the exterior cap. The technician records the reading, you sign, and the documentation is emailed before the truck leaves your street.

AfterWhat Rotobrush Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Leander
These are the honest ranges we write on estimates in Leander, based on jobs we’ve completed in Crystal Falls, Travisso, Bar W Ranch, and Palmera Ridge since 2013:
- Standard single-vent cleaning, ground-floor laundry, rigid or semi-rigid duct: $180-$240
- Second-floor or extended-run cleaning (30+ feet, two or more elbows): $260-$340
- Vent rerouting to eliminate excessive bends or terminate to code: $400-$650
- Bird guard or pest-proof cap installation: $85-$150
- Rotobrush parts replacement (motor, impeller, cable, filter): parts + $120 labor
What moves the price: vent length and elbow count, roof versus wall termination, whether the duct is accessible or buried in a soffit, and whether the job reveals a code violation that needs correction. We do not charge for the estimate, and we do not add items after the written price is signed. Bring a competitor’s written quote - Haven Standard Clause 5, Free Second Opinion, means we put our number next to theirs at no cost.
Why Leander Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Leander for Rotobrush Work

We are an independent Rotobrush service provider - not affiliated with or authorized by Rotobrush - which means our loyalty is to the fix, not to selling a new unit. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing on every job, not stated in marketing copy and forgotten. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Tomas Reyes, who grew up in the Bronx and learned the trade at Apex Technical School in Queens before running crews in Leander for the better part of a decade, still pulls the inspection camera out before quoting anything. If it doesn’t show up on screen, we don’t charge for it. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems, so if your dryer vent issue connects to a broader HVAC problem, we do not hand you off to another contractor.
FAQs
No - the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prohibits manufacturers from voiding warranties solely because you used an independent service provider, provided the work was done correctly and with appropriate parts. We use OEM parts where warranty coverage is still active, document serial numbers and installation dates, and include that record in your job file so you have evidence if a claim arises. Call (737) 252-1285 if you need help understanding your specific warranty status.
Most common parts - brush cables, filters, impellers - ship within 3-5 business days from Rotobrush’s Texas distribution center. Obsolete parts for discontinued lines (early RotoVent series, pre-2015 Beast models) may take 7-10 days or require aftermarket sourcing. We tell you the timeline before you approve the repair, and we do not charge storage or delay fees if parts are back-ordered. If the wait exceeds your tolerance, we quote a quality aftermarket alternative with its own warranty terms.
Replace if the repair exceeds 60% of replacement cost, if the model is discontinued and parts are scarce, or if you’ve already repaired the same component twice. Repair if the unit is under 6 years old, the failure is a single worn part, and the rest of the machine tests within spec. We make this recommendation in writing, with the math shown, and we do not sell new equipment - so our advice is not a sales pitch. Call (737) 252-1285 for an honest assessment.
Our Documented Photo Record shows the inside of every duct run before and after. You see the lint, the obstruction, the clean metal - not a verbal assurance. The technician also records airflow volume at the exterior cap before and after the job. If the numbers do not improve, we do not sign off. This practice has been standard on every CleanRun job since 2013. Show the photo first. Then talk about what comes next.
We schedule dryer vent cleaning within 24-72 hours depending on current workload, which is typical for a job that requires proper scoping and preparation. We do not promise same-day service because rushing a vent job leads to missed obstructions and callbacks - and a callback means the 365-Day Done Right Promise got triggered, which costs us both time. Call (737) 252-1285 to book a slot and receive your written estimate on arrival.
