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.

Air duct cleaning in Leander, TX isn’t a luxury service here.

Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Leander’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve cleaned ducts in enough Leander homes to know what this city actually has inside its ductwork. Not every market is the same. What we pull out of a 2018 Travisso build looks nothing like what we find in a 1990s Austin home, and we’ve built our service around reading Leander’s specific conditions. Tomas Reyes, who leads our crews, has documented thousands of duct runs in this corridor. The recurring pattern in Leander’s 2015-2020 subdivisions along Ronald Reagan Boulevard is a gray-white crust of joint compound residue lining flex duct, baked in during construction-phase HVAC use. It’s not visible from the register, but a camera shows it in seconds.
Homeowners here tend to research before they call. That’s the right instinct. We answer with documentation, not assurances. Since our founding in 2013, we’ve served more than 52,000 homes, and every single one received a written price before work started and a photo record when the crew left. In Leander specifically, our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival. Dispatch for Leander jobs is coordinated from our Austin office, but the crews work locally here week in and week out. They know which subdivisions run long flex runs, which floor plans kink at the boot, and which rural properties off CR roads fight the heaviest caliche dust.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Leander
Residential Duct Cleaning
Whole-home duct cleaning for single-family houses across Leander, including slab-on-grade tract construction from Lennar, KB Home, Taylor Morrison, and Meritage. These homes are young enough that owners assume the ducts are clean. In this market, that assumption is routinely wrong. Construction-phase contamination doesn’t age out. It sits in the liner until someone removes it, and negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration is the method we use. We’ll show you the before photos.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts in Leander carry conditioned air from the plenum to every register. In homes where builder-grade flex was kinked during installation, fine caliche dust settles in the low points and blows back into living spaces every time the blower cycles. We clean each supply run individually, not through a single-access-point shortcut. In the Hero Way and Ronald Reagan Boulevard corridors, this is the most common service we recommend for homes built between 2015 and 2020.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the system, and in Leander they pull cedar pollen from December through February, plus whatever comes off unpaved roads year-round if you live west of 183A. Because return ducts operate under negative pressure, dust cakes onto the liner differently than it does in supply runs. We use agitation tools matched to the duct material, then confirm clearance with camera inspection.
Full System Cleaning
A combined supply and return cleaning with video inspection before and after. This is the standard we recommend for any Leander home that’s never been cleaned despite being occupied for more than three years, or any home where the HVAC ran during construction. Full system cleaning in Leander typically runs $450-$750 depending on square footage and the number of duct runs. The written price you get before work starts is the price you pay, and it’s not subject to a manager’s “re-inspection.”

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Leander
We work on the equipment Leander homes actually have. The ductwork matters more than the HVAC brand for cleaning purposes, but our equipment roster includes Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies machines that you can verify independently. These are commercial-grade negative-air and agitation systems, not shop-vac attachments. Whether your system uses flex duct from a 2019 Crystal Falls build or rigid metal in a rural property off Nameless Road, we bring the right tooling and spare the flex. The goal is to remove debris, not tear liners.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Leander Homes
- Construction-phase contamination in newer builds. In Bryson, Travisso, and Crystal Falls, builders frequently ran HVAC during drywall curing. Joint compound dust and caliche particulate settled into flex duct liners before the first owner ever moved in. Filter changes will never touch it.
- Cedar pollen saturation in return ducts. Ashe juniper pollen season delivers some of the heaviest airborne allergen loads in Texas into Leander intakes. The fine particles lodge in return liners and recirculate every time the blower runs.
- Kinked flex duct in slab-on-grade tract homes. Volume builders ran long flex runs through tight chases. The kinks create dead zones where dust accumulates, and the duct never self-cleans.
- Rural dust from unpaved roads and open land. Properties west of Leander near the Edwards Plateau edge take in constant caliche dust. Combined with wood-stove use in some rural homes, return ducts get a coating that shortens blower motor life if left unaddressed.
Last February we pulled flex duct in a 2018 Travisso home and found the telltale gray-white crust of joint compound on the liners. The HVAC had run for weeks during the build to cure drywall. Our crew used negative pressure and HEPA filtration with agitation tools to break the crust free, then camera inspection confirmed the supply and return ducts were clear. The homeowner told us their cedar-season sneezing dropped within days.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Leander
The crust is most likely joint compound dust from construction-phase HVAC use. In Leander’s 2015-2020 subdivisions, builders routinely ran HVAC systems to cure drywall and manage humidity before the home was sold. That particulate embedded in your flex duct liners, and it stays there until a negative-pressure extraction with agitation removes it. No amount of filter replacement will clear it. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll confirm with camera inspection.
Every two to three years is realistic for rural properties on unpaved roads in the Leander area. Caliche dust from road traffic enters the return side of the system and settles into the duct liner. Wood-stove use accelerates buildup further. If you keep livestock or operate machinery nearby, the interval shortens. A video inspection is the fastest way to see where your ducts stand.
Yes. Leander sits in the Ashe juniper belt, and from December through February the airborne pollen load is among the heaviest in Texas. Return ducts pull that air into the system, and the fine particles adhere to duct liners. Cleaning after cedar season, or before the next one, reduces the recirculation load. It’s one of the most common reasons Leander homeowners call us.
Yes. Detached structures with their own HVAC systems are in scope for our crews. We clean workshop, guest house, and garage apartment duct runs using the same equipment and photo documentation standard. For rural Leander properties with outbuilding systems, we schedule the full property on a single visit and provide separate written pricing for each structure.
Frequently yes. Many of these homes sat in various stages of completion with HVAC running for drywall cure, and the flex duct was never cleaned after construction. If you’ve noticed fine white-gray dust on registers or inside the duct visible at the boot, the system likely carries construction residue. A camera inspection will show it. Estimates are free, and the written price covers the full scope before any work begins.
If your Leander home has never had its ducts cleaned, or if you bought new construction assuming the ducts were clean and now you’re not so sure, call CleanRun at (806) 606-6902. We’ll give you a written price, do the work, and hand you a photo record of every duct run before we leave. No bait-and-switch, no mystery invoice. Just documented results from a crew that works in Leander every week.
