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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Round Rock
Air duct cleaning in Round Rock typically costs $380-$690 for a full system clean of a single HVAC system, with most jobs completed in 3-6 hours. The homes we work in across Round Rock, from Forest Creek to Teravista, were largely built between 1995 and 2010, which means their original flex duct is now hitting the 20-to-30-year mark at the same time. That matters because attic cavities here routinely exceed 140°F in summer, degrading duct liners and opening joints that pull in cedar pollen, insulation dust, and sheetrock fines. If your vents are blowing a fine gray film onto furniture, or your December allergies get worse inside the house than outside, the ductwork is a likely culprit. Call us at (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work starts.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Round Rock’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We don’t ask Round Rock homeowners to take our word for anything. Every single job we do here ends with a documented photo record: the inside of every duct run, photographed before and after. You see what was actually in there, not what a technician says was in there. That practice has been standard for us since 2013, and it’s why homeowners in Walsh Ranch, Chandler Creek, and Sonoma keep recommending us to neighbors whose homes were built in the same phase of the same subdivision.
Round Rock presents a specific set of conditions. The housing stock is overwhelmingly wood-frame, slab-foundation tract construction with flex duct routed through unconditioned attics. When one house on a street has a return plenum packed with Ashe juniper pollen, the house three doors down usually does too. We schedule Round Rock jobs with that density in mind, and our crews arrive background-checked and uniformed, identified by name before they knock.
Tomas Reyes, the owner, built CleanRun on a simple rule: write the price down before the first panel comes off. Haven Standard Clause 1. No ‘call for a quote’ games. The price you approve is the price you pay, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise backs the work in writing. If it’s not right, we make it right.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Round Rock
Residential Duct Cleaning
Whole-home source removal for Round Rock houses, townhomes, and condos. We use negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration, which means the debris we dislodge from your ducts leaves the house through the equipment, not into the living room air. For homes in neighborhoods like Stone Oak at Round Rock or Paloma Lake, where flex duct runs through attics that hit 140°F for months at a stretch, we pay particular attention to liner degradation and joint separation while we’re inside the system.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Round Rock’s commercial landscape along IH-35 and University Boulevard includes medical offices, daycare centers, and restaurants where air quality is a regulatory and reputational concern. We clean ductwork, return air plenums, and HVAC cabinets in commercial spaces, documenting every run with the same before-and-after photo record we provide on residential jobs. Scheduling is coordinated from our Austin office, and we work around your operating hours to keep a clinic or classroom functional during the job.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from the blower to each room. In Round Rock homes with original mid-1990s flex duct, we routinely find the inner liner has dried, cracked, and begun shedding fibers into the airstream. Source removal with our Rotobrush and Nikro equipment pulls that material out under negative pressure. But cleaning supplies alone is only half the job if the return side is worse, which is why we always recommend a full system evaluation before quoting a partial clean.
Return Duct Cleaning
The return side of a Round Rock HVAC system pulls air from the house back through the filter and plenum. In December, January, and February, Ashe juniper pollen loads that return side far beyond what a standard 1-inch filter can stop. We routinely pull return plenums in Round Rock and find them packed with fine juniper particulate, pet dander, and construction dust from the original build. A full Air Duct Cleaning that skips the return side is the single most common failure mode we see from other companies’ work here.
Video Inspection
Before we quote a job in Round Rock, we can run a camera through the ductwork to see exactly what’s inside. That inspection video becomes part of your written estimate. It shows you what we saw, names the condition of the duct liner and joints, and makes the scope of work plain before any dollar figure goes on paper. It’s the clearest way we know to give a homeowner an honest answer to the question, ‘Do I actually need this?’

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Round Rock
We maintain our equipment to the standards of the manufacturers we run: Rotobrush and Nikro for agitation and negative-pressure extraction, with Honeywell filtration components in line where the job calls for it. These are professional-grade tools you can look up yourself before you agree to a price. We carry Guardsman and other trade-recognized sealing products for duct repair and joint re-sealing, which matters in Round Rock because a gap at a flex duct joint in a 140°F attic is a leak that pulls hot, dusty air straight into the airstream while your AC runs eight months a year.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Round Rock Homes
- Cedar pollen packed into return plenums. Round Rock sits in the heart of the Ashe juniper belt, and the December-February pollen peak overwhelms standard HVAC filters. We’ve pulled return plenums where the juniper particulate was a quarter-inch deep across the entire surface.
- Flex duct liner degradation from attic heat. Ducts routed through unconditioned attic spaces above 140°F dry out and crack over 20-30 years. The inner liner sheds, joints gap, and once-tight systems start pulling attic air into the living space.
- Transplant homeowners blindsided by cedar season. Round Rock has a large population of tech workers who moved here from northern and coastal states. Many have never experienced cedar fever and don’t know to change filters during the December-February peak. Their ducts take the brunt of it.
- Partial cleans that only do the supply side. We see jobs from other companies where the supply runs got vacuumed and the return side was left untouched. That leaves the most contaminated part of the system still shedding allergens every time the blower kicks on.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Round Rock, TX
A full system clean for a single HVAC unit in Round Rock runs $380-$690. The range depends on the number of duct runs, whether the return side requires heavier work, and whether we’re also re-sealing joints we find during the video inspection. Homes in master-planned neighborhoods like Teravista and Forest Creek often run on the larger side, with 15-25 duct runs. Smaller homes in older pockets of central Round Rock can come in lower.
We do not quote per-vent prices. We do not run coupon specials that suddenly become a larger invoice once the van is in the driveway. We give you a written price for the entire system before any work begins. Haven Standard Clause 1. And if you have a written estimate from another company, we’ll give you a second opinion on it in writing, free. A fogging ‘sanitiser’ service that some companies upsell here for microbial smell is not a substitute for physically removing the contaminated material and addressing the moisture source. We’ll tell you that to your face, even if it means recommending less work than another company quoted.
How Round Rock’s Climate and Housing Stock Affect Your Ducts
Round Rock’s explosive growth tied to Dell Technologies’ headquarters campus in the 1990s and 2000s produced tens of thousands of tract homes across communities like Forest Creek, Teravista, Chandler Creek, and Walsh Ranch. Those homes’ original flexible ductwork is now hitting the 20-to-30-year mark simultaneously. The attic cavities in those homes routinely exceed 140°F for months at a stretch, and that heat does two things: it breaks down the polymer liner inside flex ducts, and it softens the adhesive at taped joints. The result is a wave of Round Rock homes now experiencing duct leaks, liner shedding, and particle infiltration all at the same time. It’s why we find ourselves doing first-time duct cleaning and duct repair on the same service call so often here.
Layered on top of the attic heat is the Ashe juniper pollen load. Round Rock is ground zero for ‘cedar fever,’ one of the most intense airborne allergen events in the United States. Juniper pollen grains are small enough to pass through standard 1-inch HVAC filters, and once they’re in the return duct, they stay there, cycling through every room each time the blower runs. For a homeowner who moved here from the Midwest or the West Coast and never dealt with a Central Texas December pollen season, the ductwork becomes a reservoir that keeps allergy symptoms alive indoors long after the outdoor count drops.
A Job We Won’t Forget in Chandler Creek
Last January we pulled the return plenum in a Chandler Creek home where the homeowner had moved from Chicago two years earlier and never once changed the filter during cedar season. The return side was packed with fine juniper particulate, and our camera inspection showed gaps at two flex duct joints in the attic where the liner had dried and split. We performed full source removal with negative pressure and HEPA filtration, then re-sealed those joints. The customer said the musty smell that had been lingering since Thanksgiving was gone the first night. That’s the difference between cleaning the symptom and fixing the system: the filter now catches what it was always meant to catch, because the joints aren’t pulling attic air around it anymore.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Round Rock
Because Ashe juniper pollen from the December-February season accumulates deep in return ducts where standard furnace filters can’t reach it, and then recirculates through the house every time the blower runs. In Round Rock specifically, the pollen load is heavy enough that we routinely find return plenums coated with fine juniper particulate by February. Inside your home, that means allergy symptoms that don’t leave when you go outside. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll show you the inside of your return duct on camera before any work is quoted.
Attic heat doesn’t just warm your ducts; it degrades the inner liner of flexible ductwork over time, causing it to crack and shed particles into the airstream, and it softens joint tape until gaps open. Cleaning removes the degraded liner material and accumulated debris inside the ducts, but if the liner has already failed at a joint, the joint needs re-sealing, which is a repair, not a cleaning. We can identify that during a video inspection and quote both in the same written price. Call us at (806) 606-6902 if your system is 20-plus years old and you’ve never seen the inside of the ducts.
It could be. We see this pattern constantly among Round Rock transplants: the outdoor juniper count spikes in December, the HVAC system pulls that air through a filter that was never meant to catch pollen that fine, and the return duct becomes a reservoir. The inside of the house starts to feel worse than outside, even with the windows closed. A full system clean with HEPA filtration removes that reservoir. A fogging ‘sanitiser’ sold by some companies doesn’t; it only masks the smell for a few weeks. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll send you a documented photo record of what’s actually inside your ducts before we ask you to spend a dollar.
Fogging introduces a biocide mist into the ductwork, but it doesn’t remove the physical material where mold is growing, and it doesn’t address the moisture source that let mold grow in the first place. In Round Rock’s humidity-prone attics, that’s a critical distinction. We physically remove the contaminated liner material and debris using negative pressure and HEPA filtration, then we re-seal the joints or address the condensation point that created the problem. The photo record we deliver after the job shows you what was removed. A fogging service can’t offer that. Call (806) 606-6902 and ask for a written second opinion if another company has quoted you fogging as a mold fix.
Round Rock neighborhoods built in the same phase of the same master-planned subdivision age out together, and homes from the mid-2000s now have flex duct that’s approaching or past 20 years old. Look for gray film on furniture, a stale or musty smell that worsens in summer, rooms that never quite cool, or allergy symptoms that improve when you’re away from home. Our video inspection will show you the condition of the duct liner and joints, and if there’s a leak, we’ll quote the repair in the same written estimate as the cleaning. Call (806) 606-6902. We serve the entire Round Rock area, and our Free Second Opinion applies to any written competitor’s estimate you already have.
