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.

We know this city’s ducts better than most. The cedar pollen, the caliche dust, the fast-built tract homes north of FM 306 and west toward Canyon Lake. When your first heating cycle of November kicks on and the house smells like a barn, that’s not your imagination. That’s last year’s mountain cedar bloom, baked into your ductwork all summer, now moving through every register.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is New Braunfels’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Since 2013, CleanRun has served 52,000+ homes, and every single one got a written price before a panel came off. That’s not a marketing line. It’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and it’s the reason homeowners in Gruene, Oak Run, and the historic downtown district call us instead of gambling on a $79 coupon that triples once the van pulls up.
Our New Braunfels customers keep our number because they can see the work. Every job ends with a Documented Photo Record: the inside of every supply and return duct run, photographed before we start and after we finish. You don’t have to take our word for it. The camera shows what was actually in there. When our techs pull a three-inch debris layer out of a return elbow in a two-year-old house off Klein Road, you see the photo. That’s the difference between real source removal and the shop-vac noise some companies pass off as cleaning.
Response time to New Braunfels is coordinated from our San Antonio office, with crews dispatched locally. Background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive identified by name. Every truck carries Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, so when we quote a job, we’re pricing work done with professional-grade tools you can look up independently.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in New Braunfels
Residential Duct Cleaning
Whole-home source removal for houses in New Braunfels, from the newer subdivisions north of FM 306 to the older German-settlement core near Landa Park. We clean the full duct run from plenum to register, not just the visible vents. Most residential jobs take 4-6 hours, and you get the photo record before we leave.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Offices, retail spaces, and small commercial buildings throughout New Braunfels get the same written-price treatment. If you manage a property off IH-35 or near the Gruene Historic District, we schedule around your operating hours. The equipment is the same professional-grade roster, the pricing is the same Haven Standard process.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms, and in New Braunfels they’re the ones packing cedar pollen and drywall dust straight into living spaces. We run negative-pressure extraction through every supply run, and the before-and-after photos document what came out. If you’ve got a quick-built tract home from 2012 or later, this is usually where the construction debris settled.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler, and in this climate they’re magnets for caliche road dust and blown-in insulation fragments. We see return sides that look like they’ve never been touched, especially in homes where the builder sealed registers but left return stubs open during construction. Full return-side cleaning includes the air handler housing where the pollen cake forms.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in New Braunfels
Our crews work with equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman, and we keep the consumables stocked for fast turnaround on New Braunfels jobs. When your system has a Honeywell media filter or Aprilaire accessory in the return plenum, we service it without upselling you a replacement you don’t need. The equipment matters because duct cleaning is only as good as the negative-pressure machine doing the pulling and the filtration catching what comes out. We use HEPA filtration on every job, which matters when you’re extracting a winter’s worth of cedar pollen from a system that feeds your bedrooms.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in New Braunfels Homes
- Construction debris in “new” homes. Fast-built tracts from 2012-2024 often have unsealed duct stubs filled with drywall dust, blown-in insulation fragments, and drywall mud drips from day one. The first owner inherits a system that was never cleaned after the subs left.
- Cedar pollen crust on the blower housing. December through February, Ashe juniper pollen loads are among the highest in the US. The blower motor housing collects a gray crust that burns off as that barn smell on the first heating cycle.
- Mold on duct liners from river humidity. New Braunfels sits at the confluence of the Guadalupe and Comal rivers. The localized humidity is measurably higher than surrounding areas, and in slab-on-grade homes with unconditioned attics, that condensation feeds mold on fibrous duct liners.
- Caliche particulate from unpaved roads. Properties off FM 306, FM 725, and the rural edges toward Canyon Lake pull fine limestone dust into returns every time a car passes or the wind kicks up. That dust abrades blower bearings and coats the evaporator coil, cutting efficiency.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in New Braunfels, TX

The written number you agree to is the number on the invoice.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in New Braunfels
Every 18-24 months. A wood-burning stove sends fine ash and creosote particulate into the return side, and caliche road dust compounds the loading. If you burn wood daily through winter and live on an unpaved road, we recommend an annual check with video inspection to see what’s actually accumulating before you commit to a full cleaning. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll walk you through what to expect for your specific property.
November is the single busiest month because it’s the first time furnaces kick on after a full cedar season, and homeowners get a nose full of the previous winter’s pollen baked into their ducts. The smell is the trigger. Technicians who market around pre-cedar-season duct flushing before the December juniper bloom outbook competitors who run generic fall promotions, because once you’ve lived through one November roast, you don’t forget it.
Yes, and it should be part of the job. Video inspection tells you whether the ducts were ever cleaned after construction, whether the register stubs were sealed, and whether there’s a pollen crust or mold layer that changes the scope. We include camera inspection as a standard deliverable, not an upsell. If a company quotes duct cleaning without looking inside first, the price is a guess.
Yes. Attics in New Braunfels swing from 140°F in August to cold snaps during Hill Country blue northers, and the Guadalupe/Comal river confluence adds humidity that condenses on duct exteriors and inside the air handler. That condensation accelerates mold on duct liners and can corrode blower housings over time. We inspect the air handler interior on every full system cleaning and photograph what we find. If mold is present, we can recommend sanitizing; we won’t scare you into a service you don’t need.
Pre-cedar-season duct flushing is a full system cleaning scheduled in November or early December, before the Ashe juniper bloom releases the year’s heaviest pollen load. The idea is to remove last season’s accumulated pollen, dust, and debris so your system starts the winter clean, and then change your filter more often during the bloom months. Book before Thanksgiving if you want it done before the first big cold snap. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price.
Why New Braunfels Ducts Are Different From Any Other Hill Country Town
New Braunfels sits squarely in the epicenter of Ashe juniper country, and the famous “cedar fever” season from December through February dumps pollen concentrations that rank among the highest recorded anywhere in the US. But that’s only half the story. The city has also been one of the fastest-growing in America through the 2010s and 2020s, which means a large share of its housing stock consists of quickly-built tract homes whose ductwork was never cleaned after construction. The result is a uniquely New Braunfels problem: brand-new systems cycling mountain cedar pollen, drywall dust, and caliche particulate through every heating cycle of the year.
Last November, we took a call from a homeowner off FM 306 near the North Park subdivision. Their two-year-old tract home had never had the ducts serviced after construction. Our tech ran a camera inspection and found blown-in insulation fragments and a layer of drywall dust on the return side, with a visible gray pollen crust on the blower motor housing. Classic cedar pollen from the prior season. We performed full system source removal with negative pressure and HEPA filtration, and when we finished, the supply and return ducts were clean enough to eat off. The homeowner said the first heat cycle that night no longer smelled like a barn.
That’s the work. That’s what gets documented in the photo record. And that’s why we put a written price in front of you before the first panel comes off, every time, under Haven Standard Clause 1.
