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.

Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Pflugerville’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning has been cleaning ducts since 2013, and the Pflugerville homes we see share a very specific profile: slab-on-grade tract construction, flex duct runs through unconditioned attics, and builder-era installation shortcuts that are only now failing. Our crews know what a late-1990s DR Horton or Centex home in Falcon Pointe looks like behind the registers, because we’ve opened hundreds of them. The camera shows the same story in house after house: separated boots, fiberglass particles, drywall dust, and heat-degraded tape. We don’t guess at what needs to be done. We photograph every duct run before and after so you can see the difference between actual source removal and a shop-vac pass.
Tomas Reyes leads our team under the H.A.V.E.N. Standard, and every technician who arrives at your Pflugerville home is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name. The written price comes first, always. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and it means the number we give you before the job is the number you pay when we leave. We also publish our license number on the page, not buried in a footer, because a company that won’t show you its credentials before you ask is telling you something.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Pflugerville
Every home we service in Pflugerville gets the same set of deliverables: a written scope of work, professional-grade equipment, and a documented photo record of every duct run when the job is done. Here’s how that applies to the services most Pflugerville homeowners need.
Residential Duct Cleaning
Residential duct cleaning in Pflugerville means source-removing the debris that’s accumulated in your branch runs, return drops, and air handler cabinet. In the tract homes across Falcon Pointe and Blackhawk, that debris is usually a layered mixture of construction dust from the original build, blown-in fiberglass pulled through separated boots, and cedar pollen packed in during winter allergy season. We use Rotobrush and Nikro negative-pressure equipment to pull the debris out of the system rather than pushing it further in, then we show you the before-and-after photos of every run we cleaned.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Pflugerville’s commercial spaces along FM 685 and Pecan Street face the same Central Texas particulate load as homes, but the systems are larger and the consequences of neglected ductwork show up in employee complaints and equipment strain. We clean supply and return runs, plenums, and air handler interiors in offices, medical suites, and retail spaces. Every commercial job gets the same written price and photo record as a residential job, because commercial clients deserve the same documented evidence that the work was actually done.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts in Pflugerville homes run from the plenum at the air handler out to the ceiling registers, and that’s where we find the most separation at the boots. The flex duct pulls loose, the conditioned air spills into the attic, and the return side draws attic particulate back in. We clean the supply runs with negative-pressure extraction, then inspect every boot connection. If a collar is loose, we reseat and seal it as part of the job. You can’t clean a duct system that’s still open to the attic and expect the result to hold.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts in Pflugerville slab homes often run through interior walls to a central return at the hallway. The negative pressure on the return side means the system is actively pulling air in through any gap at the boots, the plenum, or the filter housing. In a Falcon Pointe house we cleaned recently, the return side had drawn in enough blown-in fiberglass to cover a dinner plate at every register we pulled. Cleaning the returns properly means agitating and extracting the debris, then confirming the boots are sealed before we take the after photos.
Full System Cleaning
A full system cleaning on a Pflugerville tract home covers all supply runs, all return runs, the plenum, the air handler cabinet, and the blower assembly. This is the job we recommend for homes built between 1995 and 2015 that have never had the ducts opened. The process takes 3-5 hours depending on floor plan and access. We finish with a video inspection of the branch runs so you can see the result, not just take our word for it.
Video Inspection
Video inspection is how we find what’s actually wrong before we quote a price or touch a duct. We push a camera into the runs and look for separated boots, collapsed flex, debris accumulation, and moisture staining. In Pflugerville’s aging tract stock, the camera routinely catches problems that a visual check at the register would miss entirely. The video is part of your documented record, and it’s the reason we can name a specific price for a specific problem instead of quoting a low teaser number and inflating it after the panels come off.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Pflugerville
We work on systems built around brands common in Pflugerville’s 1995-2015 housing stock, including Honeywell and Guardsman components. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush and Nikro extraction systems, Abatement Technologies air scrubbers, and we keep common flex duct sizes and sealing materials on the trucks so a separated boot doesn’t turn into a second appointment. If your system uses a specific filter housing or an odd-size collar, we’ll confirm the exact replacement before we quote the job. No surprises at the end of the day.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Pflugerville Homes
- Builder debris left in the ducts at handover. Drywall dust, sawdust, and sometimes worse get sealed into the duct runs during construction and never get removed. Homeowners often don’t realize it until the first cedar fever season, when the allergen load in the air spikes and the HVAC system pushes that stored particulate through every register.
- Flex duct boots separated at the ceiling supply lines. Heat-degraded clamps and repeated slab movement from the clay soil under Pflugerville cause the connection between the flex duct and the register boot to fail. When that happens, conditioned air spills into the attic and attic dust gets pulled back in. We find this failure in clusters across entire subdivisions built in the same construction window.
- Cedar pollen packed into the duct lining. Pflugerville sits in the heart of Central Texas cedar fever territory. From December through February, Ashe juniper releases pollen at concentrations among the highest in North America. HVAC systems running at full capacity pull that pollen through the filter gaps and line the duct interiors with a fine, sticky film that keeps recirculating for years.
- Condensation-driven mold and dust-mite buildup in poorly sealed flex runs. Hot, humid summer air infiltrates gaps in the flex duct and condenses inside the cool runs. That moisture supports mold and dust-mite growth that persists even after the attic cools, which means the ducts stay contaminated year-round even if you only feel symptoms seasonally.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Pflugerville
A brand-new Pflugerville house often needs duct cleaning within the first year or two because builders leave construction debris inside the duct runs: drywall dust, sawdust, joint compound residue, and sometimes larger trash that gets swept into the floor openings before the registers go on. The debris was never removed because no one opens the ducts after construction. When you start running the HVAC system for real, that dust cycles through the house continuously, landing on every surface and aggravating allergies. A full system cleaning with video inspection confirms what’s actually in there, and you’ll have the photos to prove it.
In Falcon Pointe, Blackhawk, and similar Pflugerville subdivisions built between 1995 and 2005, the typical duct contamination is a mix of blown-in fiberglass insulation, attic dust, degraded mastic particles, and cedar pollen. The flex duct boots at the ceiling supply lines have often pulled loose from years of attic heat degrading the clamps and repeated slab movement from the clay soil. Once the boots separate, the return side of the system draws attic particulate directly into the airflow. We consistently find this specific failure pattern in these neighborhoods, and a proper cleaning must include boot reseating, not just extraction.
Yes. Pflugerville sits on the Blackland Prairie’s expansive clay soil, which swells and shrinks with moisture changes and causes repeated slab movement in slab-on-grade homes. That movement stresses the duct collar connections where flex duct meets the ceiling registers and the plenum at the air handler. Over time, the connections loosen, and the more the slab moves, the more separation you get. This isn’t a cosmetic issue. A loose collar is an open pathway for attic air and insulation to enter your conditioned air stream, and it needs to be physically reseated and sealed as part of any duct cleaning.
Cedar fever season, which runs December through February in Pflugerville, floods the outdoor air with Ashe juniper pollen at concentrations higher than nearly anywhere else in North America. Your HVAC system pulls that air through the return registers, and the pollen settles as a fine film inside the supply and return runs. Once it’s in the ducts, it keeps recirculating into your living spaces long after the pollen count outside drops. If you run your system heavily through cedar season with improperly sealed ducts, you’re concentrating the allergen load inside your own home. Duct cleaning after the pollen peak removes that stored material rather than letting it keep cycling through every room.
Expect a crew of two or three technicians, 3-5 hours of work, and a written price before anything starts. The job covers all supply runs, return runs, the plenum, air handler cabinet, and blower assembly. We use negative-pressure extraction with agitation tools to source-remove debris rather than just blowing it around. Any separated boots we find get reseated and sealed. At the end, you receive a documented photo record of every duct run, before and after, plus a video inspection so you can see the inside of the branch runs yourself. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs all of it in writing. Call (806) 606-6902 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and the price is written down before any work begins.
