Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents

Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Schertz’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve spent enough time in Schertz attics to know what your ducts looked like the day the builder handed you the keys. Most of the homes in this city went up between 2000 and 2020, built fast to keep pace with the I-35 corridor’s growth. That means builder-spec flex ducts, stapled in a hurry, now sitting in attics that hit 140°F in August. The staples pull loose. The ducts sag. Dust and construction debris pool at the low points and stay there.
Our Air Duct Cleaning team works Schertz weekly, not quarterly. We know the stretch of FM 3009 from Crossvine to Cibolo Valley Ranch, and the older streets off Schertz Parkway near JBSA-Randolph where military families move in and out every few years. Every homeowner we serve gets the same record: a written price before we touch a panel, and a before-and-after photo record of every duct run when we leave.
Tomas Reyes, who owns and runs CleanRun, started this company in 2013 because the industry’s standard playbook bothered him: advertise a $79 special, then inflate the invoice once the tech was standing in the living room. He built CleanRun around a different idea. Document everything. Price everything in writing. Make the work accountable a year later, not just until the check clears.
That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise. It’s written on every job, not buried in a manager’s desk drawer.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Schertz

Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Schertz homes have what we call a “builder special” duct layout: flexible duct runs that were installed quickly and rarely supported properly. A full residential cleaning covers every supply and return run, the plenum, and the air handler cabinet. We use negative-pressure extraction, meaning the system pulls air backward through the ducts while a Rotobrush agitation tool knocks debris loose from the walls. The camera shows us what’s coming out, and we photograph it for you.

Full System Cleaning
When we say “full system,” we mean the ducts, the return plenum, the blower motor, the evaporator coil, and the supply registers. This matters more in Schertz than in wetter climates because your HVAC runs 8-10 months a year. Dust doesn’t just sit in the ducts here; it recirculates constantly. A full system clean in a Schertz home usually takes 3-5 hours, depending on the number of drops and the condition of the flex runs.

Video Inspection
Before we clean anything, we run a camera through the ductwork. If we see a 3-inch debris build-up at the first elbow, we show you that photo before we quote the work. If we see sagging flex duct, we document it and include it in the written scope. Video inspection is how we avoid guessing, and it’s how you see exactly what you’re paying for. Schertz homes built in the 2000s almost always reveal something worth seeing.

Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms. Return ducts pull air back to the HVAC system. Both need cleaning, but the return side typically carries more debris in Schertz because it draws air from the home’s interior, where dust, pet dander, and fine caliche particles accumulate. Homes near active construction zones, like the newer phases off Lower Seguin Road, collect this dust faster. We clean both sides thoroughly and photograph the results in each run.

AfterCommon Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Schertz Homes
- Sagging flex ducts in hot attics. The staples that builders used to support duct runs often pull loose as the attic cycles between extreme heat and cold. The duct sags at mid-span, and debris pools at the low point. We find this in nearly every Schertz home built before 2018, especially in master-planned communities where production pace mattered more than long-term support.
- Construction dust left at handover. Drywall dust, sawdust, and loose fiberglass from the original build often remain in the ducts after the builder’s final “blow-and-go.” A new house doesn’t mean clean ducts. It means no one has looked inside them yet.
- Pet dander and debris from prior occupants. Schertz’s proximity to JBSA-Randolph means high turnover. A home you bought last month may have had three military families before you, none of whom cleaned the ducts. Ten years of dander, hair, and dust doesn’t disappear when the moving truck leaves.
- Fine caliche dust in duct liner. The thin clay-limestone soil type around Schertz produces an extremely fine dust during dry months and ongoing development. Low-MERV filter grilles from the 2000s builds let that dust pass into the air handler and coat the duct liner, which can then hold moisture and feed microbial growth.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Schertz, TX

A typical whole-home air duct cleaning in Schertz runs $450-$900, depending on the size of the home and the number of supply and return runs. Homes under 1,800 sq ft usually land between $350 and $550. Homes from 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft, which covers most production builds in Crossvine and Fairways at Scenic Hills, typically run $550-$800. Larger homes or systems with extensive sagging or heavy debris may fall in the $800-$1,200 range.
What changes the number? How many registers you have, how accessible your air handler is, whether your flex ducts are sagging and need re-supporting, and how much debris has accumulated. We don’t charge per vent, and we don’t quote a low teaser price to get a foot in the door. The written price we give you before work is the price you pay. If you have a written estimate from another company, bring it. We’ll put our own number next to it in writing, free. That’s our Free Second Opinion policy.

Why Schertz’s New Homes Need Duct Cleaning Sooner Than You’d Think

This is the part most homeowners don’t hear until it’s too late. Schertz is one of the fastest-growing suburban corridors in Texas, and the homes were built to meet demand, not to be perfect. The typical production-built house in Crossvine or The Villages of Schertz has flexible duct runs that were installed in a hurry, often cut long, stapled up, and left that way. The builder’s final HVAC check usually means turning the system on and confirming air blows out of the registers. It does not mean looking inside the ducts.
So what actually happens? Drywall dust from the original build sits in the duct runs. Loose fiberglass from the insulation batts gets pulled into the return side during construction. The staples holding the flex ducts to the attic framing start loosening within a few years of handover, as the attic hits 140°F in summer and 40°F in winter. The duct sags. Dust and debris collect at the lowest point of each sagged span. And that’s what’s been circulating through your house since move-in day.
In a Crossvine home last year, our tech found the return duct sagging a full six inches between supports, with drywall dust and loose fiberglass from the 2014 build pooled at every low point. We ran a Rotobrush agitation tool through the supply and return ducts under negative pressure, then HEPA-vacuumed the air handler cabinet and blower motor, removing a debris load that had been cycling through the house since handover. The homeowner told us the system ran fine. The camera told us different. That’s why we document everything.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Schertz
Because builders don’t clean the ducts after construction. Drywall dust, sawdust, and loose fiberglass from insulation remain in the duct runs after the final HVAC check, which only confirms air flows. Schertz’s production-built homes from the 2000s and 2010s are especially prone to this because construction moved fast and final clean-up of duct interiors wasn’t part of the scope. A new house means we should run a camera through the ducts before you assume they’re clean. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free estimate and video inspection.
You should expect a significant accumulation of dust, pet dander, and possibly construction debris that’s been there since the original build. Given Schertz’s long HVAC season, that system has been recirculating whatever’s in those ducts for 15 years. We’ve cleaned homes in Fairways at Scenic Hills where the return duct had a half-inch of compacted debris along the bottom. A full system cleaning, including video inspection and photo documentation, typically runs $450-$800 for that size home. Start with a call to (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price.
Because Schertz’s housing stock is overwhelmingly production-built from 2000-2020, when builders used builder-spec flex ducts installed rapidly to keep pace with demand. The staples used to support those ducts were never designed to hold up through 140°F attic summers and 40°F winters across 10-20 years. They loosen. The duct sags. And debris pools at the low points. Older cities like New Braunfels have more homes with rigid metal ductwork from earlier eras, which doesn’t sag the same way.
Yes, indirectly. The fine dust from Schertz’s dry, clay-limestone soil finds its way into homes during dry months and from ongoing construction in developing neighborhoods. If your return grille still has the original builder-grade filter, that fine dust passes through and coats the air handler and duct liner. Over time, combined with the high humidity pulled through the system during Gulf air cycles, that can create conditions for microbial growth. A video inspection shows what’s actually sitting on your duct surfaces. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule one.
Every 4-6 years for most homes, but sooner if you have pets, allergies, or you’ve completed any renovation that produced dust. Schertz’s 8-10 month HVAC season means dust doesn’t get a winter break; it keeps moving through the system most of the year. Homes with military turnover and no maintenance history should be inspected immediately after purchase, regardless of the last clean date. We photograph the before and after so you can see the difference and know when it’s time again.
