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.

How Abatement Technologies Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
Abatement Technologies builds dryer vent components and filtration equipment that show up in a lot of New York City laundry rooms, especially in buildings where air quality and lint control were specified during a renovation. Their equipment is solid, but no dryer vent survives lint buildup, bad routing, or a New York City laundry closet without maintenance. Here’s what we see on Abatement Technologies jobs specifically.
- Abatement Technologies DR Series duct runs with undersized transitions at the dryer connection. The transition from the dryer collar to the DR Series duct is often narrower than the run itself, and that’s exactly where lint packs in first. We see a 2 to 3-inch hardened lint ring at the first elbow on most Abatement Technologies installs in New York City apartments. Our fix is removing the transition, camera-checking the full run, and reseating it with a proper clamp and foil tape seal.
- The Abatement Technologies lint trap assembly on older units backs up faster than the vent run itself. If your Abatement Technologies system has an inline lint trap before the exterior termination, that trap is doing the heavy lifting, and when it fills, airflow drops fast. Owners assume the vent is clogged, but the camera often shows the run is clear and the trap is packed solid. We pull the trap housing, clear it, and document it separately from the duct run so you know what was actually restricted.
- Abatement Technologies roof termination caps on New York City brownstones and walk-ups corrode faster than wall caps. The salt air, snow, and pigeon activity in neighborhoods like Bay Ridge, Riverdale, and the Upper West Side eat through the factory cap hardware in about five to seven years. A corroded cap lets water into the run, which turns lint into a damp mat that sticks to the duct walls and won’t move with negative-pressure extraction alone. We replace the cap with a stainless aftermarket unit when the factory part is shot, and we show you the old cap before it goes in the truck.
- Long vertical Abatement Technologies runs in prewar New York City buildings develop lint shelves at the 90-degree elbows. Any vertical run in a six-story walk-up has elbows that act like collection points. Abatement Technologies two-ply aluminum flex is smoother than cheap vinyl, but it still catches lint at those turns. We run a rotary brush through every elbow and pull the material back out, then camera-verify the elbow is clear before we call the job done.
- Abatement Technologies inline booster fans on long runs stop spinning, and the run clogs behind them. If your New York City dryer vent run is longer than 25 feet and includes an inline booster, that booster is a lint magnet. When the fan fails, it becomes a physical obstruction. We test the booster, and if it’s dead, we give you a written price for replacement before we cut anything out. If the fan still works, we clean around and through the housing and document the motor condition.
Our Abatement Technologies Dryer Vent Cleaning Process

Every Abatement Technologies dryer vent cleaning in New York City follows the same sequence. No exceptions, no shortcuts.
- 1
Written scope before any work. You call, we ask about the dryer location, the vent termination point, and the building type. We give you a written price range for the job before the appointment is even scheduled.
- 2
Camera inspection first. The technician arrives, disconnects the dryer only if you approve it, and runs a camera down the vent from the dryer side. You see the screen. We tell you what the camera shows, in plain language.
- 3
Written price for this specific job. After the inspection, we write the price for your exact duct run, access difficulty, and what the camera revealed. That price doesn’t change after we start. Haven Standard Clause 1.
- 4
Rotary brush and negative-pressure extraction. We run the brush through the entire run while a HEPA-filtered negative-pressure unit pulls dislodged lint backward, away from your laundry room. For Abatement Technologies systems, we pay special attention to the transition at the dryer, any inline traps, and every elbow.
- 5
Post-clean camera verification. We run the camera again. You see the after. The inside of the duct looks like a duct, not a felt blanket.
- 6
Documented Photo Record delivered. Before we leave, you receive the before-and-after photos of every duct run, the written scope, and the written 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we make it right. In writing.
Before
AfterWhat Abatement Technologies Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in New York City
We don’t quote per-vent pricing. We quote a flat price for the whole system, in writing, before work starts. Here’s what Abatement Technologies owners in New York City typically see.
- Single-family home, short run (under 10 feet, easy access): $189-$239
- Typical New York City apartment or brownstone run (10-25 feet, one or two elbows): $239-$319
- Long or vertical run in a prewar building (25-40 feet, multiple elbows or inline booster): $319-$389
- Abatement Technologies-specific add-ons: inline lint trap clearing ($45-$75 when added to a cleaning), cap replacement when corroded ($85-$160 depending on termination type), booster fan testing and replacement (quoted in writing after inspection)
What moves the price is access: a rooftop termination in a walk-up costs more than a wall cap at ground level. A run with four elbows costs more than a straight shot. You’ll know the exact number before we start, and it won’t change. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free estimate on your Abatement Technologies system.
Why New York City Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning for Abatement Technologies Work

Tomas Reyes founded CleanRun in 2013 because he was tired of watching homeowners pay for vacuum noise they couldn’t verify. Every Abatement Technologies job we do in New York City ends with a photo record of the inside of the duct run, before and after. You don’t take our word for it. You look at the screen. The photo tells you what’s in there. Everything else is just paperwork.
We’re background-checked, uniformed, and we show up with professional equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. If you have a Lennox, Trane, or Carrier dryer vent system in the same building, the same crew handles it in the same visit. One written price covered the whole job. And if a competitor gave you a written estimate, bring it. We’ll put our number next to theirs, in writing, for free.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Routine dryer vent cleaning is a maintenance item, not a modification. Abatement Technologies’s own documentation calls for regular vent maintenance, and cleaning by an independent provider does not void the warranty. We never cut into or alter the dryer itself; we clean the duct run that moves the air.
Every 12 to 18 months for most New York City homes, and every 6 to 12 months if your Abatement Technologies system serves a dryer used more than four loads a week or a run longer than 15 feet. New York City apartment buildings with shared vertical runs clog faster than single-family setups.
In most cases, the thermal limit switch is tripping because airflow is restricted, not because the dryer is failing. The camera usually shows a packed transition at the dryer connection or a clogged inline lint trap. Clean the vent run first, and the shutdowns typically stop.
Yes, and we do it regularly on New York City buildings where the original Abatement Technologies cap has corroded. A quality aftermarket stainless steel cap often outlasts the factory part in our climate. We show you the old cap, give you a written price for the replacement before we remove anything, and the new cap carries the same 365-Day Done Right Promise as the cleaning.
You’ll have before-and-after photos of the inside of every duct run, taken during the same visit, delivered to you as part of the standard job record. If the photos don’t show a clear duct, the job isn’t done. That’s the entire point.
