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 Duct Repair & Sealing Across Kyle
Duct repair and sealing in Kyle typically runs $340-$890 for most homes, depending on whether we’re reattaching slipped collars, replacing crushed flex runs, or sealing the full system with mastic. We dispatch crews to Kyle from our Austin office daily, and most jobs are scheduled within a week. Call (737) 243-9544 for a written estimate before any work starts.
We’ve worked in Kyle long enough to know the pattern. Drive through Plum Creek, Anthem, or Cross Creek and you’re looking at thousands of homes built during the same 2010s-2020s construction surge, many with the same ductwork issues hiding above the ceiling. Our Duct Repair & Sealing team has documented the same gray drywall-compound dust coating inside supply boots from one end of a subdivision to the other. That’s not coincidence. It’s what happens when flex ducts are left open during texture and paint, then sealed up and forgotten.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Austin Is Kyle’s Preferred Duct Repair & Sealing Company
CleanRun has held the same practice since 2013: written price before work starts, documented photo record when we leave. No exceptions. Tomas Reyes built this standard after watching too many homeowners pay for “duct cleaning” that amounted to a shop vac in a register and a receipt.
We serve Kyle from our Austin office with background-checked, uniformed technicians who arrive identified by name. Every crew operates under the H.A.V.E.N. Standard, and every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work isn’t right, we make it right. Not a policy subject to manager approval. A written guarantee.
Our photo record shows customers exactly what was in their ducts and what changed. In Kyle’s market, where construction-era contamination is the dominant issue rather than age-related decay, that documentation matters more than promises. You see the gray dust on the before photo. You see the sealed, intact run on the after.

Our Duct Repair & Sealing Services in Kyle
Duct Sealing
Most Kyle homes lose 20-30% of conditioned air through leaks at joints, collars, and connections before it ever reaches the register. In slab-foundation tract homes built on aggressive timelines, cheap foil tape was the standard sealant. After a decade of near-continuous HVAC cycling through 90-plus-day summers, that tape fails. We remove failed seals and apply mastic sealant, a fiber-reinforced compound that remains flexible and airtight. A full system seal in Kyle typically runs $450-$720 for an average 2,000-square-foot home.
Flex Duct Repair
Flex-duct runs crushed or kinked at tight bends behind the air handler are the most common airflow restriction we find in Kyle’s post-2005 housing stock. High-volume builders ran ductwork fast, and sharp bends behind the unit were often the path of least resistance. We replace damaged sections with new insulated flex duct, support it properly to prevent recurrence, and seal all connections. Single-run replacement in Kyle is usually $280-$450; multiple runs or rerouting runs $520-$780.
Metal Duct Repair
Some Kyle homes, particularly earlier builds in the 2005-2010 range and any with upgraded HVAC packages, use galvanized metal trunk lines with flex takeoffs. We repair separated seams, corroded sections, and damaged dampers. Metal work costs more than flex - typically $380-$650 per section - but metal ductwork, properly sealed, outlasts flex by decades.
Air Leak Repair
Disconnected collars at supply boots leak conditioned air directly into attics and wall cavities. In Kyle’s slab homes, where ducts run through unconditioned attic space, that’s money and comfort lost continuously. We reattach slipped connections, replace damaged boots, and verify seal integrity with pressure testing where indicated. Boot and collar repair runs $180-$340 per location; full-system leak remediation with pressure verification runs $580-$890.
Duct Insulation
Kyle’s attic temperatures exceed 130°F in summer. Uninsulated or degraded duct insulation forces your HVAC to cool air that’s already been reheated. We install fresh fiberglass or foil-backed insulation at R-6 or R-8 values, sealed and supported. Insulation replacement on accessible trunk lines runs $320-$540.

Our equipment roster includes professional-grade tools from trade-recognized manufacturers: Rotobrush and Nikro for mechanical agitation and negative-pressure extraction, Abatement Technologies for HEPA containment, and Honeywell and Aprilaire components for filtration and control upgrades. We stock common repair materials locally so Kyle customers aren’t waiting on parts for standard flex-duct, collar, or boot replacements. Guardsman protective products keep work areas clean during the job. You can look up any of these brands independently. We name them because we want you to verify what you’re paying for.
Common Duct Repair & Sealing Problems We See in Kyle Homes
- Crushed flex runs behind the air handler. High-volume builders in Kyle’s 2010s-2020s boom bent flex duct around tight corners to save time. The restriction chokes airflow to entire zones. Our camera shows the kink; replacement restores design airflow.
- Disconnected collars at supply boots. Slab-foundation homes with attic duct runs see collar separation from thermal expansion, vibration, and original installation shortcuts. Conditioned air leaks into the attic. You pay to cool space you never occupy.
- Construction dust trapped in finish-out. Ducts left open during drywall, texture, and paint in Kyle’s master-planned communities trapped ultra-fine particulate that standard surface cleaning never touches. The gray drywall-compound coating our cameras find in Plum Creek, Anthem, and Cross Creek is the proof.
- Failed foil-tape seals after years of continuous operation. Kyle’s 90-plus-day summers above 95°F mean HVAC systems run nearly year-round. Builder-grade tape dries, cracks, and peels. Mastic sealant is the permanent fix.

FAQs - Duct Repair & Sealing in Kyle
Because your ducts were likely open during drywall, texture, and paint phases, then sealed up and never properly cleaned before you moved in. In Kyle’s 2010s-2020s construction boom, that was standard practice across master-planned communities. The gray drywall-compound dust our cameras find in 5-to-15-year-old homes isn’t from your living habits. It’s construction-era contamination that has been recirculating since move-in day. Source removal under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, followed by sealing any leaks that developed since, is what actually fixes it. Call (737) 243-9544 for a free inspection and written estimate.
It fixes the leaks and restrictions that waste conditioned air in your attic and wall cavities. Kyle’s slab homes run flex duct through unconditioned attic space. Disconnected collars, crushed runs behind the air handler, and failed tape seals leak cooled air into the attic all summer. Sealing with mastic and repairing damaged runs restores design airflow, reduces runtime, and stops paying to cool space you don’t use. Call (737) 243-9544 for a written quote on your specific system.
If your ducts are intact and properly sealed, source removal cleaning may be sufficient. But in Kyle’s housing stock, we routinely find that cleaning alone leaves the real problem unaddressed: disconnected collars leaking air, crushed flex choking flow, and failed seals that immediately recontaminate the system. Our camera inspection shows which applies to your home. We don’t sell cleaning where repair is needed, or repair where cleaning would suffice. The written scope specifies exactly what we found and what we propose. Call (737) 243-9544 to schedule.
Kyle sits in the Ashe juniper (cedar) pollen corridor blowing east from the Hill Country each December through February. Ultra-fine particulate loads into HVAC intakes that run nearly year-round due to 90-plus-day summers. Continuous operation plus annual cedar loading means allergen buildup accumulates faster than in cities east of I-35. If your ducts are also leaking, that pollen is pulled in through attic and wall cavities, bypassing your filter entirely. Sealing the system is what stops that infiltration. Call (737) 243-9544 for a free estimate.
Because the source may be inside your ductwork, not your living space. In Kyle’s post-construction housing stock, drywall-compound dust and construction particulate trapped in flex runs recirculates continuously through the blower motor. Changing filters catches what passes through the return, not what’s already coating the interior of the supply system. Our before-and-after photo record shows customers exactly what was inside. When we removed the gray dust from that Plum Creek home and sealed the disconnected collar, the owners reported cedar-season symptoms finally eased. Call (737) 243-9544 for a free inspection.
