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.
Abatement Technologies Air Quality & Sanitizing in Austin: What to Know First
We provide independent Abatement Technologies air quality and sanitizing service in Austin, from mold treatment and bacteria sanitizing to UV light installation and whole-home air purifier integration. Most Abatement Technologies jobs we handle in Austin are scheduled within a few business days, and every one starts with a written price before any work begins. Typical whole-system sanitizing runs $340-$780 depending on the unit series and whether we’re treating an existing problem or installing preventive equipment.
This page is for Austin homeowners who own an Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration system, PREDATOR portable air scrubber, or CAP series central air cleaner and need documented results, not a sales pitch. Call (737) 243-9544 for a free estimate with a written price delivered on the spot.
How Abatement Technologies Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- CAP600-series central air cleaners lose UV-C lamp intensity below effective germicidal output. The OEM lamp is rated for 9,000 hours, but in Austin’s hard-water and high-dust environment, we’ve found calcium and mineral film on the quartz sleeve cuts effective output by 40% at the 6,000-hour mark. We pull the sleeve, photograph the scale buildup, and quote replacement of both lamp and sleeve together. Running a weak UV lamp is worse than none - you get false confidence with no actual kill rate on mold spores passing through.
- PREDATOR 750 portable scrubbers develop blower motor imbalance from accumulated construction debris. These units see heavy use in Austin’s renovation market, and the forward-curved impeller loads unevenly when drywall dust settles in the blade valleys. The motor bearings take the stress and start howling at 3,200 RPM. We balance or replace the impeller, clean the housing with negative-pressure extraction (suction that contains the mess instead of spreading it), and test static pressure across the HEPA bank before the unit goes back into service.
- Abatement Technologies HEPA-AIRE PAS2400 systems harbor mold in the condensate pan when drain lines slow in Austin’s humidity. The pan is shallow by design, and a partially clogged drain creates standing water that colonizes the downstream side of the HEPA media. We see this in Tarrytown and Clarksville homes where the original HVAC install left the PAS2400 with a gravity drain that isn’t quite sloped enough. Our fix: clear and treat the drain, replace any mold-stained media, and photograph the pan clean before reassembly.
- CAP1200-UV units suffer premature electronic ballast failure from attic heat in Austin’s summer. The ballast is mounted in the plenum, and when attic temperatures hit 140°F for weeks at a time, the thermal protection cycles repeatedly until the ballast fails open. We relocate the ballast to a cooler accessible location when possible, or spec a high-temperature aftermarket ballast with the same output characteristics. OEM ballast is available but carries a 4-week lead time; the quality aftermarket unit we use matches spec and carries the same 2-year warranty.
- Abatement Technologies negative air machines lose seal integrity at the filter gasket interface after repeated media changes. The silicone gasket compresses permanently after 10-12 changes, and Austin’s pollen seasons mean those changes come fast. We measure leakage with a smoke pencil at the gasket perimeter, replace the gasket if there’s any bypass, and document the seal test in the photo record. A leaking HEPA seal is functionally the same as no HEPA - particles ride the bypass straight into the airstream.
Our Abatement Technologies Air Quality & Sanitizing Process

- 1
Camera scope and written price. Tomas Reyes or a senior tech runs a borescope through the plenum and duct runs, then shows the homeowner the image before naming a price. Haven Standard Clause 1: written price before any work starts, every time.
- 2
Identify the Abatement Technologies series and failure mode. We pull the model data, check lamp hours or media condition, and determine whether OEM parts are in stock or if a quality aftermarket alternative meets spec without voiding any remaining warranty.
- 3
Containment setup. For mold or bacteria jobs, we seal registers and establish negative-pressure extraction at the work zone so nothing migrates to living spaces during treatment.
- 4
Execute the sanitizing or install. This might mean UV lamp and sleeve replacement, HEPA media change with antimicrobial treatment, or whole-home air purifier integration with the existing Abatement Technologies central unit.
- 5
Post-work test and photo record. We verify airflow, check UV output with a radiometer, or run a particle count where applicable. Every duct run is photographed before and after. The customer receives the photo record as a standard deliverable.
- 6
Written warranty delivery. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is documented on the invoice, along with any manufacturer warranty registration we handle on the customer’s behalf.

Why Austin Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Austin for Abatement Technologies Work

We’ve been documenting every duct run with before-and-after photos since our first job in 2013. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing on every invoice, not mentioned in passing and forgotten. Our crew includes techs who’ve worked on Abatement Technologies equipment specifically, and when your system interfaces with a Lennox, Trane, or Carrier air handler, we understand those integrations too - we don’t treat the Abatement Technologies unit as if it lives in isolation.
Background-checked, uniformed technicians operate under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. License number is published on every estimate. Tomas Reyes pulls the camera scope himself on complex jobs - the same approach he learned running ductwork across the Northeast before bringing the operation to Austin. “Show the photo first, then talk about what needs to happen next.” That’s how every Abatement Technologies job starts here.
FAQs
No, if the work is performed by a qualified technician using manufacturer-specified or equivalent parts and methods. As an independent Abatement Technologies service provider, we use OEM or cross-referenced quality aftermarket components that meet or exceed original spec, and we document part numbers on every invoice for warranty traceability. Using uncertified replacement lamps or incorrect voltage ballasts can void coverage, which is why we publish exactly what we install. Call (737) 243-9544 if you need us to verify warranty status before quoting.
You receive the documented photo record showing the before condition, the installed components with visible part numbers, and the post-work verification - UV output measured with a calibrated radiometer, or particle count where applicable. Haven Standard Clause 2 requires this documentation as a standard deliverable, not an upsell. If the work didn’t produce measurable improvement, the 365-Day Done Right Promise applies.
Replacement makes sense when the unit is past 12-15 years, the plenum housing itself is corroded (we’ve seen this in Austin homes with chronic condensate issues), or repair parts are on indefinite backorder. We don’t sell new Abatement Technologies equipment - we’re strictly service - so our recommendation carries no commission incentive. If repair is the honest answer, that’s what we write on the estimate. Bring any replacement quote from another company and we’ll deliver a free second opinion in writing.
The $79 coupon model typically covers a shop-vac at the register and a bill for “additional services” once the crew is inside your home. We quote the full scope upfront, include the photo record, and don’t add line items after arrival. The price difference is the difference between vacuum noise and documented work. Call (737) 243-9544 for a written quote you can compare item by item.
UV lamps every 9,000 hours of runtime (roughly 12-14 months in Austin’s cooling-heavy climate), HEPA media every 2-3 years depending on load, and a full inspection if you notice musty odors, reduced airflow, or increased allergy symptoms. We don’t sell maintenance contracts - we’ll tell you honestly whether your unit needs attention or can wait. Call (737) 243-9544 and we’ll scope it before quoting anything.
