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 Air Duct Cleaning Across Leander
Air duct cleaning in Leander typically runs $380-$620 for a whole-home system, and every job starts with a written price delivered before any work begins. If your Leander home was built after 2005 and you’ve never had the ducts professionally cleaned, there’s a strong chance the original construction debris is still circulating through your supply and return runs.
We serve Leander from our Austin coordination office, with crews running scheduled appointments throughout the 78641 and 78645 zip codes and along the 183A corridor daily. Our technicians know the master-planned communities here - Crystal Falls, Bryson, Travisso - and the specific duct configurations those builders used. Call (737) 243-9544 for a free written estimate.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Austin Is Leander’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been serving Leander homeowners since the brand was established in 2013, and the pattern we see here is unlike anywhere else in Central Texas. The city has been one of the fastest-growing in the United States for over a decade, which means the overwhelming majority of its housing stock was built after 2005 in master-planned subdivisions. Most of those homeowners bought new construction and have never scheduled a duct cleaning. Ducts that are now 8-15 years old frequently still contain the original construction drywall dust, blown-insulation debris, and caliche particulate from Leander’s own relentless surrounding development. We’re not guessing - our camera inspections show it on every third or fourth Leander job.
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Leander work is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every job, not as a policy buried in fine print. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires a written price before any work starts - no exceptions, no “call for a quote.” Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and we identify each crew member by name before arrival. Every visit concludes with a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, delivered as a standard job record, a practice we’ve held since our first job in 2013.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Leander
Residential Duct Cleaning
Leander’s residential market is almost entirely slab-on-grade tract homes with attic-run flex ductwork serving 3-5-ton systems in open-plan layouts. Because the city is so young, the first professional duct cleaning is overdue in thousands of these homes. Our residential service covers the complete supply and return network, from the plenum (the main distribution box at your air handler) through every duct run to each register. We use Rotobrush agitation tools with negative-pressure extraction and HEPA filtration, which means debris is loosened mechanically and immediately sucked out of the system rather than pushed into your living space.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Leander’s commercial growth along the 183A corridor and in the Crystal Falls Town Center area has brought retail and office spaces with their own duct maintenance needs. Commercial systems in Leander typically run larger rooftop units with rigid ductwork and require scheduled cleaning that doesn’t disrupt business hours. We coordinate after-hours and weekend appointments for Leander commercial clients, with the same written pricing and photo documentation standards applied to every job.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms, and in Leander’s newer subdivisions, these are where we most often find the construction-era debris that was never cleared at handover. The supply boots - the short connectors between the main duct and your wall or floor registers - are particularly prone to buildup in Leander homes because builders rarely clean them post-construction. Our supply duct service includes register removal, boot cleaning, and trunk line agitation, with camera verification that the debris has been source-removed, not just disturbed.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to your air handler for reconditioning, and in Leander’s open-plan homes, these often run through attic spaces that accumulate dust from the Hill Country’s caliche-rich soil. The return side is also where your filter sits, and a clogged or poorly fitted filter lets unfiltered air bypass into the ductwork. We inspect the filter rack, clean the return plenum and trunk, and document the before-and-after condition with photos you can review.
Full System Cleaning
A Full System Cleaning is what most Leander homeowners actually need, especially for first-time cleanings in post-2005 construction. This covers supply ducts, return ducts, the plenum, and the air handler cabinet - the complete path air travels through your home. In Leander’s climate, where AC runs continuously from April through October, a full system cleaning removes the accumulated debris that’s been cycling through your living space for years and restores designed airflow volumes.
Video Inspection
Our Video Inspection service uses a borescope camera pushed through every duct run to show you exactly what’s inside before we quote any work. In Leander, this is often the moment homeowners realize their “new” home’s ducts were never properly cleaned at build. The camera doesn’t lie - we show you the drywall compound dust, the insulation fragments, the caliche buildup. The video record becomes part of your job documentation, and we reference it again during the post-cleaning verification.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Leander
Our equipment roster includes professional-grade systems from Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, Honeywell, and Aprilaire - brands you can look up independently to verify specifications. We don’t use shop-vacs or consumer-grade tools. For Leander homeowners, this means the cleaning method matches the debris we’re removing: heavy construction dust and blown insulation require agitation tools with sufficient torque and negative-pressure collection to prevent recontamination. We stock common fittings and replacement components for Honeywell and Aprilaire media air cleaners, which are frequently installed in Leander’s newer homes as builder upgrades, so filter changes and air cleaner servicing can be completed on the same visit.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Leander Homes
- Construction debris left from original build. Builders in Leander’s master-planned communities hand over homes without a post-construction duct cleaning, leaving drywall dust, blown insulation, and caliche particulate in the supply and return ducts for years. Homeowners in Crystal Falls, Bryson, and Travisso assume the builder’s punch-list cleanup included the duct system - so the first professional cleaning is skipped entirely.
- Cedar Fever season indoor air quality strain. Leander sits at the Hill Country’s eastern edge, where Ashe juniper produces severe pollen events each December through February. Homes sealed tight against the cold recirculate whatever’s in the ducts, and construction-era debris provides a substrate that holds pollen and fine particulate in the system longer.
- Attic flex duct damage from other trades. Attic-run flex ductwork in Leander’s slab-on-grade tract homes can be punctured or disconnected during cable installation, pest control, or holiday decoration storage. Without a camera inspection, the leak goes unnoticed while the system pulls 140-degree attic dust into the living space through negative pressure.
- Overdue first cleanings in 8-15 year old homes. Because Leander’s housing stock is almost entirely post-2005 master-planned tract homes, a large share of its duct systems have never been professionally cleaned and are still holding the original construction drywall dust and blown-insulation debris from handover. The first real cleaning often happens 8 to 15 years after move-in, not before.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Leander, TX
A typical residential Full System Cleaning in Leander runs $380-$620 for a standard 3-4 ton, single-return home with 10-15 registers. Larger homes with multiple return plenums or 5-ton systems range $550-$780. Commercial duct cleaning in Leander is quoted per system after site review. Video Inspection alone is $89-$140, applied toward the cleaning price if you proceed.
What moves the price: number of supply and return runs, accessibility of the air handler (attic vs. closet), presence of construction debris requiring extended agitation time, and whether the system includes an electronic air cleaner or UV light that needs temporary removal. We do not price per vent - Haven Standard Clause 1 requires one flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts. No per-vent add-ons, no equipment surcharges after arrival.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Leander
Yes, and likely more than a home twice its age in a different city. Leander’s post-2005 master-planned homes were handed over without post-construction duct cleaning as standard practice, so ducts built in 2018 often contain 6-7 years of accumulated drywall dust, blown insulation, and caliche particulate from surrounding development. In Bryson, we pulled supply registers in a 2016-built home and found the vent boots packed with drywall compound dust and blown-fiberglass fragments left from the original build - the homeowner had never scheduled a cleaning because “new construction” implied clean ducts. Our tech ran the Rotobrush agitation tools through the supply and return ducts under negative pressure with HEPA filtration at the air handler, then camera-inspected the trunk lines to confirm source removal. The blower motor amp draw came back to spec and the homeowner noticed the fine white dust on furniture stopped within the week. Call (737) 243-9544 for a free estimate - we’ll camera-inspect first so you see what you’re breathing.
It removes drywall compound dust, blown-fiberglass insulation fragments, sawdust, caliche particulate from construction traffic, and the fine limestone dust that settles in ducts during the months between rough-in and final walkthrough. These materials are not benign - drywall dust is abrasive to blower motors and coils, and fiberglass fragments can become airborne when disturbed by airflow. A proper post-construction cleaning uses agitation tools, not just vacuum suction, to dislodge debris adhered to duct walls. Call (737) 243-9544 and we’ll show you exactly what’s in your system before quoting any work.
Leander’s climate creates a narrow window of acute need. From December through February, Ashe juniper pollen triggers Cedar Fever just as homes are sealed tight against cold, recirculating duct debris with every heating cycle. From April through October, continuous AC operation pulls caliche and limestone dust through systems already burdened with construction-era buildup. Cleaning before peak season means the system operates at designed efficiency when demand is highest. Call (737) 243-9544 to schedule before the next pollen event or summer cooling load.
Yes, and this describes most Leander homes in Crystal Falls, Bryson, and Travisso. Flex ductwork requires lower agitation torque than rigid metal to avoid damage, and our Rotobrush systems are adjustable for duct material type. We also camera-inspect flex runs before and after cleaning to verify no disconnection or puncture exists - a common issue in Leander attics where other trades have worked. The cleaning method is adapted to the material, not forced. Call (737) 243-9544 for a written quote on your specific system.
Yes, and for Leander’s construction-debris-heavy systems, the difference matters. Supply duct cleaning addresses only the pressure side that pushes air to your rooms. Return duct cleaning addresses the suction side that pulls air back to the handler. A Full System Cleaning covers both, plus the plenum and air handler cabinet. Because construction debris in Leander homes is often distributed throughout the entire system at build, partial cleaning leaves contamination that immediately re-cross-contaminates the cleaned sections. We quote each option in writing so you choose based on what the camera shows, not guesswork. Call (737) 243-9544 for a free inspection and written scope.
