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.

AfterAbatement Technologies Dryer Vent Cleaning in Austin: What to Know First
CleanRun provides independent Abatement Technologies dryer vent cleaning in Austin with a written price delivered before any work starts and a documented photo record of every vent run. Most Abatement Technologies jobs are completed in a single visit, with the crew arriving in a marked van and identified by name before they step on your property. This page is for Austin homeowners who own an Abatement Technologies dryer vent system and want to know exactly what failed, what it costs to fix, and what proof they’ll have that the work was done. Call (737) 243-9544 for a free estimate with no obligation.
How Abatement Technologies Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- PREDATOR 600 series: blower motor bearing wear from Austin’s hard water and limestone dust. The PREDATOR 600’s sealed motor bearings degrade faster in Central Texas than in coastal climates because calcium-rich runoff from limestone geology works into the housing through vent cap gaps. We pull the motor, photograph the bearing race, and replace with an OEM-equivalent SKF sealed unit rather than rebuilding in place. The photo goes in your job record.
- BD2KL lint trap housing cracks from thermal cycling in unconditioned Austin garages. Abatement Technologies’ BD2KL series uses a polymer lint trap housing that fatigues where the 180-degree exhaust meets the 120-degree garage ambient, especially in Westlake Hills homes with west-facing utility walls. We source the reinforced aluminum aftermarket housing from Nikro - it outlasts OEM in this climate and costs less - and document the swap with before-and-after images.
- HEPA-CARE 2000 inline booster fan failure from cedar pollen accumulation. Austin’s January-through-April cedar season loads the HEPA-CARE 2000’s inline fan with fine particulate that bypasses the lint screen. The fan draws higher amperage, trips the thermal overload, and the homeowner notices clothes taking two cycles. We disassemble the fan housing, photo the pollen cake on the impeller, and clean with negative-pressure extraction rather than compressed air, which would drive particles deeper.
- Portable 500 series flex duct collapse at the roof jack in older Tarrytown homes. The Portable 500’s lightweight flex duct, common in 2016-2019 infill construction, sags where it penetrates the roof jack if the support strap spacing exceeds four feet. In Austin’s summer attic heat, the sag deepens, lint collects at the low point, and airflow drops 40 percent before the dryer throws an error code. We reroute with rigid aluminum where accessible, support every three feet with molly bolts to rafters, and photo the slope with a level in frame.
- Abatement Technologies vent caps: bird guard mesh corrosion from humidity cycling. The factory mesh on Abatement Technologies vent caps corrodes at the weld points where Lake Travis morning humidity meets afternoon attic heat above 140 degrees. Birds pull the weakened mesh, nest in the duct, and block airflow completely. We replace with a Guardsman stainless mesh cap, which uses a continuous weave rather than spot welds, and show you the corrosion pattern on the old cap before disposal.
Our Abatement Technologies Dryer Vent Cleaning Process
- 1
Camera inspection before quote. Tomas Reyes or a CleanRun technician runs a scope through the full vent run, including the plenum connection - the main collection box where multiple ducts meet. You see the image on a tablet before we write a price.
- 2
Written price under Haven Standard Clause 1. The scope determines whether we’re cleaning, replacing a component, or rerouting. The price is fixed per system, not per vent, and you sign before we touch a tool.
- 3
Component decision: OEM or verified aftermarket. For Abatement Technologies parts, we stock OEM when the warranty is active and quality aftermarket when it isn’t. We name the manufacturer on the written scope - SKF, Nikro, Guardsman - so you can verify before we proceed.
- 4
Negative-pressure extraction and mechanical agitation. We connect a Rotobrush HEPA vacuum to the vent terminus and run a rotary brush from the dryer side, pulling debris toward the vacuum rather than pushing it into the home. The Abatement Technologies inline fan, if present, is bypassed with a temporary collar to protect the motor.
- 5
Airflow verification and photo documentation. We measure exhaust velocity with an anemometer at the vent cap - minimum 1,000 FPM for a standard residential run - and photograph the reading, the clean duct interior, and the reassembled connection points. These images are delivered as your Documented Photo Record.
- 6
365-Day Done Right Promise activation. The written guarantee goes into your job file. If airflow drops or any connection fails within a year, we return and make it right.

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 2013, and that practice doesn’t change because the brand on the vent cap is Abatement Technologies. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing on every job, not stated in marketing copy and forgotten. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and they know Abatement Technologies product lines from the PREDATOR series through the HEPA-CARE line because we service them regularly in Austin’s 2015-2025 construction stock. When we encounter an Abatement Technologies component that’s obsolete or back-ordered, we also work on Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems - cross-brand knowledge means we don’t stall your job waiting for a single-source part. Tomas Reyes pulls the camera scope himself on complex jobs; it’s the same habit he developed running ductwork in Hyde Park bungalows where the original flex had sagged for thirty years without anyone opening an access panel. Show the photo first, then talk about what needs to happen next.
FAQs
No. As an independent Abatement Technologies service provider, we use warranty-safe practices: OEM parts when the warranty is active, no modifications to factory electrical or structural components, and documentation that supports any future warranty claim you file directly with Abatement Technologies. We note the serial number and install date on your written scope for your records. Call (737) 243-9544 if you need help determining warranty status.
We name the part manufacturer on the written scope you sign before work starts - OEM Abatement Technologies, SKF, Nikro, or Guardsman - and photograph the part label in the box before installation. The photo is included in your Documented Photo Record. If we specified OEM and you want to verify, the part number is on the image with a timestamp. Call (737) 243-9544 if you have questions about a specific component.
Replace if the flex duct is brittle from Austin attic heat, the inline fan motor has seized, or the total repair estimate exceeds 60 percent of a new system’s installed cost. Repair if the failure is isolated to a cleanable blockage, a corroded cap, or a cracked lint trap housing. We show you the scope image and both price paths before you decide. Call (737) 243-9544 for a free second opinion on any written estimate.
We schedule dryer vent cleaning within a few business days, with emergency slots available for active blockages that present a fire hazard. We don’t promise same-day because proper documentation takes time, and we won’t skip the camera inspection to hit an artificial deadline. Call (737) 243-9544 and we’ll find the first slot that allows us to do the job completely.
You receive a Documented Photo Record of every vent run, before and after, plus the anemometer reading showing post-cleaning airflow. These are standard deliverables on every CleanRun job, not add-ons. If your homeowner’s insurance or a future buyer requests proof of maintenance, the dated images and written scope satisfy that requirement. Call (737) 243-9544 if you need additional documentation formats.
