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 Rotobrush Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Beast Series blower wheel imbalance. The Beast line’s high-RPM blower wheel collects debris unevenly in Houston’s humid Gulf Coast climate, where airborne moisture binds dust into clumps rather than allowing it to pass through. We remove the wheel assembly, clean it with a soft-bristle rotary tool to preserve the factory balance weights, and photograph the imbalance pattern before reassembly.
- BrushBeast condensate pan biofilm. The BrushBeast’s shallow condensate pan design traps standing water during Houston’s shoulder seasons when systems short-cycle. We find pink or gray slime buildup that standard bleach tablets won’t touch. Our fix: mechanical removal with a non-metallic scraper, followed by a pH-neutral coil treatment safe for the pan’s polymer coating, documented in the photo record.
- Rotobrush Classic+ evaporator coil fin corrosion. The Classic+ series uses aluminum fins that react with Houston’s occasional sulfur-rich air masses, particularly in homes near the Ship Channel or industrial corridors. We use a foaming cleaner at reduced pressure to avoid fin compression, then apply a corrosion inhibitor that won’t void any remaining manufacturer warranty.
- AIr+ handler cabinet rust at the plenum seam. The AIr+ line’s galvanized cabinet seams weep condensation when Houston’s outdoor dew point stays above 70°F for weeks straight. We clean the affected area, treat with a rust converter rated for HVAC applications, and seal with a mastic compound rated to 250°F - not duct tape, which fails in attic heat.
- Rotobrush duct cleaning machine vacuum motor seal degradation. The portable units themselves, not the HVAC system, suffer from this: the HEPA vacuum motor’s shaft seal hardens in Houston’s attic heat, causing suction loss that owners mistake for a clogged brush. We replace the seal with a Viton-grade aftermarket part that outlasts the OEM nitrile specification in high-heat environments.
Our Rotobrush HVAC Cleaning Process

- 1
System inspection with photo baseline. We photograph the plenum, coil, blower, and accessible duct runs before touching anything. The photo goes first. The pitch comes later, if it’s warranted.
- 2
Written scope and price. Haven Standard Clause 1: we deliver a written price for the full job before any work starts. No per-vent add-ons, no surprise charges.
- 3
Component removal and cleaning. We pull the blower assembly or coil frame as the unit design allows, clean with Rotobrush-compatible methods, and flag any parts showing wear that could affect warranty coverage.
- 4
OEM or verified aftermarket replacement. When a part fails, we source OEM Rotobrush components when available, or specify quality aftermarket equivalents with published specifications - never generic substitutions.
- 5
Reassembly, operational test, and final photo record. We run the system through a complete cycle, measure temperature drop across the coil, and deliver before-and-after photos of every cleaned component as part of the standard job record.
- 6
365-Day Done Right Promise activation. The written guarantee goes into your file. If the work is not right, we make it right.

AfterWhat Rotobrush HVAC Cleaning Costs in Houston
| Service | Typical Range | What Moves the Price |
|---|---|---|
| Rotobrush evaporator coil cleaning | $280-$420 | Coil accessibility, fin condition, whether treatment is included |
| Rotobrush blower assembly cleaning | $240-$380 | Wheel removal complexity, bearing inspection needs |
| Rotobrush air handler full cleaning | $450-$680 | Number of components, plenum condition, photo documentation scope |
| Condenser coil cleaning (outdoor unit) | $180-$290 | Refrigerant line access, fin density, surrounding debris |
| Heat exchanger cleaning | $320-$480 | Inspection camera requirements, soot or corrosion level |
Factors that increase cost: systems in Houston attics with limited access, units that haven’t been serviced in 3+ years, or jobs requiring corrosion treatment after our inspection finds active fin degradation. We do not quote per-vent pricing. One flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts. Call (346) 251-8919 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Why Houston Homeowners Call CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning for Rotobrush Work

We’ve cleaned Rotobrush equipment in Houston since 2013, and the pattern we see is consistent: owners who bought these units for their compact design or contractor-grade pricing need service from someone who knows the product line, not a generalist with a shop vac. Tomas Reyes, our owner, spent years in the northeast before relocating the operation to Houston, and the Gulf Coast humidity taught him fast that a mildly dusty duct here becomes a debris problem faster than most homeowners expect. Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews means our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems, so if your Rotobrush unit is part of a mixed-brand setup, we don’t need to call in a second contractor. Every job ends with a Documented Photo Record and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
FAQs
No - warranty coverage is voided by improper service, not by who performs it. We use manufacturer-specified cleaning agents and pressures, document our methods in writing, and flag any component that shows wear that could affect remaining warranty terms. If you have a current Rotobrush warranty, we note the serial number and service date in your job record for your files. Call (346) 251-8919 to discuss your specific unit.
Replacement is warranted when we find cracked blower wheels, fin corrosion that has penetrated to the copper tubing, or heat exchanger cracks visible under inspection camera. Everything else - debris buildup, biofilm, surface rust, imbalanced wheels - is addressable through cleaning and targeted repair. We show you the inspection photos and explain which category your unit falls into before quoting either service. Call (346) 251-8919 for a free inspection.
Yes for most Beast and BrushBeast series components; the Classic+ line has some discontinued parts where we specify verified aftermarket equivalents with published specifications. We never install generic substitutions on Rotobrush equipment. If your unit requires a part we cannot source to spec, we tell you before any work starts, not after disassembly.
Every 24-36 months for typical residential use; every 12-18 months if you run the system year-round, have pets, or live within two miles of a major Houston construction zone or industrial corridor. Gulf Coast humidity accelerates debris adhesion and biofilm growth compared to drier climates. We note the recommended next service interval in your written job record.
Our Documented Photo Record shows the inside of every accessible duct run and component before and after. You receive these photos as part of the standard deliverable, not as an upsell. Haven Standard Clause 1 means you also have our written scope stating exactly what was cleaned. If the photos don’t match the scope, the 365-Day Done Right Promise applies. Call (346) 251-8919 to schedule - estimates are free.
