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.

Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Schertz Is Bulverde’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company

Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Bulverde
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Bulverde homes we see are 2,500-4,000 square feet, built between 2005 and 2023, with flexible ductwork routed through unconditioned attics. Those attics hit 140°F regularly in summer. The combination bakes construction debris into the flex-duct liner and degrades the adhesive over time. Our residential service starts with a video inspection, then sets the system under negative-pressure extraction (a sealed vacuum that pulls debris out without releasing it into the living space) and works each duct run with mechanical agitation. Every run is photographed before and after.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Bulverde’s commercial growth along Hwy 46 and the Spring Branch corridor includes medical offices, retail, and light industrial spaces with rooftop package units and hard-pipe trunk systems. We clean these with the same documented protocol: written scope, written price, photo record on completion. Commercial systems in Bulverde face the same cedar pollen load as residences, plus higher occupancy rates that accelerate filter loading.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air to your registers. In Bulverde’s newer homes, we routinely find the supply lines still carrying drywall dust from original construction, now bonded with two or three seasons of Ashe juniper pollen. We clean each supply run individually, from the plenum (the main distribution box at the air handler) to the register boot, with agitation tools and HEPA-contained extraction. The register itself is removed, cleaned, and reinstalled.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler for reconditioning. This is where Bulverde’s cedar pollen problem is most visible - the return-air intakes on north and west faces of homes catch the prevailing winds during Cedar Fever season, and the ultrafine pollen coats the interior surfaces. We clean the return drop, the return trunk, and each return duct run, photographing the debris load at the air handler before we start.
Full System Cleaning
This is what most Bulverde homes actually need. The full system includes both supply and return sides, the plenum, the air handler cabinet (blower and coil access permitting), and all registers. We also include the dryer vent if it’s accessible from the same utility area. The job concludes with a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, delivered as part of the standard job record.
Video Inspection
Our techs carry borescope cameras on every truck. Before we quote a price, we can show you the inside of your ductwork on a handheld screen. In Bulverde, this usually reveals one of two things: construction debris that should have been removed before move-in, or pollen buildup that standard filters never caught. The inspection itself is free with any scheduled service.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Bulverde Homes
- Construction debris sealed in at handover. In the newer subdivisions off FM 1863 and the Hwy 46 / Spring Branch corridor, we regularly open return drops on homes that passed builder walkthroughs and pull out drywall dust and cellulose insulation fragments still sitting in attic flex runs years after closing. The builder’s C/O inspection checks that the system runs, not that it’s clean.
- Cedar pollen bonded to construction residue. That construction debris becomes the sticky base layer that two or three Cedar Fever seasons of Ashe juniper pollen bond to. A 5-year-old Bulverde house can have dirtier ducts than a 20-year-old home in the San Antonio flatlands.
- Condensation cycling in attic flex runs. The large day-to-night temperature swings on the Edwards Plateau promote moisture accumulation inside ductwork. Pollen and limestone dust adhere to these wet surfaces, and standard filter changes can’t remove what’s already glued to the liner.
- Partial cleaning that misses the attic runs. Some operators clean only the trunk lines and registers, skipping the flexible ductwork in unconditioned attics. The original builder debris and insulation fragments sitting upstream keep re-contaminating the whole system within weeks.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Bulverde, TX
A typical Full System Cleaning in Bulverde runs $380-$720, depending on system size, accessibility, and debris load. Supply-only or return-only cleaning ranges $220-$420. Commercial systems start around $580 and scale with square footage and hard-pipe complexity. Video Inspection is included free with any scheduled service.
What moves the price: the number of duct runs, whether attic access requires crawl-board work, the presence of construction debris requiring extended agitation time, and whether the air handler needs cabinet cleaning. We deliver one flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts - Haven Standard Clause 1. No per-vent pricing. No add-ons after the truck arrives.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Bulverde
Because the builder’s certificate of occupancy inspection verifies that the system runs, not that it’s clean. In Bulverde’s newer subdivisions off FM 1863 and the Spring Branch corridor, we routinely find attic flex runs still packed with drywall dust and cellulose insulation fragments from original construction, now bonded with two or three cedar seasons’ worth of pollen. A 5-year-old Bulverde house often needs cleaning more urgently than a 20-year-old home in the San Antonio flatlands. Call (830) 402-5110 for a free inspection and written estimate.
Yes - the ultrafine Ashe juniper pollen infiltrates return-air intakes and coats duct interiors at rates homeowners in the San Antonio flatlands simply don’t experience. The pollen bonds to any existing debris layer, and the Edwards Plateau’s temperature swings create condensation that glues it to the duct liner. Standard filter changes cannot remove what’s already adhered. Annual post-cedar-season duct cleaning is a genuine health necessity in Bulverde, not a routine upsell. Call (830) 402-5110 to schedule after the season peaks.
Real duct cleaning means source removal: the system is sealed under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, each duct run is worked with mechanical agitation tools, and debris is extracted at the source - not pushed around or masked with deodorizer. In Bulverde, this specifically includes the attic flex runs where construction debris and pollen accumulate, photographed before and after. CleanRun delivers a Documented Photo Record of every run as a standard deliverable. Call (830) 402-5110 for a written scope and price before any work starts.
Flexible ductwork in unconditioned attics degrades faster in Bulverde’s 140°F summer peaks, and the large day-to-night temperature swings promote condensation cycling that gives pollen and limestone dust a moist surface to adhere to. The flex liner’s ribbed texture also traps construction debris more tenaciously than hard pipe. Cleaning requires proper agitation tools - running a truck-mounted vacuum without agitation knocks loose surface pollen but leaves the compacted base layer glued to the liner. Call (830) 402-5110 and we’ll show you the difference on camera.
We clean both. Bulverde’s commercial growth along Hwy 46 includes medical offices, retail, and light industrial spaces with rooftop package units and hard-pipe trunk systems. The protocol is the same: written scope, written price, documented photo record, 365-Day Done Right Promise. Commercial systems face the same cedar pollen load as residences, plus higher occupancy rates that accelerate filter loading. Call (830) 402-5110 for a free commercial estimate.
