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 New Braunfels
Air duct cleaning in New Braunfels typically runs $380-$720 for a full residential system, with most jobs completed in a single visit and a written price delivered before any panel comes off. We dispatch crews from our San Antonio office and route them daily through the I-35 corridor to reach homes from the historic core to the new subdivisions off FM 306. If you’re seeing chalky dust at your registers, smelling musty air when the AC cycles, or noticing weak airflow in back rooms, the problem is usually more than surface debris - it’s often disconnected runs, caliche buildup, or pollen-bound microbial mats that a vacuum pass won’t touch.
Our Air Duct Cleaning team works the full range of New Braunfels housing: 1950s bungalows with original flex retrofits in tight attics, river-corridor homes fighting humidity-driven growth, and new construction in Veramendi where the ducts were never cleaned after the builders left. Every job starts with a written price and ends with a Documented Photo Record of every run. Call (830) 402-5110 for a free estimate - we’ll put our number next to any competitor’s written quote under our Free Second Opinion.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Schertz Is New Braunfels’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve served New Braunfels homeowners since 2013, and the pattern we see here differs from San Antonio or Austin markets. The combination of Ashe juniper pollen loads, caliche limestone dust from Hill Country grading, and river-corridor humidity creates duct conditions that generic crews misdiagnose. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival - Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews - and they carry trade-recognized equipment including Rotobrush and Nikro systems.
New Braunfels customers receive the same deliverable on every visit: a written scope, a written price agreed before work starts, and a photo record showing the inside of every duct run before and after. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies here exactly as it does everywhere we work - backed in writing, not subject to manager approval. Our local reputation is built on documentation, not slogans. When crews pull a camera through a supply plenum and show the homeowner a 3-inch debris build-up at the first elbow, that image does more than any review count could.
Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our San Antonio office, with crews running daily routes through Seguin, Cibolo, and into New Braunfels. Response time to the city is typically same-week, with most estimates scheduled within 48 hours of call.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in New Braunfels
Residential Duct Cleaning
New Braunfels’s housing stock demands two distinct approaches. In the historic German-settled core near downtown, we regularly find pre-1960 homes with flex duct retrofitted into tight attic spaces - runs that have disconnected, crushed, or sagged over decades. A surface blow-out clean restores nothing until the branch is physically reconnected and sealed. In the master-planned subdivisions like Veramendi and the Vintage Oaks corridor, post-2000 slab-on-grade construction with long attic duct runs is the norm, and post-construction debris cleaning is frequently skipped before move-in. Our residential service includes source removal under negative-pressure extraction (suction that pulls debris out without releasing it into your home) with agitation tools and HEPA filtration, followed by a Documented Photo Record of every run.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Commercial systems in New Braunfels - from the restaurants along I-35 to medical offices near the hospital district - face the same cedar pollen and humidity load as residential, but with higher occupancy and more stringent air turnover requirements. We quote commercial jobs with a written scope and price before work begins, using Nikro and Abatement Technologies equipment sized for larger plenums and trunk lines. Every commercial job concludes with the same photo documentation standard.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms, and in New Braunfels they’re where we most often find the chalky white caliche dust that defines local ductwork. Technicians working the newer subdivisions off FM 306 and FM 1863 routinely pull this material caked inside supply plenums - a direct byproduct of the region’s chalky soil being disturbed during mass grading of new lots and tracked through homes before HVAC systems were sealed. Supply duct cleaning here requires agitation tools that break the bond between caliche fines and duct walls, not just suction.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the handler, and in New Braunfels they’re the primary collection point for ultra-fine Ashe juniper pollen during December-February Cedar Fever season. That pollen doesn’t sit loose - it binds with dust and river-corridor humidity to form a sticky mat on duct walls. Return-side cleaning without proper agitation and HEPA containment just redistributes the load. We photograph the return trunk before and after so you can verify the difference.
Full System Cleaning
A full system cleaning in New Braunfels addresses supply runs, return runs, the plenum (the distribution box where air splits to individual ducts), and the registers where air enters your rooms. This is the service we recommend for homes near the Guadalupe and Comal River corridors, where humidity pockets accelerate microbial growth across the entire system. Full system jobs run $580-$720 for a typical New Braunfels home.
Video Inspection
Our video inspection service sends a borescope camera through every accessible duct run, documenting what we find before quoting any work. In New Braunfels, this step frequently reveals the real problem: disconnected branches in historic attics, caliche buildup in new construction, or pollen-bound mats in river-corridor homes. The footage becomes part of your job record. Video inspection alone is $180-$240, credited toward the full cleaning if you proceed.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in New Braunfels
CleanRun crews arrive with professional-grade equipment from trade-recognized brands: Rotobrush agitation systems, Nikro negative-pressure extractors, Honeywell media filters, and Aprilaire whole-home air cleaners. We don’t ask customers to take our word for performance - these are manufacturer-documented tools you can look up independently. For New Braunfels homeowners with Aprilaire or Honeywell whole-house systems installed, we stock replacement media and components locally, so filter changes and system integration don’t require a two-week order delay.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in New Braunfels Homes
- Chalky caliche dust in new construction. Homes in Veramendi and along FM 306/FM 1863 get moved into before anyone cleans the caliche limestone dust, drywall particulate, and insulation debris left sitting in the ducts from grading and framing day one. The dust looks like white powder at registers and resists standard vacuum passes.
- Disconnected or crushed flex runs in historic homes. Pre-1960 bungalows in the German-settled core have original flex duct retrofitted into tight attic spaces where decades of heat have caused runs to disconnect, crush, or sag. A cleaning crew that doesn’t inspect with a camera will blow air past the problem and leave it unfixed.
- Microbial mats in river-corridor humidity. Homes within roughly a mile of the Guadalupe and Comal River corridors sit in humidity pockets that keep duct interiors damp, letting juniper pollen and dust bind into microbial mats that a dry vacuum pass won’t remove. Source removal with agitation and HEPA filtration is required.
- Cedar pollen overload in supply plenums. The December-February Ashe juniper release in New Braunfels is among the most intense in Texas. Ultra-fine pollen infiltrates duct systems and loads supply plenums far more aggressively than typical seasonal allergens, reducing airflow and circulating allergen-laden dust year-round.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in New Braunfels, TX
A typical residential duct cleaning in New Braunfels runs $380-$580 for a standard system with 8-12 supply and return runs. Full system cleaning, including plenum, trunk lines, and all registers, runs $580-$720. Video inspection is $180-$240, applied to the cleaning price if you proceed. Commercial systems are quoted per scope after site review.
What moves the price: system size (number of duct runs), accessibility (crawl space vs. walk-in attic), contamination level (light dust vs. caliche caking or microbial growth), and whether duct repair or reconnection is needed. We deliver a written price before any work starts - Haven Standard Clause 1 - so the number you agree to is the number on the invoice. No per-vent add-ons, no post-arrival upsells.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in New Braunfels
It’s caliche limestone dust, specific to Hill Country-edge construction where builders grade through chalky soil before pouring slabs. That dust gets tracked through homes during construction, settles in ducts before the HVAC system is sealed, and cakes on plenum walls in a way clay-soil dust doesn’t. We remove it with agitation tools that break the bond, then extract under negative pressure with HEPA filtration. Call (830) 402-5110 for a free estimate - we’ll show you the difference on camera before quoting any work.
Yes - more than most seasonal allergens. Ashe juniper pollen is ultra-fine and released in massive volumes December through February in New Braunfels, infiltrating return ducts and binding with humidity to form sticky mats on duct walls. San Antonio crews a half-hour south don’t see the same load. That pollen circulates year-round if not source-removed. We document the buildup with camera inspection and remove it with agitation and negative-pressure extraction. Call (830) 402-5110 to schedule before the next release.
Disconnected or crushed flex duct branches in the attic. Historic homes in the German-settled core were retrofitted with flex runs in tight spaces where decades of heat cause sagging, separation at collars, or crushing under foot traffic. A cleaning without camera inspection misses the problem entirely. We inspect first, reconnect and seal crushed runs, then clean - the homeowner’s return-side static drops and the back rooms finally get real airflow at the registers. Call (830) 402-5110 for a free estimate with video inspection.
Yes - source removal under negative pressure with mechanical agitation, HEPA filtration on all exhaust, and access cuts made according to duct material specifications. The H.A.V.E.N. Standard exceeds NADCA in documentation: every run photographed before and after, written scope delivered, written price agreed before work starts. Ask to see our job record from any recent New Braunfels visit - the photo sequence and written scope are standard deliverables, not extras.
Faster than the regional average. The Guadalupe and Comal River corridors create localized humidity pockets that keep duct interiors damp, accelerating the binding of dust, pollen, and skin cells into microbial mats. Homes within a mile of the rivers typically need full system cleaning every 3-4 years rather than the 5-7 year standard for drier areas. We assess buildup with video inspection and quote based on what we find. Call (830) 402-5110 for a free estimate - estimates are free, and the camera doesn’t lie.
