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 Schertz
Air duct cleaning in Schertz typically runs $380-$720 for a full residential system and includes a documented photo record of every duct run before and after. CleanRun crews are dispatched from our San Antonio office and serve Schertz homes directly, including the subdivisions along FM 78, Seguin Road, and the neighborhoods near Anton Schumann Park Campground. Call (830) 402-5110 for a written price before any work starts.
We’ve been in Schertz homes since 2013, and the pattern is consistent: houses that look clean on the surface have construction debris, attic dust, or delaminating flex duct hidden in the plenum (the main distribution box above your air handler). Our Air Duct Cleaning team documents everything with before-and-after photos so you see what was actually in your system, not just hear about it.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Schertz Is Schertz’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Schertz homeowners choose us because we show evidence before asking for trust. Every job starts with a written price under Haven Standard Clause 1, proceeds with background-checked technicians identified by name before arrival, and ends with a photo record of every duct run delivered as a standard job document. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing on every invoice, not buried in a policy manual.
Our crews know the local housing stock. We’ve cleaned ducts in the subdivisions off Roy Richard Drive, along John E Peterson Boulevard, and throughout the FM 78 corridor where builder-grade flex duct from the early 2000s is now reaching its functional end of life. We don’t guess at what’s in your system. We run a video inspection first, show you the footage, then quote the work in writing.
All calls are answered by a live person, 24/7, and scheduling is coordinated from our San Antonio office with same-week availability typical for Schertz addresses. Technicians arrive in uniform, in marked vehicles, with the equipment roster published on your written estimate: Rotobrush agitation systems, Nikro and Abatement Technologies negative-pressure extractors, and HEPA filtration rated for fine particulate removal.
Our Free Second Opinion on Any Written Estimate means you can bring a competitor’s quote and we’ll put our number next to it, line item by line item, with no cost or obligation. Haven Standard Clause 4: Transparent Pricing.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Schertz
Residential Duct Cleaning
Schertz’s residential market is dominated by two housing waves: the late-1990s to early-2010s builder boom that produced thousands of flex-duct homes, and the military-rental inventory cycling through PCS orders near JBSA-Randolph. Both create specific contamination profiles. In owner-occupied homes near Edens Cemetery and the Seguin Road corridor, we regularly find drywall dust from original construction still lodged at supply branch elbows. In rental properties, it’s accumulated tenant debris and neglected filter changes. Our residential service covers the full duct network: supply runs, return runs, trunk lines, and the plenum, with agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction (a vacuum system that pulls debris out while keeping it contained). Every run is photographed before and after. The photo record is yours to keep.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Schertz’s commercial base includes service businesses along 90th Infantry Division Highway, medical offices, and retail spaces in newer developments. Commercial systems differ from residential in duct gauge, access panel requirements, and occupancy code compliance. We size the crew and equipment to the system: Rotobrush for light commercial flex duct, Nikro portable extractors for tight mechanical rooms, and Abatement Technologies HEPA negative-air machines when occupancy must continue during cleaning. Written scope and price are delivered before any panel is removed. The documented photo record applies to commercial jobs as well, with photos tagged by duct zone for facility maintenance records.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms. In Schertz, these runs are where we most often find post-construction debris: drywall chunks, wood shavings, and insulation scraps left by builders who never cleaned the system before handover. The supply branches in 2000s-era Schertz subdivisions are typically flex duct routed through unconditioned attics, and after twenty years of 150°F summer heat, the inner liner begins to delaminate. We use motorized agitation brushes to dislodge debris from the flex duct walls, then extract under continuous negative pressure. The camera inspection afterward verifies the liner is intact and the run is clear.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler for reconditioning. In Schertz, these are the system’s workhorses during Mountain Cedar season, when Ashe juniper pollen loads the grilles from December through February. The early-2000s subdivisions along FM 78 and Seguin Road have a known regional defect: undersized return ducts installed by HVAC subcontractors cutting material costs. The restricted diameter pulls air at higher velocity, drawing attic dust past duct seams and accelerating interior contamination. We clean the full return path from grille to air handler, seal accessible seams where leakage is visible, and document the condition of the flex liner. If the liner is delaminating, we note it in the photo record and include repair options in the written estimate.
Full System Cleaning
A full system cleaning in Schertz addresses supply network, return network, plenum, and air handler cabinet as an integrated job. This is what we recommend for homes that have never had professional duct service, for properties changing tenants near JBSA-Randolph, and for owners experiencing unexplained dust accumulation or respiratory irritation during Mountain Cedar season. The full system service includes video inspection of all accessible runs, agitation and negative-pressure extraction, and the complete photo record. Typical range in Schertz: $580-$920 depending on system size and accessibility.
Video Inspection
Our video inspection service uses a borescope camera pushed through the duct network to show you the interior condition before any cleaning decision. In Schertz, this is particularly valuable for military renters who want to document pre-existing conditions for landlords, and for buyers of 2000s-era homes who need to verify whether the flex duct liner is intact. The video file is included as part of the inspection report. If you proceed with cleaning, the inspection fee is applied to the job price. If you don’t, you keep the footage and the written condition report either way.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Schertz Homes
- Post-construction debris in newer homes. A house built in 2019 off John E Peterson Boulevard still had drywall dust in the supply branches when we inspected it in 2024. The builder’s HVAC subcontractor never cleaned the system before final walkthrough. The owner assumed a four-year-old house couldn’t need duct cleaning. The camera showed otherwise.
- Delaminating flex duct liner from attic heat exposure. Schertz attics routinely exceed 150°F from June through September. After fifteen to twenty years, the fiberglass inner liner on flex duct separates from its backing and sheds particulate directly into the airstream. We see this in homes throughout the FM 78 corridor and near Seguin Road. Cleaning removes loose material; the photo record shows whether the liner needs repair or replacement.
- Undersized returns pulling attic contamination. The regional HVAC subcontractors who worked Schertz’s early-2000s boom frequently ran 14-inch returns where 16-inch was specified. Higher velocity past leaky seams draws attic dust into the system continuously. These homes test dirty ahead of their age. We identify restricted returns during video inspection and note them in the written scope.
- Mountain Cedar loading during winter pollen events. Schertz’s position on the eastern Hill Country edge means intense Ashe juniper pollen from December through February. Fine particulate accumulates in return grilles and duct interiors, then redistributes when the system cycles. Late-winter duct cleaning appointments spike predictably here. We schedule additional HEPA-equipped crews during this period.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Schertz
The early-2000s subdivisions along FM 78 and Seguin Road were built with flex duct routed through unconditioned attics, and many used undersized returns that pull attic dust at high velocity. After twenty years of 150°F summers, the inner liner is often delaminating and shedding fiberglass into your air. We’ve cleaned 2004 and 2006 homes in Schertz where the duct interior looked like a construction site. Call (830) 402-5110 for a video inspection and written estimate.
Yes, because military-adjacent rentals turn over on 2-3 year PCS cycles and typically go 5-10 years without duct service. Short-term occupants don’t invest in HVAC upkeep, and landlords only address visible failures between tenants. This deferred-maintenance density is higher in Schertz than in Converse or Universal City. If you’re buying or renting near the base, a video inspection is the fastest way to verify what the previous occupants left in the system.
The builder’s HVAC subcontractor should have run the system during construction with temporary filters, then performed a post-construction cleaning of all supply and return runs before final inspection. In practice, many Schertz homes from the 2000s boom and even recent builds were handed over with drywall dust, wood shavings, and insulation debris still in the ducts. CleanRun includes construction debris removal as part of standard residential cleaning when found, with no additional charge beyond the written estimate. The photo record proves what was removed.
Yes. These are core service areas for our Schertz crews, including the subdivisions off Roy Richard Drive and the developments near Anton Schumann Park Campground. We know the specific duct configurations used by the regional builders who worked this corridor and can estimate cleaning scope accurately from address and build year. Call (830) 402-5110 to confirm availability.
We require written authorization from the property owner or property manager before cleaning any rental unit, per Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We can coordinate directly with landlords or management companies near JBSA-Randolph to obtain authorization and deliver the photo record to both tenant and owner. The tenant does not need to be present during work if access is arranged, though we prefer an adult on site to review the before-and-after documentation.
