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.

We’ve been working in Converse since 2013, and the housing stock here tells its own story. The 1980s-2000s tract homes that dominate ZIP codes 78218 and 78244 were built to absorb Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph’s rotating military population. Frequent PCS moves mean these properties change hands every 2-3 years with almost no consistent HVAC upkeep. Original flex-duct systems now 25-40 years old sit in unconditioned attics where summer temperatures routinely exceed 130-140°F, degrading duct liner and creating micro-tears that pull in attic insulation particles. Layered on top: South Texas cedar and oak pollen, caliche dust from still-expanding subdivisions, and pet dander from successive families. The result is duct contamination that accumulates faster here than in more settled urban neighborhoods inside Loop 410.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Schertz Is Converse’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Our reputation in Converse is built on documentation, not promises. Every job starts with a written price under Haven Standard Clause 1 and ends with a photo record of every duct run - the inside of your plenum (the main distribution box), every supply branch, every return trunk, photographed before agitation and after HEPA extraction. Customers in Summerhill and along Perrin Beitel Road have come to expect this standard because they’ve experienced the alternative: a shop-vac hose pushed through a register, thirty minutes of noise, and no proof anything changed.
We answer calls with live people, 24/7, and our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival - Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Response time to Converse is same-day scheduling for most requests, with crews carrying Rotobrush agitation systems and Nikro negative-pressure units sized for the flex-duct layouts common here. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every Converse job in writing, not as a marketing claim subject to manager approval.
Our Free Second Opinion policy means any Converse homeowner with a competitor’s written estimate can bring it to us. We’ll put our number next to it, line by line, and explain where the scope differs. No charge.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Converse
Residential Duct Cleaning
Converse’s single-story slab homes with fiberglass flex duct runs laid in unconditioned attics present a specific challenge: the duct liner degrades from sustained heat exposure, creating micro-tears that standard cleaning misses entirely. Our residential service includes video inspection of accessible trunk lines before any agitation begins. We document the condition of the plenum, each supply run, and each return branch with dated photographs. Negative-pressure extraction using Abatement Technologies HEPA equipment follows Rotobrush mechanical agitation. The deliverable: a written scope, a written price agreed before work started, and a photo record showing what was inside your ducts.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Commercial properties near the North Pan Am Expressway corridor and the retail strips serving Randolph AFB personnel require scheduling that respects operating hours. We coordinate after-hours and weekend access for Converse office suites, medical waiting rooms, and service businesses where employee and customer exposure to accumulated duct debris is a liability concern. Our commercial crews scale equipment to the building’s HVAC tonnage and ductwork material - galvanized steel trunk lines in larger builds require different agitation heads than residential flex duct. Written scope, written price, documented results: the same standard applied to our residential work.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from your air handler to each room register. In Converse homes, these runs are typically 6-inch flex duct routed through attic spaces, and they’re where we most often find the stratified contamination unique to high-turnover military-adjacent communities: distinct layers of pet hair from multiple prior families, compressed caliche dust from nearby construction, and pollen deposits driven deep by nearly year-round system operation. We clean each supply run individually, seal accessible micro-tears with mastic or foil tape, and photograph the interior before and after. The register itself is removed, cleaned, and reinstalled.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler for reconditioning. In Converse’s older tract homes, return trunks are often sheet-metal or ductboard constructions with filter slots that have been jammed with off-size filters for decades, bypassing filtration and loading the return path with debris. Our return duct service includes filter-slot assessment, trunk-line video inspection, and negative-pressure cleaning of the entire return path. We note filter compatibility recommendations in the written job record - a detail that prevents the same contamination cycle from repeating.
Full System Cleaning
Full system cleaning in Converse addresses the complete air distribution network: supply trunks, supply branches, return trunks, return branches, plenum, and accessible coil surfaces. This is the service we recommend for homes that have never had professional duct cleaning, which describes a significant portion of Converse’s 1980s-2000s housing stock. The package includes video inspection, mechanical agitation with Rotobrush equipment, negative-pressure HEPA extraction, and the complete documented photo record. Written price before work starts, as always.
Video Inspection
Video inspection is not an upsell at CleanRun - it’s a diagnostic tool we use to determine whether cleaning is appropriate and what scope is necessary. In Converse, where 25-40 year old flex duct may have degraded beyond the point where cleaning alone is sufficient, the camera shows what a flashlight cannot: collapsed sections, disconnected joints, and micro-tears that have pulled in attic insulation. We record findings and include them in the written estimate. If the ductwork needs repair or replacement before cleaning is worthwhile, we’ll say so directly.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Converse
CleanRun crews carry professional-grade equipment from trade-recognized manufacturers: Rotobrush for mechanical agitation in residential flex duct, Nikro for negative-pressure extraction systems, and Honeywell and Aprilaire media filters and air-cleaning components for post-service installation where filtration upgrades are indicated. We stock common filter sizes and register hardware for Converse’s predominant housing types, minimizing return trips for standard replacement items. Equipment specifications are available on request - we encourage customers to verify what we’re using before agreeing to any scope of work.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Converse Homes
- Stratified biological contamination in flex duct from multiple prior owners. In Summerhill subdivisions and other ZIP 78244 neighborhoods, we regularly pull flex sections containing three or more distinct bands of pet hair and dander from successive military families, with no cleaning between PCS handoffs. The camera makes this visible; standard register-level cleaning does not.
- Micro-tears from sustained attic heat exposure pulling in insulation fibers. Converse’s unconditioned attics routinely reach 130-140°F in summer, degrading the fiberglass liner of original flex duct. These tears draw cellulose or fiberglass insulation into the airstream, where it circulates through living spaces. Video inspection identifies them; cleaning without repair leaves the pathway open.
- Shared-stack dryer vent configurations in townhome clusters. In denser Summerhill townhome developments, dryer vents share tight vertical stacks between units. Technicians working quickly sometimes skip the full dryer vent run, leaving lint accumulation that the EPA identifies as the leading cause of home dryer fires. Our crews verify complete vent-path cleaning, including shared-stack access where building management coordinates entry.
- Restricted equipment access on narrow subdivision streets. Streets off Nacogdoches Road in newer and infill developments often lack parking for full-size negative-pressure vans. Rushed crews arrive with undersized portable units that fail to achieve proper source removal in long flex-duct runs. CleanRun dispatches equipment scaled to the job, and we confirm access requirements during scheduling.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Converse
PCS turnover means many Converse homes change occupants every 2-3 years with no consistent HVAC maintenance between families, so contamination accumulates across multiple ownership cycles rather than being managed by a single long-term owner. The original flex-duct systems in these 1980s-2000s builds are now 25-40 years old, and caliche dust from ongoing construction on the east side adds a mineral load not seen in more settled neighborhoods. Call (830) 402-5110 for a free estimate - we’ll show you what the camera sees.
Yes, with building management or neighbor coordination to access the full vertical stack. Our crews verify complete path cleaning from the dryer connection through the exterior termination; partial cleaning of shared stacks leaves lint accumulation that creates fire risk. The written scope notes any access limitations encountered. Call (830) 402-5110 to schedule - we coordinate multi-unit access when needed.
Parking for a standard service van within 75 feet of the electrical panel, clear attic access (typically a hallway or closet hatch), and working power. Narrow streets off Nacogdoches Road sometimes require advance coordination for equipment placement. We confirm access requirements during scheduling, not upon arrival. Call (830) 402-5110 and we’ll walk through your specific situation.
Visible fiberglass or cellulose insulation particles blowing from registers, uneven cooling between rooms, and musty odors that persist after filter changes are common indicators. Video inspection is the definitive method - the camera shows liner degradation, tears, and disconnected joints that visual inspection from the register cannot. CleanRun includes video findings in every written estimate. Call (830) 402-5110 to schedule an inspection.
Yes - pre-sale duct cleaning with a documented photo record differentiates your listing in a market where buyers are increasingly requesting HVAC maintenance histories. For military sellers facing tight PCS timelines, a single-visit full system cleaning with written deliverables provides transferable documentation that supports asking price and reduces buyer negotiation leverage on inspection findings. Call (830) 402-5110 for scheduling that accommodates your move-out date.
