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.

AfterRotobrush Air Quality & Sanitizing in Schertz: What to Know First
CleanRun provides independent Rotobrush air quality and sanitizing service in Schertz, with most jobs scheduled within a few business days and completed in a single visit. We deliver a written price before any work starts, every time, and back it with a 365-Day Done Right Promise documented on every invoice. Typical Rotobrush sanitizing and air quality work in Schertz runs $340-$780 depending on system configuration and whether we’re treating existing contamination or installing preventive UV or filtration equipment.
This page is for Schertz homeowners who own a Rotobrush air handling or duct cleaning unit and need mold treatment, bacteria sanitizing, odor removal, UV light installation, air purifier installation, or allergen reduction. If your Rotobrush system is circulating musty air, triggering allergies, or showing visible growth at the plenum (the main distribution box where all duct runs connect), we can diagnose it and show you exactly what’s inside before you decide on treatment. Call (830) 402-5110 for a free estimate.
How Rotobrush Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Rotobrush BrushBeast and BDvac series: moisture accumulation in the vacuum collection chamber. These units use high-velocity negative-pressure extraction (suction that pulls debris through the hose into a sealed drum), but in Schertz’s humid shoulder seasons, condensation can pool in the lower collection chamber if the drain port clogs with fine particulate. We disassemble the chamber, borescope the internal seams for biofilm growth, and treat with an EPA-registered sanitizer before reassembly. If the moisture has migrated into connected ductwork, we extend treatment to the affected duct runs.
- Rotobrush aiR+ XP and BEAST series: HEPA filtration bypass due to gasket fatigue. The HEPA cartridge seal on these units compresses over time, especially in Texas heat cycles where the unit sits in an unconditioned garage between jobs. Unfiltered air bypasses the cartridge and re-enters the living space. We inspect gasket integrity with a smoke pencil, replace with OEM or matched aftermarket gaskets, and pressure-test the seal before returning the unit to service.
- Rotobrush duct cleaning systems: cross-contamination between supply and return sides. The flexible brush assemblies on Rotobrush duct cleaners can harbor organic material in the bristle matrix if not properly sanitized between jobs. When the same brush head moves from a mold-affected return to a clean supply trunk, it transports spores. We run a separate brush protocol on contaminated systems, and we photograph the bristle condition before and after sanitizing treatment - part of our standard Documented Photo Record.
- Rotobrush air handler connections: microbial growth at the plenum interface. In Schertz, we regularly see spring and fall conditions where outdoor humidity hits 80% while indoor cooling is still running. The plenum, where the Rotobrush unit or connected air handler meets the main trunk, creates a cold surface that condenses moisture. Dust settles, mold follows. We treat the plenum interior with a non-residual antimicrobial, install a UV-C lamp at the coil if the configuration allows, and seal any gaps in the plenum casing that let attic air infiltrate.
- Rotobrush portable units: odor retention in vacuum hoses. The corrugated vacuum hoses on portable Rotobrush systems trap organic odors in the ribbed interior, particularly after jobs involving rodent debris or heavy pollen loads. Standard cleaning doesn’t reach the rib valleys. We replace the hose when saturation is advanced, or run an enzymatic treatment followed by forced-air drying when the hose is structurally sound. The customer sees the hose interior on camera before we decide.
Our Rotobrush Air Quality & Sanitizing Process
- 1
Written price delivered first. We inspect the Rotobrush unit and connected ductwork with a borescope camera, then deliver a written scope and price before any panel comes off. Haven Standard Clause 1: no exceptions.
- 2
Documented Photo Record initiated. We photograph every duct run interior, the plenum, and the Rotobrush unit’s filtration and collection components. These images become part of the job record the customer receives.
- 3
Contamination assessment and treatment selection. Based on what the camera shows - mold species, bacteria loading, particulate depth, or odor source - we select the appropriate sanitizer, UV installation, or filtration upgrade. We explain the choice in plain language, including why OEM Rotobrush parts or quality aftermarket equivalents are specified.
- 4
Treatment execution with protective protocols. Registers (the visible vent covers in each room) are sealed during treatment to prevent cross-contamination. Negative-pressure extraction runs continuously to capture airborne particulate. UV installations are positioned for direct line-of-sight to the coil or plenum surface, not wherever is convenient.
- 5
Post-treatment verification and photo closeout. We re-camera every treated duct run, test the Rotobrush unit’s suction and seal integrity, and deliver the complete photo record to the customer. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is documented on the final invoice.
- 6
Cleanup and walkthrough. We leave the work area as found, review the photo record with the homeowner, and explain any maintenance intervals or filter changes specific to their Rotobrush configuration.
BeforeAfterWhat Rotobrush Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Schertz
These are honest ranges for Rotobrush-specific work we perform in Schertz. Every job gets a written price before work starts.
| Service | Typical Range | What Moves the Price |
|---|---|---|
| Mold or bacteria sanitizing, single system | $340-$520 | Number of duct runs, extent of plenum contamination, accessibility |
| Odor removal with enzymatic treatment | $280-$440 | Source location (duct vs. unit), hose replacement needed |
| UV-C lamp installation | $380-$620 | Lamp wattage, single vs. dual-lamp configuration, electrical routing |
| Air purifier installation (whole-house) | $580-$780 | Unit capacity, duct modification required, filtration grade |
| Allergen reduction package | $420-$640 | HEPA upgrade, sanitizer, UV - combined scope |
Factors that increase price: systems with more than 12 duct runs, contamination that has reached the evaporator coil requiring coil access, or Rotobrush units with degraded seals requiring gasket replacement before sanitizing is effective. We show you exactly what we found before you commit. Call (830) 402-5110 for a free estimate.
Why Schertz Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Schertz for Rotobrush Work
We’ve been working Schertz long enough to know the housing stock - the newer builds off Roy Richard Drive with flex duct that flexes too tight at the elbows, and the older homes near Schertz Parkway where the original ductwork hasn’t been opened since the first owner moved in. Tomas Reyes and our crew have pulled Rotobrush units from both, and we’ve learned that the same model can fail differently depending on how the house breathes.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise is written on every invoice, not mentioned in passing. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems, so when a Rotobrush unit is connected to a larger HVAC configuration, we don’t guess at the interaction between components. The before photo does the talking. I just bring the camera.
FAQs
No, professional sanitizing does not void the Rotobrush warranty when performed by a qualified technician using manufacturer-compatible methods. We document our process and materials so you have a record if warranty questions arise later. As an independent Rotobrush service provider, we have no affiliation with the manufacturer, but we follow service protocols that preserve warranty eligibility. Call (830) 402-5110 if you have concerns about a specific unit.
Repair is usually the better value if the motor and brush assembly are sound and the issue is contamination, gasket failure, or hose degradation. Replacement makes more sense when the unit has repeated electrical faults, the collection chamber is cracked, or repair costs exceed 60% of replacement. We show you the borescope images and give you both numbers in writing before you decide. Call (830) 402-5110 for a free assessment.
You receive our Documented Photo Record showing every duct run before and after treatment, plus images of the Rotobrush unit’s internal components. We also note the sanitizer batch number and application time on your written invoice. If you want, we can re-camera any specific run while you’re present. Haven Standard Clause 5 requires verifiable documentation on every job.
Most single-system sanitizing jobs take 3-5 hours from arrival to cleanup. UV installations add 1-2 hours for electrical routing and testing. We schedule a full day block so we’re not rushing the documentation or the final verification. You’ll know the expected duration when you receive your written price.
The $79-$129 coupon model typically covers a brief vacuuming of accessible registers, not full-system sanitizing with documented before-and-after photography. Those operators often discover “additional problems” once the truck is in your driveway. We deliver one flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts, with no per-vent add-ons. Our equipment roster - Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman - is professional-grade and independently verifiable. Call (830) 402-5110 and we’ll put our written estimate next to any competitor’s.
