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 Duct Repair & Sealing in Schertz: What to Know First
We provide independent Rotobrush duct repair and sealing in Schertz, TX, with most jobs completed in a single scheduled visit and a written price delivered before any panel comes off. As an independent Rotobrush service provider, we carry OEM and quality aftermarket parts for the product lines that show up most often in this market, and we warranty our workmanship under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. This page is for homeowners who already own a Rotobrush air duct cleaning system and need the connected ductwork sealed, repaired, or brought back to spec. Call (830) 402-5110 for a free estimate with a written number you can compare.
How Rotobrush Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Beast Series brush motor housing seal degradation. The Beast 117 and Beast 127 units we see in Schertz generate enough vibration at the brush head to gradually loosen the plenum connection seal where the machine mates to the duct run. We remove the housing, inspect the gasket surface for scoring, and install a fresh silicone-composite seal rated for the RPM range. If the flange is warped, we machine-flat or replace it rather than double-gasketing.
- BrushBeast Pro flex-duct adapter wear at the collar. The Pro’s quick-connect collar sees repeated thermal cycling in Texas attics, and the ABS plastic fatigues faster here than in cooler climates. We replace with a reinforced nylon aftermarket collar where the OEM part is backordered, or machine a brass-threaded insert if the homeowner prefers OEM compatibility. Both carry the same 365-day guarantee.
- Rotobrush aiR+ negative-pressure drop at long duct runs. The aiR+ series uses a smaller-diameter vacuum hose than the Beast line, and in Schertz’s 2,400-plus square foot builds off Roy Richard Drive, we’ve measured pressure drops exceeding 15% at the far register. We seal trunk-line leaks with mastic and fiberglass mesh, then balance the run with a manual damper adjustment rather than upselling equipment the homeowner doesn’t need.
- Beast 117 cable sheath fraying at the first elbow. The 117’s push cable runs through a 90-degree entry point on most standard configurations; after roughly 400 hours of runtime, the sheath thins and metal fibers contaminate the duct. We extract the cable, borescope the full run for fiber debris, and install a stainless-sheath replacement with a revised entry angle that reduces wear.
- aiR+ and BrushBeast battery-box seal failure in humid months. Schertz’s spring humidity peaks above 80% routinely, and we’ve opened battery compartments showing corrosion on the contact plate that the owner never noticed. We clean the contacts, apply dielectric grease, and replace the factory gasket with a closed-cell foam seal rated for Gulf Coast moisture loads.
Our Rotobrush Duct Repair & Sealing Process
- 1
Written price first. We inspect the Rotobrush unit and connected ductwork, then deliver a fixed price in writing before any work begins. Haven Standard Clause 1: no exceptions.
- 2
Borescope documentation. Our technician photographs the interior of every duct run with a 1080p borescope, noting debris load, seal condition, and any mechanical damage. The customer sees these images before we proceed.
- 3
Parts decision with options. We stock OEM Rotobrush seals, collars, and cables, plus quality aftermarket equivalents from Guardsman and Abatement Technologies. We explain the trade-off for each and let the homeowner choose.
- 4
Repair and seal. We complete the mechanical repair, then seal all accessible joints with mastic sealant and fiberglass mesh. Flex duct gets new compression sleeves; metal trunk lines get painted mastic rated for the temperature range.
- 5
Pressure verification. We run a negative-pressure test across the full system and compare to manufacturer spec. The numbers go on the job record.
- 6
Photo record delivery. Before-and-after images of every run, plus the pressure test result, are delivered as a standard deliverable. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is activated in writing.

Why Schertz Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Schertz for Rotobrush Work
We’ve been working the Schertz area long enough to know which Rotobrush configurations the local builders installed, and which corners they cut. Tomas Reyes, our owner and lead technician, started pulling flex duct in Queens two decades ago and has handled every generation of Rotobrush equipment since the company entered the residential market. The before photo does the talking. I just bring the camera.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier integrated systems when the Rotobrush connects to a larger HVAC configuration. Every job since 2013 has ended with a Documented Photo Record and a written price that matched the final invoice. If the work is not right, we make it right. That’s in writing, not a policy subject to manager approval.
FAQs
No. Rotobrush’s warranty covers the machine itself, not the attached ductwork, and our repairs to your HVAC ducts do not affect that coverage. We are an independent Rotobrush service provider, not an authorized dealer, and we document every modification for your records. Call (830) 402-5110 if you’d like us to review your warranty terms before scheduling.
Replace the unit only if the motor or vacuum blower has failed and repair exceeds 60% of replacement cost. In most Schertz homes we inspect, the Rotobrush machine is functional and the ductwork is the problem. We will tell you directly if the unit itself is sound. Our free second opinion applies to any written estimate you’ve received elsewhere.
We stock both. OEM seals and cables are available for the Beast, BrushBeast Pro, and aiR+ series. When Rotobrush backorders a part, which happens most often with the Pro’s collar assembly, we use quality aftermarket components from Guardsman or Abatement Technologies and note the substitution on your written scope. Both carry the same 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Most single-system jobs are completed in four to six hours. A plenum seal replacement might run two hours; full trunk-line sealing with multiple flex duct repairs takes longer. We schedule by the job, not by the hour, so the price does not change if we encounter an unexpected elbow configuration.
We deliver a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, before and after, plus the negative-pressure test result. These are standard deliverables, not add-ons. If a competitor’s quote does not include photographic documentation, ask why. Call (830) 402-5110 and we’ll put our scope in writing next to theirs.
