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.

AfterGuardsman Air Duct Cleaning in Round Rock: What to Know First
We provide independent Guardsman air duct cleaning in Round Rock for residential and commercial systems, with most jobs completed in a single scheduled visit and a written price delivered before any panel comes off. A typical single-family Guardsman system runs $340-$620 depending on duct run count and plenum condition; we photograph every run before and after so you can verify the work against the price you agreed to. This page is for Guardsman owners in Round Rock neighborhoods like Stone Oak Ranch and Teravista who want to know what they’re actually paying for and what the camera found before a dollar gets quoted. Call (737) 259-5752 for a free estimate with no obligation.
How Guardsman Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Guardsman GSV Series supply registers clog at the vanes. The GSV’s fixed-vane design traps construction dust and cedar pollen common in newer Round Rock builds, creating a 2-3 inch mat that restricts airflow before it ever reaches the main trunk. We remove each register, photograph the buildup, and clean with negative-pressure extraction (suction that pulls debris toward the vacuum, not back into the room) rather than blowing it deeper into the duct run.
- Guardsman GRV return plenums sag at the flex connections. In Teravista homes built 2018-2022, we’ve found GRV return plenums where the flex duct has pulled away from the collar, creating a gap that draws attic air and insulation fragments into the system. We reseat and seal the connection, then document the repair with before-and-after photos under Haven Standard Clause 1’s written scope requirement.
- Guardsman GCM commercial mixing boxes accumulate biofilm in Round Rock’s humidity. The GCM’s internal blend baffles create low-velocity zones where condensation collects during shoulder seasons; we’ve pulled green-black buildup from these boxes that standard brush passes miss. Our process includes contact vacuuming with a Nikro HEPA system and photographic verification of each baffle surface.
- Guardsman GXF extended plenum systems develop debris waterfalls at reducer transitions. The GXF’s stepped plenum design creates ledges where debris cascades during initial construction and settles for years afterward. We run a camera to locate each transition, then use Rotobrush mechanical agitation followed by extraction - never compressed air alone, which can redistribute the load downstream.
- Guardsman GHP heat-pump coil cabinets leak bypass air when ducts are dirty. Restricted airflow from neglected ductwork forces the GHP’s variable-speed blower to overwork, eventually distorting the cabinet seal and pulling unconditioned air around the coil. We clean the full supply and return system, measure static pressure before and after, and include the readings in your written job record.
Our Guardsman Air Duct Cleaning Process
- 1
Camera inspection first. We run a scope through every main trunk line and document what we find. The camera goes in first. Then we talk.
- 2
Written price delivered. Based on the footage, we specify the exact scope - which duct runs, which plenums, whether the dryer vent is included - and give you one flat price per system. No per-vent math, no add-ons after arrival. Haven Standard Clause 1.
- 3
Equipment selection for your Guardsman line. We match Rotobrush or Nikro tools to your duct material and diameter; Guardsman metal trunk lines tolerate stiffer brushes than flex-core returns, and we adjust accordingly.
- 4
Negative-pressure extraction with photo documentation. Every run is brushed, vacuumed, and photographed before panel reinstallation. You receive the photo record as a standard deliverable, not an upsell.
- 5
Post-clean verification and written record. We run the camera again on representative runs, note static pressure improvement where applicable, and leave you with the scope, photos, and 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

What moves the price: duct run count (we count what exists, not what a coupon imagines), plenum accessibility, and whether the system has been cleaned before or requires first-pass heavy debris removal. We do not quote per-vent or advertise teaser rates that balloon on arrival. Call (737) 259-5752 for a free estimate - we’ll show you the camera footage and put the number in writing before you decide.

Every call is answered by a live person, and every estimate includes our Free Second Opinion if you have a competitor’s written quote in hand.
FAQs
No. Professional air duct cleaning performed by an independent service provider does not void a standard Guardsman product warranty, provided no components are altered or removed beyond manufacturer specifications. We document our scope in writing so you have a record if questions arise. Call (737) 259-5752 if you’d like us to review your warranty terms before scheduling.
For duct repairs, OEM Guardsman collars and dampers are often unnecessary; quality aftermarket parts from trade-recognized suppliers meet the same pressure ratings at lower cost and are what we specify in our written scope when applicable. We name the part source in your estimate so you can verify it.
You receive a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, before and after, as a standard deliverable on every CleanRun job - not a summary, not a promise, but timestamped images of your specific ductwork. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires this documentation; we have held the practice since our first job in 2013.
Every 3-5 years for most Round Rock homes, sooner if you’ve completed renovation, have pets that shed heavily, or live near active construction where Teravista and Stone Oak Ranch have seen significant build in recent years. Cedar pollen season in Central Texas also loads return systems faster than drier climates. Call (737) 259-5752 and we’ll run the camera to tell you where your system actually stands.
Yes. We complete partial jobs regularly, and we begin with our own camera inspection to verify what remains versus what was disturbed. We put the remaining scope and price in writing before continuing, and we include documentation of any damage from prior work in your job record.
