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.

Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Round Rock Is Lost Creek’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been serving Lost Creek since our founding in 2013, and the pattern is unmistakable: the sprawling custom homes off Lost Creek Boulevard and around the Barton Creek corridor routinely need more intensive cleaning, more thorough documentation, and more honest pricing than the standard industry playbook allows. Our 52,000+ jobs across Texas have included hundreds in this zip code, and the feedback we hear most often is that homeowners here bought expensive houses and expect to see evidence of what was done inside their walls.
That evidence arrives as standard. Every visit concludes with a Documented Photo Record, inside every duct run, before and after. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival, operating under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing on every job, not mentioned in passing and forgotten. And if another company has already given you a written estimate, we’ll deliver a Free Second Opinion at no cost, our number next to theirs in black and white.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. No automated queue, no callback promise.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Lost Creek
Residential Duct Cleaning
Lost Creek’s housing stock is unusual for the Austin metro: large custom and semi-custom homes built from the mid-1970s through the mid-1990s, many with sprawling single-story footprints and complex duct layouts on slab foundations. These aren’t tract homes with standardized runs. A typical Lost Creek residence has longer duct paths, more elbows, and often multiple air handlers serving different wings. Our residential cleaning accounts for that complexity with per-system pricing and full source removal, not a quick register vacuum and a handshake.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
The commercial properties along Capital of Texas Highway and the professional offices near Lost Creek’s retail corridors serve a clientele that expects clean air without explanation. We handle commercial systems with the same documentation standard as our residential work: written scope, written price, photographed results. Negative-pressure extraction with HEPA-filtered collection protects occupied spaces during the work.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms, and in Lost Creek they work harder than almost anywhere in the metro. The May-through-October cooling season runs nearly continuously at the foot of these limestone hills, and that constant airflow deposits dust and debris deep in supply runs that short-cycle systems never reach. We clean every supply duct from the plenum (the main distribution box) to the register, with camera verification at key points.
Return Duct Cleaning
Here’s where Lost Creek diverges sharply from the rest of Austin. The return ducts, especially ground-floor returns in homes backing up to the cedar-covered ridgelines, trap a rust-orange cedar pollen sediment every December through February that homes even five miles east never see. Our Air Duct Cleaning in Lost Creek protocol prioritizes return duct inspection and cleaning because that’s where the distinctive local debris load concentrates. A cleaning that treats supply and return equally misses the actual problem.
Full System Cleaning
Most Lost Creek homes benefit from full system treatment: plenum, trunk lines, branch ducts, supply and return runs, plus the air handler cabinet. Given the dual seasonal stress here, surface cleaning of visible registers is inadequate. Full system cleaning with negative-pressure extraction and HEPA filtration addresses the accumulated load from both the relentless cooling season and the cedar fever months.
Video Inspection
We include video inspection as a standard component of our Lost Creek work, not an upsell. The original flex ductwork from the 1970s-90s build era has often degraded or partially collapsed after decades of Central Texas heat cycling. Camera inspection reveals this damage before cleaning begins, so we’re not blowing debris through a compromised duct or quoting Duct Repair & Sealing - Lost Creek work that won’t hold up. The footage becomes part of your documented job record.

We stock common parts and media for these brands to minimize turnaround on Lost Creek jobs.

Every tool and machine is manufacturer-rated for residential and light commercial ductwork, and we name what we’re using before we start, not after we’ve packed up.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Lost Creek Homes
- Multi-system homes quoted as single-system jobs. Many Lost Creek properties have two or three air handlers serving different wings or levels. A per-vent or flat-rate quote that assumes one system leaves homeowners paying double or triple the expected amount once the truck arrives. We price per system from the start, in writing.
- Collapsed flex ductwork hidden from view. The original flex ducts in 1970s-90s Lost Creek homes have often sagged or collapsed internally after decades of heat expansion and contraction. Camera inspection finds this before cleaning, not after a failed airflow test.
- Cedar pollen sediment concentrated in ground-floor returns. Homes near the Barton Creek corridor, especially those with returns on the lower level, accumulate that distinctive rust-orange film every February. Cleaning that skips return ducts or treats them lightly leaves the primary debris source untouched.
- Debris blown through compromised ducts during inadequate cleaning. Without negative-pressure containment and HEPA filtration, aggressive agitation in dirty systems can deposit debris into living spaces. Our equipment captures particulate at the source, not after it escapes.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Lost Creek
Your Lost Creek home sits directly on the Balcones Escarpment under dense Ashe juniper canopy, pulling in one of the highest airborne pollen loads in Texas during December through February, then running recirculated air conditioning nearly continuously from May through October. That combination creates two distinct heavy debris seasons per year, while flatter eastern Austin neighborhoods experience neither the cedar pollen surge nor the same cooling intensity. Most Lost Creek homeowners we serve schedule cleaning every 18-24 months, not the 3-5 year interval common elsewhere. Call (737) 259-5752 for an exact quote on your system count.
Yes, every CleanRun quote is priced per system, with the count verified during our initial walkthrough, not assumed from square footage. Lost Creek’s larger custom homes routinely have two or three air handlers, and Haven Standard Clause 1 requires a written price before work starts that reflects the actual scope. We’ll count your systems, measure your ductwork, and deliver a single written number. No per-vent math, no surprises.
If your home backs up to the cedar-covered ridgelines or has ground-floor return vents, you’ll likely see a rust-orange sediment coating the first several feet of return duct interiors, concentrated at elbows and transitions where airflow drops. This pattern is essentially absent in Austin homes even five miles east of the escarpment. Our February appointments in Lost Creek routinely document this film on camera, and our cleaning protocol targets these returns specifically. The after photos show bare metal, not orange dust.
Every CleanRun job delivers three concrete documents: a written scope and price signed before work begins, a Documented Photo Record showing the interior of every duct run before and after cleaning, and a written 365-Day Done Right Promise. For Lost Creek homes with multiple systems, each air handler’s ductwork is photographed and labeled separately. You receive these as standard deliverables, not upon request. If a company won’t show you the inside of your ducts, they didn’t document the work.
Significantly, yes, especially in Lost Creek where the dual seasonal loading deposits more debris than single-stress climates. Source removal cleaning with negative-pressure extraction removes the accumulated dust, pollen, and particulate that otherwise recirculates with every system cycle. Most Lost Creek customers report reduced dust on surfaces and less frequent filter clogging within two weeks of cleaning. The effect is most pronounced in homes where returns were heavily loaded with cedar pollen. Call (737) 259-5752 for a free estimate.
