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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning in Hornsby Bend, TX
HVAC cleaning in Hornsby Bend typically runs $280-$520 for a whole-system job, with most homes needing service every 18-24 months rather than the standard 3-5 year interval. The combination of aging rural housing stock, Colorado River floodplain humidity, and proximity to the biosolids management plant creates a uniquely aggressive environment for duct contamination. We schedule crews from our Austin office and dispatch them to Hornsby Bend with equipment sized for both farmhouse basements and manufactured-home crawl spaces. Call (737) 259-5752 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Why Hornsby Bend Homes Are Different
Hornsby Bend sits in a humidity pocket that is measurably wetter than Austin’s western hills. The Colorado River bottomland traps moisture against aging ductwork, accelerating mold colonization inside fiberglass duct board and at flex-duct connections. Homes here were built largely between the 1970s and 1990s, with many manufactured homes using undersized, kinked duct runs that collect debris and pull in unfiltered outdoor air.
The biosolids plant adjacent to the community releases organic aerosols and ammonia-carrying dust that settle into return-air systems. Technicians regularly find a dark, fine-grained organic residue coating grilles and duct interiors. Homeowners who have lived here for years often normalize the faint organic odor until a cleaning reveals its source. This bioorganic load clogs filters ahead of schedule and degrades indoor air quality in ways standard suburban cleaning intervals do not address.
Our Main Hornsby Bend Services
Homeowners in Hornsby Bend call us most often for these three services, each documented with before-and-after photos and a written price before work starts.
Air Duct Cleaning in Hornsby Bend
We clean every duct run with negative-pressure extraction, photographing the interior before and after. In Hornsby Bend, this means addressing the organic residue and river-bottomland dust that standard equipment often misses. Jobs include the full plenum, main trunk lines, and branch runs to each register. Air Duct Cleaning in Hornsby Bend is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hornsby Bend
Dryer vents in rural homes with long exterior runs are especially prone to lint accumulation mixed with the area’s fine organic dust. We clean the full vent path from appliance to termination, measuring airflow before and after. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hornsby Bend reduces fire risk and drying time.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Hornsby Bend
Aging flex-duct and fiberglass board in Hornsby Bend’s housing stock crack, sag, and separate at connections. We repair or replace damaged sections and seal leaks with mastic, not tape. Duct Repair & Sealing in Hornsby Bend stops outdoor air infiltration and restores system efficiency.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Hornsby Bend
HVAC cleaning in Hornsby Bend addresses the full air-handling system, not just the ducts. The Colorado River floodplain’s persistent humidity accelerates mold and mildew on evaporator coils and inside air handlers, while the bioorganic particulate load from the nearby biosolids plant coats blower assemblies and heat exchangers far faster than in higher, drier terrain. HVAC Cleaning from CleanRun includes a written scope and price before any panel is removed, plus a Documented Photo Record of every component cleaned.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or a musty smell when the AC cycles on in Hornsby Bend’s humid months.
What it costs in Hornsby Bend
Evaporator coil cleaning in Hornsby Bend typically runs $180-$340.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the fins before and after.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration noise from the air handler, uneven heating or cooling, or visible dust puffing from registers when the system starts.
What it costs in Hornsby Bend
Blower assembly cleaning in Hornsby Bend typically runs $160-$290.
How we do it
We remove the blower housing, clean the wheel and motor housing with compressed air and contact cleaner, balance the assembly, and document with photos.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Hornsby Bend
| Item | Typical range in Hornsby Bend |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $160-$290 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning (coil, blower, ducts) | $280-$520 |
How often should HVAC cleaning happen in Hornsby Bend?
Every 18-24 months for most Hornsby Bend homes, due to the bioorganic dust load and floodplain humidity. Homes within a mile of the biosolids plant may need annual coil and blower attention. Call (737) 259-5752 to schedule an inspection.
Does HVAC cleaning remove the organic smell?
Yes, when the odor originates in the system. Cleaning the coil, blower, and ductwork removes the residue causing the smell. If the source is external, we note that in the written report.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Hornsby Bend
Air quality and sanitizing in Hornsby Bend targets the mold, bacteria, and persistent organic odors that thrive in the Colorado River bottomland’s elevated humidity and accelerated by biosolids-plant aerosols. The 1970s-1990s housing stock here often lacks modern filtration, allowing contaminants to recirculate through degraded duct board and unsealed connections. Air Quality & Sanitizing from CleanRun delivers a written treatment plan and photographic proof of results.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible black or green growth on registers, a musty smell that intensifies when the AC runs, or recent water intrusion in the crawl space.
What it costs in Hornsby Bend
Mold treatment in Hornsby Bend typically runs $220-$450 depending on the number of duct runs affected.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system, treat the plenum and trunk lines with contact spray, and verify with before-and-after photos.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold despite cleaning, chronic allergy symptoms indoors, or a system located in a damp crawl space or basement.
What it costs in Hornsby Bend
UV light installation in Hornsby Bend typically runs $380-$620 including the lamp and electrical connection.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV-C lamp in the supply plenum, wire it to the air handler’s 24-volt circuit, and show the customer the installation photo.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Hornsby Bend
| Item | Typical range in Hornsby Bend |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $220-$450 |
| UV light installation | $380-$620 |
| Bacteria sanitizing with antimicrobial | $180-$320 |
Will sanitizing remove the biosolids-plant odor?
It reduces or eliminates the odor when the source is inside the duct system. For external sources, we identify the entry point and recommend sealing or filtration upgrades. Call (737) 259-5752 for a written assessment.
Is UV light worth it in Hornsby Bend’s humidity?
Yes, for homes with recurrent mold or damp crawl spaces. The lamp inhibits growth on the coil and in the plenum between cleanings.
