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 Wells Branch, TX
HVAC cleaning in Wells Branch typically addresses evaporator coils and blower assemblies clogged with 35-45 years of accumulated debris, with most whole-system jobs running $380-$620 for a standard single-family home. We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, and our crews work the 1980s-era subdivisions here regularly - the uniform housing stock means we know what to expect before we park the truck. If you’re ready to schedule, call (737) 259-5752 and we’ll put a written price in your hand before any panel comes off.
Why Wells Branch Homes Are Different
Wells Branch was developed almost entirely as a master-planned community during the 1980s, meaning the vast majority of its single-family homes are now working with original or first-generation flex ductwork that is 35-45 years old - well past typical service life. This uniform construction era, combined with Central Texas’s punishing Ashe juniper (cedar) pollen season that saturates the greater Austin corridor each winter, means Wells Branch ducts accumulate decades of allergen-laden debris that residents recirculate every heating and cooling cycle.
The community sits squarely in the cedar corridor, where pollen loads rank among the heaviest recorded in North America each December through February, followed by a high-intensity oak surge in spring - both drawn directly into return-air intakes. Summer attic temperatures here regularly exceed 140°F, accelerating breakdown of aging flex-duct insulation and creating conditions for mold colonization whenever moisture enters the system. Technicians working these subdivisions routinely discover flex duct inner liners have partially collapsed or pulled free from plenum boots - a failure mode invisible from the register but consistent across this same-age housing stock.
Our Main Wells Branch Services
These are the three services Wells Branch homeowners call us about most often.
Air Duct Cleaning in Wells Branch
We clean every duct run with negative-pressure extraction and rotary brush contact, photographing the interior before and after so you can see the difference between real work and vacuum noise. In Wells Branch, we expect to find cedar pollen residue layered with ordinary household dust in returns that haven’t been opened since the Reagan administration. Air Duct Cleaning in Wells Branch includes our standard documented photo record on every visit.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wells Branch
Dryer vent blockages in these 1980s homes often involve original foil or vinyl transition ducts that have sagged or kinked behind the appliance, creating lint traps the homeowner can’t see. We run a rotary brush through the full length and measure airflow before and after. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wells Branch carries the same written-price guarantee and photo documentation.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Wells Branch
Given the age of the flex ductwork here, we frequently arrive for a cleaning and find separated joints, collapsed inner liners, or degraded insulation that makes sealing pointless until repair is done. We quote repair separately with a written scope, never as a surprise add-on. Duct Repair & Sealing in Wells Branch is often the right next step after inspection.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Wells Branch
HVAC cleaning in Wells Branch means addressing components that have been circulating cedar pollen, oak dust, and 35-45 years of accumulated debris through original flex ductwork. The evaporator coil in your attic air handler is typically coated with a mat of fine particulate that restricts airflow and drives up energy bills, while the blower wheel throws that same debris back into the supply stream every cycle. HVAC Cleaning from CleanRun includes full photo documentation of each component before and after, with your written price delivered before we touch a screw.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from registers, or cooling that can’t keep up during August afternoons in Wells Branch.
What it costs in Wells Branch
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$340 as a standalone service, or $280-$480 when bundled with full HVAC cleaning.
How we do it
We remove the coil access panel, apply foaming cleaner formulated for aluminum fins, rinse with low-pressure water capture, and photograph the before and after condition for your job record.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Dust puffing from registers at startup, uneven heating or cooling between rooms, or a blower motor running louder than you remember.
What it costs in Wells Branch
Blower assembly cleaning typically runs $160-$290 alone, or $260-$440 as part of complete HVAC cleaning.
How we do it
We remove the blower housing, clean the wheel vanes with compressed air and contact brushes, vacuum the motor and capacitor area, and bench-test balance before reassembly.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Wells Branch
| Item | Typical range in Wells Branch |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning (standalone) | $180-$340 |
| Blower cleaning (standalone) | $160-$290 |
| Full HVAC cleaning (coil + blower + air handler cabinet) | $380-$620 |
How do I know my HVAC components are actually dirty?
We photograph every component before touching it - the evaporator coil, blower wheel, and plenum interior - and show you the images before quoting any work. If it’s clean, we’ll tell you.
Can HVAC cleaning fix my high summer electric bills?
A dirty coil or blower can raise energy use 15-30% by restricting airflow; cleaning restores designed efficiency, though we won’t promise dollar savings we can’t verify. Call (737) 259-5752 for a free estimate.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Wells Branch
Air quality work in Wells Branch addresses what 35-45 years of cedar pollen, oak dust, and 140°F attic temperatures have left growing inside your ductwork. The same flex-duct degradation that collapses inner liners also creates trapped moisture pockets where mold colonizes, and the pollen load here provides organic material that feeds bacterial growth on wet surfaces. Air Quality & Sanitizing from CleanRun targets these biological contaminants with application-specific treatments, documented with before-and-after photos and a written scope under Haven Standard Clause 1.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor when the system cycles, visible spotting on register faces, or recent water intrusion into the attic ductwork.
What it costs in Wells Branch
Spot mold treatment runs $240-$420 for localized application; whole-system treatment ranges $480-$780 depending on duct count and contamination extent.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the full duct system using fogging equipment, with dwell time per manufacturer specification, then HEPA-vacuum dead material and photograph treated surfaces.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold after treatment, chronic allergy symptoms that spike when the system runs, or a home in Wells Branch with known moisture issues in the attic.
What it costs in Wells Branch
UV-C lamp installation at the evaporator coil runs $340-$580 including hardware and electrical connection to the air handler.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV lamp upstream of the coil, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and verify intensity with a meter reading recorded on your job documentation.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Wells Branch
| Item | Typical range in Wells Branch |
|---|---|
| Spot mold treatment (localized) | $240-$420 |
| Whole-system mold treatment | $480-$780 |
| UV light installation (coil-mounted) | $340-$580 |
Is the chemical treatment safe for my kids and pets?
We use EPA-registered products with specified re-entry times, typically 2-4 hours after application; your written scope includes the exact product and dwell time used. Call (737) 259-5752 to discuss sensitivities before we schedule.
How do I know the mold is actually gone?
We photograph treated duct surfaces after cleaning and again after treatment; the photo record is yours to keep, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers return visits if visible mold recurs in treated areas.
