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 Air Quality & Sanitizing in Katy: What to Know First
CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning provides independent Rotobrush air quality and sanitizing service in Katy, TX, with written pricing delivered before any work begins and a documented photo record of every duct run included as standard. Most Rotobrush sanitizing and air quality jobs in the Katy area are completed in a single scheduled visit, with scope and price agreed in writing upfront - no per-vent add-ons, no post-arrival surprises. This page is for homeowners who already own Rotobrush equipment and need mold treatment, bacteria sanitizing, odor removal, UV light installation, air purifier installation, or allergen reduction performed by technicians who understand the brand’s specific configurations. Call (346) 666-7165 for a free estimate.
How Rotobrush Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Rotobrush BrushBeast and BrushBeast HD - agitator motor seal degradation in humid Katy conditions. The brush motor housing on Beast-series units isn’t fully sealed against the Gulf Coast moisture that settles into Katy garages and utility closets from April through October. We’ve pulled units where the seal has allowed condensation to wick into the motor cavity, producing a musty odor that recirculates through the ductwork even after the ducts themselves are clean. We replace the seal with a marine-grade silicone gasket, treat the housing with a non-corrosive antimicrobial, and verify the repair with a post-service photo record.
- Rotobrush AIr+ and AIr+ Pro - HEPA media bypass due to filter frame warping. The plastic filter frames on AIr+ series units can distort after repeated heat cycles in unconditioned Katy attics, creating gaps where unfiltered air bypasses the HEPA stage. The camera shows the gap before we touch a screw. We install a reinforced aluminum-frame replacement or, when the housing permits, retrofit with an Abatement Technologies HEPA module that maintains the OEM airflow spec without the thermal deformation issue.
- Rotobrush DuctMaster - UV lamp ballast failure after 18-24 months of continuous operation. The OEM ballast on DuctMaster UV installations isn’t rated for the voltage fluctuation common in Katy’s newer subdivisions, particularly west of the Grand Parkway where utility infrastructure is still stabilizing. We replace with a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV ballast matched to local voltage patterns, and we document the lamp output with a UV meter reading included in your job record.
- Rotobrush Breeze and Breeze Ultra - odor recurrence due to insufficient contact time with sanitizing agents. These compact units move air fast, which is the point, but the stock spray application on early Breeze models can leave wet spots in the plenum that dry before the antimicrobial achieves full efficacy. We slow the cycle, apply Guardsman-sourced sanitizer as a fine mist rather than a stream, and extend dwell time per manufacturer spec - the difference shows in the after photo.
- Rotobrush Classic and Classic II - debris accumulation in the vacuum relief port causing pressure imbalance. The relief port on Classic-series machines sits low and collects whatever the brush kicks up first. In Katy homes with post-2020 construction, that’s often drywall dust and joint compound grit from the original build-out. We clear the port, verify negative-pressure extraction at the register with a manometer, and photograph the reading for the job record. The before photo does the talking. Everything after that is just paperwork.
Our Rotobrush Air Quality & Sanitizing Process
- 1
Written estimate delivered before scheduling. We scope the job by phone or in-person assessment, then provide a fixed price in writing under Haven Standard Clause 1. No “call for a quote” - the quote arrives as a document you can compare.
- 2
Pre-service photo documentation. Our technician photographs the interior of every accessible duct run with a borescope before touching equipment, so you see what we see: mold staining, debris load, pest evidence, or a clean system that doesn’t need service.
- 3
Rotobrush-specific diagnostic. We identify your model series, check for known failure modes (seal condition, filter frame integrity, ballast voltage output, UV lamp intensity), and flag any OEM-vs-aftermarket parts decision for your approval before installation.
- 4
Service execution with trade-verified technique. Sanitizing agent selection and application method matched to your Rotobrush airflow spec; UV or purifier install with post-mount output verification; all work performed by background-checked, uniformed technicians operating under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews.
- 5
Post-service testing and photo record delivery. We verify system operation, capture after photos of every treated run, and compile your Documented Photo Record - included as standard, not an upsell. The 365-Day Done Right Promise attaches in writing before we leave.
- 6
Job record archived. Your photos, scope, and warranty documents are retained for reference if you need us back, or if you want a Free Second Opinion on any competitor’s subsequent estimate.
BeforeAfterWhat Rotobrush Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Katy
Rotobrush air quality and sanitizing work in Katy typically falls in these ranges, with the final price fixed in writing before work starts:
- Bacteria sanitizing / odor treatment (single system): $280-$420
- Mold treatment with antimicrobial application: $340-$580
- UV light installation (Rotobrush-compatible or upgraded ballast): $380-$650
- Whole-home air purifier install (Honeywell, Aprilaire, or Guardsman unit): $520-$890
- Allergen reduction package (sanitizing + HEPA upgrade + vent seal): $450-$720
What moves the price: system accessibility (attic vs. closet), duct run count, severity of contamination documented in the pre-service photos, and whether we’re correcting a prior incomplete treatment. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier air quality systems, and can cross-match components when a Rotobrush-specific part is backordered. Every estimate is free and carries no obligation to schedule.
Why Katy Homeowners Call CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning for Rotobrush Work
We’ve served over 52,000 homes since 2013, every one with a written price before work started and a Documented Photo Record when the crew left. The 365-Day Done Right Promise isn’t a policy subject to manager approval - it’s a written guarantee on every job. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival under Haven Standard Clause 3. Tomas Reyes, who built CleanRun around the habit of pulling the camera out before touching a single register, still reviews photo records from jobs in the Katy area, including the ranch-style homes near LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch where the ductwork tells you more about the house’s history than the seller’s disclosure ever will. We carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman - brands you can look up independently before you agree to a price.
FAQs
No. As an independent Rotobrush service provider with no manufacturer affiliation, we use warranty-safe practices: OEM parts where required for coverage, quality aftermarket where the warranty period has lapsed or the OEM part is discontinued. We document what was used and keep the part spec in your job record so warranty questions are answerable with paperwork, not phone calls.
You receive a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, before and after, plus any meter readings (UV output, negative-pressure verification) taken during service. If the photo doesn’t show a difference, we haven’t done our job. Call (346) 666-7165 if you want to see sample records from prior Rotobrush jobs.
Replace when the repair exceeds 60% of replacement cost, when OEM parts are obsolete (common for Classic II UV modules), or when the unit has repeated the same failure within the 365-Day Done Right Promise period. We write both numbers - repair and replace - and let the documentation decide.
Most Rotobrush consumables and common replacement components arrive within 2-3 business days through our distributor network. For discontinued lines, we maintain cross-reference compatibility with Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman equivalents and will present that option in writing if it saves time without compromising function.
The $79 coupon model typically covers a visual inspection and a shop-vac at the register. Real sanitizing requires access to the plenum, proper application dwell time, and verification - which is what we document in your photo record. We put our price next to any competitor’s written estimate for a Free Second Opinion. Call (346) 666-7165 to arrange it.
