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.

AfterAbatement Technologies Dryer Vent Cleaning in Katy: What to Know First
CleanRun provides independent Abatement Technologies dryer vent cleaning in Katy with written pricing delivered before work starts and a documented photo record of every vent run. Most Abatement Technologies jobs in the Katy area are completed in a single visit, with typical pricing from $180 to $340 depending on vent length, accessibility, and whether rerouting is needed. This page is for homeowners who own Abatement Technologies air handlers or dryer booster systems and need vent work that won’t void equipment warranties or leave lint trapped in transitions the manufacturer’s specs warn against. Call (346) 666-7165 for a written estimate.
How Abatement Technologies Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- PREDATOR 750 series booster fans seize from lint bypass. The PREDATOR 750’s inline centrifugal design pulls hard, but the factory screen spacing lets fine Katy lint pass through when humidity tops 70% and particles clump. We remove the fan housing, clean the impeller blades with a soft-bristle rotary tool, and reinstall with a secondary lint trap rated for the CFM load. The before photo does the talking. Everything after that is just paperwork.
- HEPA-AIRE SAH2 series transitions crack at the polymer joint. The SAH2’s flexible polymer boot hardens in Katy’s attic heat, typically above 140°F from May through September. We find stress fractures at the clamp point that leak lint into the plenum. We replace with a fire-rated aluminum transition, document the crack location, and note it in the job record for warranty reference if the homeowner files a claim.
- ABATEMENT PAS2400 portable systems suffer collapsed flex runs. The PAS2400’s high static pressure, designed for remediation jobs, will flatten standard vinyl flex in residential dryer applications. We see this in Cinco Ranch townhomes where a prior installer matched a commercial-spec machine to a 4-inch residential run. We replace with UL-listed semi-rigid aluminum, size the run to the dryer’s actual CFM, and photograph the gauge reading at the exterior cap.
- BD2A duct blaster adapters collect lint in the test port. Homeowners who had energy audits sometimes keep the BD2A adapter in-line. The 1-inch test port becomes a lint trap. We remove the adapter unless active testing is scheduled, cap the port with a listed plug, and flag it in the photo record so the next tech knows the history.
- HEPA-AIRE H5000 HEPA units back-pressure dryer vents sharing a chase. The H5000’s dense filtration creates static the dryer wasn’t designed to overcome. In Katy’s older ranch homes near LaCenterra, we find dryers sharing chases with remediation equipment left behind by prior owners. We separate the runs or install a code-compliant booster sized to the combined load, with written CFM verification.
Our Abatement Technologies Dryer Vent Cleaning Process
- 1
Call and scope. We ask for the Abatement Technologies model number, vent run length, and any error codes on the dryer display. We schedule and confirm a 2-hour arrival window.
- 2
Arrival and written price. The technician introduces himself by name, inspects the vent run with a borescope, and delivers a written price before touching a tool. Haven Standard Clause 1: no work starts without a signed scope.
- 3
Diagnostics and parts decision. We determine whether OEM Abatement Technologies parts are available for the specific failure or if a listed aftermarket equivalent meets the application. We document the choice in writing.
- 4
Cleaning and repair. We use negative-pressure extraction with a Nikro HEPA collector, agitate with Rotobrush contact tools where the vent material allows, and replace any damaged components. Every foot of the run is photographed.
- 5
Testing and verification. We measure airflow at the exterior cap with a calibrated anemometer and record the CFM reading. The Abatement Technologies booster, if present, is tested for amperage draw and vibration.
- 6
Cleanup and deliverables. The customer receives the written scope, before-and-after photo record, CFM test result, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. We leave no debris.
BeforeAfterWhat Abatement Technologies Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Katy
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Standard vent cleaning, single-story, up to 15 feet | $180 - $220 |
| Two-story or attic-run vent, 16-35 feet | $240 - $290 |
| Vent with PREDATOR booster removal and cleaning | $280 - $340 |
| Rerouting or replacing damaged SAH2 transition | $220 - $310 |
| Bird guard or vent cap replacement | $45 - $85 (added to cleaning) |
Three factors move the price: total vent length, whether the run passes through an unconditioned attic (common in Katy’s 2015-2020 builds), and whether the Abatement Technologies equipment requires disassembly for proper access. We do not price by the number of vents or offer teaser rates that balloon on arrival. One flat price per system, agreed in writing, before work starts. Call (346) 666-7165 for a free estimate with no obligation.
Why Katy Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Katy for Abatement Technologies Work
We’ve cleaned dryer vents in Katy since 2013, and we’ve worked on Abatement Technologies equipment long enough to know which parts the manufacturer stocks and which ones sit on back-order for weeks. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing, not as a verbal assurance. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems, so when a Katy home has mixed-brand HVAC and dryer vent setups, we don’t need a second contractor. The photo record is included, not an upsell. Tomas Reyes built this practice after seeing too many homeowners in the Houston metro pay for vacuum noise and a handshake.
FAQs
No. As an independent Abatement Technologies service provider, we use practices that meet the manufacturer’s published maintenance guidelines and document our work so warranty claims remain valid. We do not use tools or chemicals that exceed OEM specifications. If you have an active warranty, we’ll note the model and serial number in your job record for your files. Call (346) 666-7165 if you need a copy for a warranty submission.
The PREDATOR 750 series typically signals trouble with increased dryer cycle times, a hot exterior cap, or a humming motor that doesn’t spin. We test amperage draw against the manufacturer’s spec; if the motor is within tolerance but the impeller is lint-bound, cleaning restores function. If the motor draws over spec or the bearings grind, replacement is the honest call. We show you the meter reading and explain both options in writing before proceeding.
We source OEM parts when Abatement Technologies has them in regional distribution, which is typical for PREDATOR and HEPA-AIRE consumables. For discontinued transitions or back-ordered items, we use UL-listed aftermarket equivalents that meet the same pressure and temperature ratings. We document which part we installed and why, so you have a record if you sell the home or file a warranty claim.
Every 12 to 18 months for standard residential use, and every 6 to 12 months if you run multiple loads daily or have pets that shed. Katy’s humidity, which stays above 60% for much of the year, causes lint to clump and stick more than in drier climates. The SAH2 and PAS2400 systems we see in local homes are particularly sensitive to this buildup. We note the recommended interval on your written job record and do not automatically schedule follow-ups.
Bring us their written estimate. Under the Haven Standard, we provide a Free Second Opinion with our own written price next to theirs. We don’t match coupons or teaser rates; we match scope to scope and show you where the difference is. If our price is higher, we’ll explain what the lower estimate omitted. If it’s lower, we’ll explain how. Call (346) 666-7165 to schedule.
