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 Air Quality & Sanitizing in Katy: What to Know First
We provide independent Abatement Technologies air quality and sanitizing services in Katy, with most scheduled jobs completed in a single visit and a written price delivered before any work begins. Our typical Abatement Technologies service call runs $280-$520 for whole-system sanitizing and air quality treatment, depending on the scope and what the camera finds inside your ductwork. This page is for Katy homeowners who own Abatement Technologies air filtration, UV, or sanitizing equipment and need service that preserves their system warranty while delivering documented results they can see. Call us at (346) 666-7165 for a free written estimate.
How Abatement Technologies Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- PREDATOR 750 Series UV-C lamps lose output intensity at 9,000-10,000 hours - the lamp still glows, but the 253.7 nm germicidal output drops below effective levels. In Katy’s high-humidity months, we see this accelerated by biofilm buildup on the quartz sleeve. We measure actual UV output with a radiometer, replace the lamp with OEM-spec or verified-equivalent, and clean the sleeve with a non-abrasive process that won’t etch the quartz.
- HEPA-AIRE SAH2 negative air machines develop seal fatigue in the blower housing gasket - the machine runs, but it fails to maintain the negative pressure required for proper containment during mold remediation. Katy homes built 2015-2020 near Cane Island often run these units hard during spring allergy season. We pressure-test the housing, replace the gasket with Abatement Technologies spec or equivalent, and document the restored airflow in our photo record.
- ABATEMENT CAT5 air scrubbers suffer premature carbon filter saturation - the odor returns within weeks of replacement, usually because the pre-filter was bypassed or the unit was oversized for the space. We see this in Katy ranch-style homes with open floor plans where a single CAT5 was spec’d for too large a volume. We calculate actual cubic footage, verify filter sequencing, and install the correct MERV pre-filter to protect the carbon stage.
- PAS2400 portable air scrubbers develop motor bearing noise after extended runtime - the unit vibrates, the HEPA seal loosens, and filtration efficiency drops without the owner knowing. Our techs check bearing play with a dial indicator, replace with OEM motor assembly when indicated, and re-test HEPA integrity with a particle counter before the unit goes back into service.
- UVGI systems in Katy homes show sleeve fouling from local pollen load - katy’s spring oak pollen counts regularly exceed 2,000 grains per cubic meter, coating UV quartz sleeves and cutting transmission by 30% or more. We document the fouling with before photos, clean with deionized water and lint-free wipes per manufacturer protocol, and show the after photo so the homeowner sees the difference in light transmission.
Our Abatement Technologies Air Quality & Sanitizing Process
- 1
Call and scope. You describe your Abatement Technologies equipment and what you’re experiencing. We schedule a visit and begin a job file.
- 2
Arrival and documentation. Our technician, identified by name before arrival, photographs the equipment nameplate and the interior of the first accessible duct run before touching anything. The before photo does the talking. Everything after that is just paperwork.
- 3
Diagnostics with trade tools. We test UV output with a radiometer, measure negative air pressure with a manometer, or run a particle count as the situation requires. We explain what each number means in plain terms.
- 4
Written price, then work. Haven Standard Clause 1: you receive a written price before any work starts. No exceptions. The scope lists OEM versus quality aftermarket options where relevant, with the warranty implications of each stated clearly.
- 5
Service and re-test. We perform the sanitizing, repair, or installation, then re-test with the same instrument to verify the fix. Every duct run is photographed before and after.
- 6
Deliverables and guarantee. You receive the documented photo record, the written scope, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing before we leave.

What moves the price: accessibility of the unit (attic installs in Katy homes with 12/12 pitch add time), whether the job requires containment setup for occupied space, and the condition we find inside the ductwork. We do not price by vent count or square footage. One flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts. Call (346) 666-7165 for a free written estimate.
Why Katy Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Katy for Abatement Technologies Work
We’re an independent Abatement Technologies service provider, not a dealer, which means we service the equipment without pushing a replacement sale. Tomas Reyes and our techs also work on Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems daily, so when an Abatement Technologies unit is integrated with a mixed-brand HVAC setup, we understand how the components interact. Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing, Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews means background-checked and uniformed technicians, and the documented photo record shows you what was actually in your ducts. Since 2013, we’ve served over 52,000 homes with this same protocol: written price first, photos of every run, no exceptions.
FAQs
No. Warranty coverage remains intact when service is performed by qualified technicians using correct parts and procedures. We document our work with photos and written scope so any warranty question can be answered with evidence. As an independent Abatement Technologies service provider, we follow manufacturer specifications for filter sequencing, UV lamp spec, and HEPA seal integrity. Call (346) 666-7165 if you need documentation for a warranty claim.
OEM is always safe; quality aftermarket is often equivalent and sometimes faster to source. We stock both, explain the trade-off in writing, and let you decide. For UV lamps, we verify the 253.7 nm output spec matches OEM. For HEPA filters, we confirm the efficiency rating and seal geometry. The written scope lists what we used and why. Call (346) 666-7165 and we’ll show you both options with prices.
You receive a documented photo record of every duct run, before and after, plus any test readings we took. Haven Standard Clause 5: Documented Deliverables. If we treated for mold or bacteria, you see the application points. If we replaced a UV lamp, you see the old lamp’s hour reading and the new lamp’s output measurement. The photo record is included on every visit, not an upgrade. Call (346) 666-7165 to schedule.
Repair when the chassis is sound and parts are available; replace when corrosion has compromised the blower housing or the cost of repair exceeds 60% of comparable replacement. We give you both numbers in writing, with no incentive to sell new equipment since we’re independently owned and operated. Tomas Reyes has recommended against replacement on jobs where a $240 seal repair solved the problem. Call (346) 666-7165 for an honest assessment.
UV lamps every 9,000-12,000 hours of runtime, typically 12-18 months in Katy homes that run air conditioning eight months a year. HEPA and carbon filters per the unit’s pressure-drop indicator or annually, whichever comes first. Whole-system sanitizing when the camera shows buildup, or after any water intrusion or pest activity. We don’t sell maintenance contracts; we schedule based on what your documentation shows. Call (346) 666-7165 to review your last photo record.
