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.

We’ve worked in Greatwood since 2013, and the pattern is unmistakable: whole streets of homes built in the same phase, with the same flex-duct systems, failing the same way at the same time. That’s not coincidence. It’s what happens when a master-planned community goes up in tight construction windows between the late 1980s and early 2000s. The homes near the Brazos River corridor, the original sections off FM 762 and Greatwood Parkway, are now 25-35 years into ductwork that was never designed to survive that many Fort Bend County summers. We know the street layouts, the attic access points, and the specific failure modes this neighborhood produces. Our Air Duct Cleaning team carries the equipment to document every run before we touch it and prove the difference after.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Katy Is Greatwood’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Greatwood homeowners research before they call. They bought into a planned community with specific building standards, and they expect service providers to understand what they’re walking into. We do. Our crews have photographed the inside of ductwork in Greatwood homes from the original riverfront sections to the later phases near Crabb River Road, and the documentation tells a consistent story: cracked mylar, compressed insulation, and airflow numbers that don’t match what the thermostat promises.
Our reputation here is built on what we can show, not what we claim. Every job starts with a written price under Haven Standard Clause 1 and ends with a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, delivered as a standard deliverable. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies in writing, not as a verbal assurance. Technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and they’re identified by name before arrival. No exceptions.
Scheduling is coordinated from our Houston office, with crews dispatched to Greatwood for dedicated appointments. All calls are answered by a live person, 24/7, and estimates are free.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Greatwood

Residential Duct Cleaning
Greatwood’s housing stock is dominated by large two-story single-family homes, many 2,500-4,500 square feet, with extensive duct runs through unconditioned attics. That construction standard exposes flex duct to temperatures regularly exceeding 140°F in summer, and the repeated heat cycling degrades the inner liner and insulation wrap faster than conditioned-space ductwork. Our residential service covers full source removal: agitation tools, negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration, and cleaning of the air handler, blower motor, and coils. We photograph every run before and after. Homes in the earliest Greatwood sections near the Brazos River corridor often need more than cleaning; we flag degraded ductwork for replacement and provide a written scope with photos.

Commercial Duct Cleaning
Greatwood’s commercial spaces, including the retail and medical office buildings along FM 762 and near the community’s main entry points, operate under different occupancy loads and code requirements than residential systems. We clean commercial ductwork with the same documentation standards: written price first, photo record after, equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro sized to the system. Commercial jobs in Greatwood often require after-hours scheduling to avoid disrupting patient or customer traffic, and we coordinate that directly with facility managers.

Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air to your registers, and in Greatwood’s two-story homes, those runs are long, branching through hot attics to reach second-floor bedrooms. When the inner mylar liner cracks, air leaks into the attic before it reaches the register. The room stays warm. The AC runs longer. The energy bill climbs. We clean supply runs with rotary brushes and negative-pressure extraction, then photograph the interior to verify the liner integrity. In Greatwood’s 1990s-era homes, we regularly find supply ducts that look intact from the register but are moving 30-50% less air than design spec due to liner degradation.

Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler, and in Greatwood homes they’re often the largest runs in the system, sometimes 12-16 inches in diameter, routed through the same hot attics as supplies. Because return ducts operate under negative pressure, any crack or separation pulls hot, dusty attic air directly into your breathing air. That’s a common find in Greatwood’s aging flex-duct systems. We clean return plenums and trunk lines, inspect for separation at joints and elbows, and document with before-and-after photography. If the return ductwork has collapsed or delaminated, we note it in writing and provide replacement options with the same upfront pricing.

Full System Cleaning
This is our most requested service in Greatwood, and for good reason. A full system cleaning covers every supply run, every return run, the plenum, the air handler cabinet, the blower motor and wheel, and the evaporator coils. We use professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Abatement Technologies, with HEPA filtration on the vacuum collection. The job concludes with a Documented Photo Record of every component, delivered to you as part of the standard job record. For a 3,500-square-foot Greatwood home, typical full system cleaning runs $520-$680.

Video Inspection
Before we quote replacement or extensive repair, we run a video camera through the ductwork. In Greatwood, this step is essential. The camera shows what visual inspection from the register cannot: cracked mylar liners, compressed insulation, standing water from condensation events, and microbial growth on the duct interior. The video becomes part of your job record. If the ducts are clean and intact, we’ll show you that too. Haven Standard Clause 1 applies: written price before any work starts, every time.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Greatwood Homes

- Old flex duct looks connected but moves almost no air. In Greatwood’s earliest sections near the Brazos River corridor, we regularly open attics to find flex duct from the late 1980s where the inner mylar liner has cracked and the insulation wrap has compressed flat. The register still blows a whisper of air, so homeowners assume the system is working. It’s not. The duct is structurally failed and needs replacement, not just cleaning.
- Shared dryer vent stacks trap lint deep in the run. Greatwood condos and attached homes often share a single dryer vent stack running through multiple units. Cleaning the lint trap inside the unit does nothing for the accumulation four floors up in the shared shaft. We clean the full stack from roof termination to basement connection, with rotary tools and negative-pressure extraction, and photograph the interior to verify clearance.
- Oversized AC systems drive condensation and microbial growth inside attic ductwork. Large two-story Greatwood homes frequently have cooling systems that cycle on and off rapidly rather than running long enough to dehumidify properly. The repeated condensation inside hot attic ducts creates persistent moisture that surface cleaning won’t address. Full source removal with antimicrobial treatment is required.
- Whole streets hit duct failure simultaneously due to phased construction. Because Greatwood was built in tight development phases rather than organically over generations, the flex-duct systems in entire neighborhoods were installed with the same materials at the same time. When one home needs replacement, the neighbors often do too. We offer multi-home scheduling for Greatwood streets with documented coordination.

What moves a Greatwood job toward the higher end: larger homes with more duct runs, systems that haven’t been serviced in 10+ years, visible mold or microbial growth requiring antimicrobial treatment, and degraded flex duct that needs replacement rather than cleaning alone. What keeps it toward the lower end: regular maintenance history, accessible attics, and systems that are intact but dirty.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Greatwood

You likely need video inspection first to determine which. In Greatwood’s 1990-1995 construction phase, flex-duct liners are now 30+ years into heat cycling that cracks mylar and compresses insulation. If the camera shows intact liner with debris buildup, cleaning solves it. If the liner is cracked or the wrap is flat, those runs need replacement. We provide both options in writing with photos. Call (346) 666-7165 for a free inspection.
We clean the full stack from roof termination to the lowest connection point, using rotary brushes and negative-pressure HEPA extraction that pulls lint out rather than pushing it into neighboring units. The process takes 2-3 hours for a typical three-story stack, and we photograph the interior before and after. Single-unit trap cleaning is not sufficient for shared systems. Call (346) 666-7165 to schedule.
Three factors converge: Fort Bend County’s subtropical climate produces dew points above 70°F for five-plus months, creating condensation inside attic ducts; the uniform construction era means most homes use the same generation of flex-duct materials now hitting end-of-life; and the large two-story home standard here produces long duct runs through unconditioned spaces where temperatures exceed 140°F. That combination degrades liner and insulation faster than in drier climates or homes with shorter duct runs. Call (346) 666-7165 if your Greatwood home’s airflow has declined.
Every supply run, every return run, the plenum (the central distribution box), the air handler cabinet, the blower motor and wheel, and the evaporator coils. We use agitation tools with negative-pressure extraction and HEPA filtration. The job includes a Documented Photo Record of every component, delivered as part of your standard job record. For a home this size in Greatwood, typical cost is $520-$680. Call (346) 666-7165 for a written estimate.
Often yes, but only after we identify the cause. The room may have a crushed or disconnected flex run, a blocked register, or an undersized duct branch. We video-inspect the specific run, photograph the finding, and provide a written scope for repair or replacement of just that section. In Greatwood’s older sections, we also find that one failed run is symptomatic of systemic liner degradation, and we note that in writing if we see it. Call (346) 666-7165 to schedule targeted diagnostics.
In the original section of Greatwood near the Brazos River corridor, we opened a 1990 two-story whose flex duct had delaminated inside the wrap - the runs looked connected at the register, but camera inspection showed the mylar liner cracked and the insulation wrap compressed flat, so those supply and return ducts moved almost nothing. After a full-system source removal with agitation tools under negative pressure and HEPA filtration, we replaced the collapsed runs, cleaned the air handler and blower motor, and verified with a blower door test that every run was actually delivering air again.
