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.

How Rotobrush Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Rotobrush BrushBeast series: drive cable binding in long vent runs. The BrushBeast’s flexible drive cable can bind in vent runs exceeding 25 feet, especially where Katy builders route dryer vents through multiple attic trusses to meet exterior wall requirements. We diagnose this with a borescope inspection first, then determine whether cable section replacement or a full vent rerouting under Haven Standard Clause 1 pricing is the documented fix.
- Rotobrush aiR+ XP: premature motor overheating in high-humidity cycles. Katy’s Gulf Coast humidity means dryers work harder eight months of the year. The aiR+ XP’s compact motor can overheat when lint traps are cleaned infrequently and back-pressure builds. We pull the motor housing, photograph the lint load with our documented photo record, and replace with OEM or verified aftermarket motors - never a used component.
- Rotobrush DuctMaster: worn brush head collars on older units. The DuctMaster’s original nylon brush collars degrade after roughly 150-200 hours of runtime, causing uneven rotation and incomplete lint removal. We stock replacement collars and verify brush head balance before reassembly, documenting the wear pattern in the photo record so the homeowner sees why replacement was necessary.
- Rotobrush vacuum hose: collapse at the plenum connection point. The plenum - the distribution box where duct runs converge - is where Rotobrush vacuum hoses often collapse under sustained negative pressure, particularly on jobs where previous cleaners used improper adapters. We inspect the plenum with a camera before attaching our Nikro or Abatement Technologies extraction equipment, then photograph the intact connection as part of the standard deliverable.
- Rotobrush bird guard and vent cap: aftermarket incompatibility. Many Katy homeowners install generic big-box bird guards that obstruct the Rotobrush vent cap’s airflow pattern, creating lint accumulation zones. We carry Guardsman and Rotobrush-compatible caps, measure the existing opening, and document the replacement with before-and-after photos showing the corrected airflow geometry.

FAQs
No, independent service does not automatically void a Rotobrush warranty, though using non-OEM parts for covered repairs can affect specific claims. We document every part source in writing so you have a record if warranty questions arise later. Call (346) 666-7165 if you need help interpreting your warranty terms.
The borescope shows the difference: accumulated lint that extracts cleanly means cleaning; corrosion, physical damage, or repeated clogging at the same elbow usually means replacement. We show you the camera feed before quoting either option. Call (346) 666-7165 to schedule an inspection.
Rotobrush maintains parts availability for current and recently discontinued lines, though some DuctMaster components are now supply-limited. We stock quality aftermarket equivalents where OEM is unavailable, and we document the source in writing before installation. Call (346) 666-7165 to confirm parts availability for your model.
Most standard cleanings take 60-90 minutes; vent rerouting or cap replacement adds 30-60 minutes depending on wall construction. We schedule by the job, not by the hour, so the price does not change if the work runs longer than estimated. Call (346) 666-7165 to book a slot.
Your job record includes before-and-after photos of every duct run, the vent cap, and the connection points, delivered as a standard part of the service - not an upsell. This documented photo record is how we distinguish real work from vacuum noise. Call (346) 666-7165 and we’ll show you a sample record.
