Frequently Asked Questions

We connect a negative-air machine to your trunk line, seal all registers, and use compressed-air whips and rotary brushes to dislodge debris from each run. The vacuum pulls it all out through one controlled exit point. A typical single-system home in Spring takes 3-5 hours. We photograph every run before and after, measure airflow where accessible, and leave you with a documented record of what we found and removed.

Every 3-5 years for most homes. Spring's pollen-heavy springs, summer humidity, and occasional flooding near Spring Creek can accelerate buildup. Homes with pets, recent renovations, or residents with allergies often benefit from closer to 3 years. We inspect first and tell you what we found, not what we felt about it. If your ducts are clean, we'll say so. No unnecessary work, Clause 5.

You can vacuum registers and change filters, but you cannot reach the full duct system without professional negative-air equipment. Rotary brushes, compressed-air whips, and trunk-line access require training and tools that cost more than a professional cleaning. More importantly, DIY attempts can damage flexible ductwork or dislodge connections in your attic. We document our work with photos so you see exactly what professional equipment removes.

A standard single-system home takes 3-5 hours. Larger homes in Champions Forest or Gleannloch Farms, or homes with multiple HVAC zones, may take longer. We arrive in a real window, with a named tech and a text when we're on the way, Clause 2 of The Haven Standard. We do not rush. The job takes as long as it takes to clean every run and photograph the results.

No. Our negative-air machine creates suction at the trunk line, so debris travels in one direction, out of your home. We seal registers during cleaning and use drop cloths where needed. Our crews are required to leave your home as clean as they found it, documented in our post-job checklist. If we make a mess, we clean it, Clause 5.

We use Nikro negative-air machines and rotary brush systems, paired with compressed-air whips and HEPA-filtered vacuums. Nikro builds equipment specifically for HVAC remediation, with enough suction power to pull debris through long trunk lines without losing seal. We also use Honeywell airflow measurement tools where accessible, to document performance before and after cleaning. The right equipment matters because shop vacs and rotary brushes alone cannot create the pressure differential that removes settled debris.

We can install Aprilaire whole-home air purifiers or Honeywell media filters if your system is compatible, but only after discussing options and pricing in writing. We do not upsell during the cleaning. Any additional work requires a separate scope and signature, Clause 1 and Clause 5 of The Haven Standard. If your ducts need cleaning, we clean them. If you also want filtration upgrades, we quote that separately and you decide.

A run is the trade term for a single duct line from the plenum, the central distribution box, to a register in your wall, floor, or ceiling. A clean run is both the thing we deliver and the condition we leave it in. One word doing two jobs, both literal. Most Spring homes have 10-20 supply runs and 3-5 return runs. We clean and photograph every one, not just the easy ones.

Every pro working under our name is required to hold the license and insurance Texas requires for HVAC and duct cleaning work. We verify licenses, insurance, and background checks before anyone wears our logo, Clause 3 of The Haven Standard. Their license numbers are available on request. This is not a handshake operation; documentation is how we prove who was in your home and what they were qualified to do.

This location is independently owned and operated by Tomas Reyes, serving Spring, The Woodlands, Humble, and surrounding areas. CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning is an established brand that existed before this branch opened, with standards, documentation systems, and buying power that keep local prices honest. The local business is the franchisee, their license, their trucks, their neighbors. The standards come from CleanRun; the service comes from your local team.

Sometimes. Main trunk lines and plenums are often in the attic, especially in Spring homes built after 1980. Our crews carry proper lighting, boards for safe walking, and respirators. We never send someone into a confined space alone, and we photograph any access points we use. If your attic is unsafe or inaccessible, we discuss alternative access before starting, Clause 1.

We answer the phone 24/7 at (346) 423-3631, and our live coordinator can dispatch the local team for urgent situations like post-fire smoke damage, mold discovery, or water intrusion after a storm. Duct cleaning is normally a scheduled job, not an emergency service, but we understand that some situations cannot wait. We do not guarantee same-day arrival, but we do guarantee a real person answers and a local tech calls you back to assess urgency.

Stop using the system and call us. We inspect first, photograph what we find, and tell you honestly whether it is surface dust or active mold growth. If remediation is needed beyond standard cleaning, we explain the scope and cost in writing before proceeding, Clause 1. We do not panic homeowners into unnecessary work. In Spring's humid climate, we do see mold in poorly insulated attic ducts near Spring Creek and in older homes with crawlspace returns. Documentation matters; we provide it.

Yes, but timing matters. Ducts must be fully dry before cleaning or they will re-contaminate immediately. We coordinate with your water mitigation company, inspect with moisture meters, and document dryness before we start. Homes in flood-prone Spring areas near Cypress Creek or Spring Creek have unique challenges with sediment and humidity. We have handled post-Harvey and post-Imelda cleanups in this market and know what to look for.

Every job leaves with a written warranty, Clause 1 of The Haven Standard. The specific terms depend on what was done, but the principle is simple: if we did not leave every run clean and documented, we return to fix it. No arguments, no runaround. The warranty is in writing because verbal promises are worthless. Ask for your copy before we leave.

The Haven Standard is the five-clause code every CleanRun branch works to: Clause 1, Have it in writing, flat price, written scope, written warranty before anyone starts; Clause 2, Arrive on schedule, a real window, a named tech, a text when they are on the way; Clause 3, Verified crews, licensed, insured, background-checked; Clause 4, Evidence on every job, photos and readings of what we actually found; Clause 5, No surprises, no door upsell, no scope creep, no "while we're in here." It is stamped on every page because it is how we work.

Call us. Clause 5 of The Haven Standard means no surprises, and that includes the experience you have. If something is not right, we return to address it. Our business depends on documented results and honest reviews, not one-time transactions. In 13 years, CleanRun has served 52,000+ homes with a written price before we started and a documented record when we left. That record protects both of us.

We clean ducts across Spring, The Woodlands, Humble, Aldine, Atascocita, Tomball, Jersey Village, Conroe, Houston, Pinehurst, Hunters Creek Village, and Jacinto City. If you are unsure whether we cover your neighborhood, call (346) 423-3631. Our local team knows the area, from the older homes near Old Town Spring to the newer builds in Harmony and Benders Landing.
