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.

Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Spring Is Atascocita’s Preferred Duct Repair & Sealing Company
We’ve been serving the Lake Houston corridor since 2013, and Atascocita represents one of our most called-about markets. The reason is straightforward: this area’s combination of 1980s-2000s flex-duct housing stock, extreme attic heat, and the lingering effects of Hurricane Harvey creates duct problems that generic cleaners miss or misdiagnose.

Every technician is identified by name before arrival, and every job concludes with a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, delivered to you as a standard deliverable.

Our Duct Repair & Sealing Services in Atascocita
Flex Duct Repair
Atascocita’s master-planned subdivisions from the 1980s through mid-2000s were built with flex duct secured by zip ties and mastic that degrades predictably in 130°F attic heat. We find sagging runs, collapsed sections, and gaps at collars throughout Lakeshore and Fall Creek. Our crew cuts out damaged flex, installs new insulated duct with mechanical supports, and seals with fresh mastic. Every repair is photographed before and after. Flex duct repair in Atascocita typically runs $340-$620 per run.
Mastic Sealant Application
Brush-on mastic outlasts tape by a decade in humid attics. We apply Abatement Technologies mastic to every joint, collar, and plenum seam after repair work, then pressure-test the system to verify seal integrity. In Atascocita’s high-dew-point environment, this matters more than in drier Texas markets. Mastic sealing as a standalone service runs $280-$480 for most Atascocita homes.
Air Leak Repair
Leak detection starts with a pressure test, not a guess. We pressurize the duct system, measure loss at the air handler, then use smoke pencils to locate breaches in attic runs. In Eagle Springs, we’ve found supply boots completely detached from ceiling drywall, blowing conditioned air directly into insulation. Repair involves reattaching boots, replacing compromised flex, and sealing with mastic. Typical air leak repair in Atascocita: $320-$580.
Metal Duct Repair
Some Atascocita homes, particularly earlier builds near FM 1960, have galvanized metal trunk lines. We repair rusted sections, reseal longitudinal seams, and install access panels where needed. Metal repair runs higher than flex due to material and labor: $450-$780 in this market.
Duct Insulation Replacement
Floodwater and attic condensation destroy duct insulation from the outside in. We remove saturated or mold-compromised insulation, treat the underlying duct, and install new R-6 or R-8 wrap. In Harvey-affected homes, this is often necessary even when the duct itself is salvageable. Insulation replacement: $380-$640.
Duct Sealing (Aeroseal and Manual Methods)
For systems with widespread micro-leaks but intact structure, we offer manual sealing with mastic or, where appropriate, aerosol-based duct sealing technology. We assess whether your Atascocita home qualifies based on duct material, age, and contamination level. Whole-system sealing: $680-$1,200.

Common Duct Repair & Sealing Problems We See in Atascocita Homes
- Post-Harvey hidden contamination. In neighborhoods like Eagle Springs, homeowners replaced flooring and sheetrock after 2017 but left original duct boots and plenums untouched. Opening a register often reveals a visible tide line of dried silt and black mold that traveled in with floodwater, a pattern almost unique to this Lake Houston-adjacent zip code corridor.
- Flex-duct degradation from attic heat. The bulk of Atascocita’s housing stock uses flex duct installed in unconditioned attics. After twenty-plus years of 130°F summers, the mastic cracks, zip ties fail, and collars gap. The system still blows air, but it’s pulling humid attic air and insulation fibers into your supply stream.
- Condensation-driven mold growth. Proximity to Lake Houston and the San Jacinto River basin pushes ambient humidity higher than the Houston metro average. Near-constant AC operation (9-10 months annually) moves massive air volume through ducts while high dew points cause persistent condensation on duct surfaces, feeding mold that reseals leaks from the inside with biological growth.
- Improper post-flood repairs. Some Atascocita homes received cosmetic restoration after Harvey but never had ductwork professionally assessed. Ground-level or garage-mounted air handlers pulled sediment-laden, biologically contaminated water directly into duct systems. Years later, that contamination still circulates.

FAQs - Duct Repair & Sealing in Atascocita
It depends on what a camera inspection reveals. If the contamination is limited to surface mold and debris in accessible trunk lines, negative-pressure extraction with antimicrobial treatment may suffice. If floodwater reached the plenum or flex boots, and we find dried silt rings or black mold inside the boot structure, replacement is usually necessary because porous materials cannot be cleaned to safe levels. We document both scenarios with photos and moisture readings so your insurer can see the distinction. Call (346) 423-3631 for an inspection and written assessment.
The San Jacinto basin and Lake Houston push local dew points higher than the Houston average, which means condensation forms on duct surfaces more frequently and persists longer. That moisture degrades mastic seals faster, promotes mold growth inside duct runs, and makes air leaks more consequential because every gap pulls humid attic air directly into your supply stream. We use Abatement Technologies mastic rated for high-humidity environments and verify seal integrity with pressure testing before leaving. For a humidity-specific assessment of your system, call (346) 423-3631.
NADCA Standard 1992-01 requires mechanical cleaning of HVAC components, containment of debris, and protection of duct access openings. For repair and sealing work, we extend this to photo documentation of pre-existing conditions, moisture readings of flood-affected materials, written scope of repair, and post-repair pressure-test results. Your Documented Photo Record includes all images, readings, and the written warranty. Insurers accept this package because it timestamps damage, links it to specific components, and proves the work was performed to trade standard. We provide this documentation as a standard deliverable on every Atascocita job.
Visible sagging between supports, gaps at collars where flex meets the boot, crushed sections from foot traffic or storage, and insulation that slides freely on the duct core are all physical failures that cleaning cannot address. If your system also shows uneven temperatures between rooms, excessive dust at registers, or musty odors that persist after cleaning, the duct structure itself is likely compromised. We inspect with a camera and give you a written repair scope with photos. Call (346) 423-3631 to schedule.
Yes, if the duct structure is intact. Localized leaks at collars and joints are sealed with mastic and mechanical supports. Widespread micro-leaks in otherwise sound metal or flex systems can be addressed with whole-system sealing methods. We only recommend replacement when the duct material itself is degraded, contaminated, or physically damaged beyond reliable repair. The camera inspection determines which path applies to your home. Written price before work starts, every time. Call (346) 423-3631.
