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.
Rotobrush Air Quality & Sanitizing in Sandy Springs: What to Know First
CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning provides independent Rotobrush service for air quality and sanitizing in Sandy Springs, with most jobs scheduled within a week and completed in a single visit. We deliver a written price before any work starts, Haven Standard Clause 1, and every duct run is photographed before and after. Typical Rotobrush air quality work in Sandy Springs runs from $340 for a basic sanitizing treatment to $890 for full-system mold remediation with UV light installation, depending on system size and what the camera shows. This page is for Rotobrush owners who want documented evidence of what is inside their ductwork and a fixed price that does not change once the truck is on the driveway. Call (678) 904-9744 for a free estimate.
How Rotobrush Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Beast Series brush motor seal degradation in humid crawl spaces. The Beast line’s brush assembly uses a neoprene shaft seal that stiffens after three to four Georgia summers. In Sandy Springs, where crawl space humidity regularly hits 80% from May through September, we see this seal harden and crack, allowing condensation into the motor housing. The fix is replacement with an OEM seal kit or, where the housing has corroded, a full brush head assembly. We photograph the housing interior before quoting either option.
- BrushBeast Pro flex-duct adapter fatigue in ranch home runs. The Pro’s quick-connect adapter is designed for standard metal collars, but Sandy Springs ranch homes from the 1960s and 1970s often have irregular flex-duct terminations at the plenum. Repeated connection and disconnection wears the adapter lugs. We machine a custom transition collar from sheet metal stock rather than forcing the fit, which preserves the adapter and prevents duct damage.
- Predator 1500 HEPA filter saturation in pollen season. The Predator’s HEPA stage loads fast during March and April when pine and oak pollen counts in Fulton County exceed 3,000 grains per cubic meter. Owners notice reduced suction and visible dust at registers. We replace the HEPA with an OEM-spec filter or an Abatement Technologies equivalent rated to the same MERV 16 standard, and we show the loaded filter photograph before disposal.
- Rotobrush duct cleaning machine vacuum motor bearing wear from extended runtime. The standard Rotobrush portable unit’s vacuum motor is not built for the four-to-six-hour runs that whole-system mold remediation requires. Bearing failure shows as a high-pitched whine and dropping suction. We swap in a Nikro replacement motor with sealed bearings rated for continuous duty, or we deploy our Abatement Technologies PREDATOR 800 as the primary extraction unit and use the Rotobrush for agitation only.
- Sanitizing solution injector clogging from municipal water scale. Sandy Springs draws from the Chattahoochee River treatment plant, which runs moderately hard at 7-8 grains per gallon. The Rotobrush solution injector’s 0.015-inch orifice accumulates scale when operators use tap water to dilute concentrate. We descale with food-grade citric acid and install an inline sediment filter, or we switch to pre-mixed Guardsman RTU solution for the remainder of the job.
Our Rotobrush Air Quality & Sanitizing Process

- 1
Inspection and photo documentation. We feed a camera through every accessible duct run and photograph the interior condition. Tomas Reyes reviews these images with the homeowner before any equipment enters the house. The photo comes first. The invoice comes second.
- 2
Written scope and fixed price. Based on what the camera showed, we deliver a written scope with a single price for the complete job. Haven Standard Clause 1: no work starts without a signed agreement and a fixed number.
- 3
Mechanical cleaning with Rotobrush agitation. We select the appropriate Rotobrush head for the duct material and condition, paired with negative-pressure extraction from a Nikro or Abatement Technologies collector. For flex duct, we use the Beast’s soft-bristle configuration at reduced RPM to prevent liner damage.
- 4
Sanitizing treatment or remediation. Mold jobs get an EPA-registered antimicrobial applied with a compressed-air fogger, not the standard injector, to ensure complete coverage at the specified dwell time. UV light installations are positioned at the supply plenum based on airflow calculations, not guesswork.
- 5
Post-treatment verification and photo record. We re-camera representative runs and deliver the complete before-and-after photo set as a PDF within 24 hours. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is activated in writing at this point.
- 6
System restart and airflow check. We verify static pressure at the air handler and confirm register airflow balance. Any deviation from baseline is noted and addressed before we leave.

Why Sandy Springs Homeowners Call CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning for Rotobrush Work

We are an independent Rotobrush service provider, not a factory-authorized dealer, which means we source parts based on what the job actually needs rather than what a single supplier stocks. Our technicians carry OEM Rotobrush consumables and quality aftermarket equivalents from Nikro and Abatement Technologies on every truck. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every job in writing, not as a verbal assurance that disappears with the crew.
Tomas Reyes and his team have worked the Spalding Drive corridor and the older ranch neighborhoods east of Roswell Road long enough to know which Sandy Springs homes have original ductwork from 1974 and which have been retrofitted with flex runs that require gentler handling. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier integrated air quality systems, so we do not treat your Rotobrush equipment in isolation from the larger HVAC context it operates within.
Background-checked, uniformed technicians. License number published on every estimate. Documented Photo Record on every visit. That is the Haven Standard.
FAQs
No. Routine maintenance and repair by an independent service provider does not void the Rotobrush warranty, provided OEM-spec parts are used for any covered-component work. We document part numbers and source on every invoice for your warranty file. If you have a specific warranty concern, bring your paperwork to the estimate and we will review coverage boundaries with you. Call (678) 904-9744 to schedule.
The camera determines this, not a phone conversation. Visible microbial growth on more than 10 square feet of duct surface, or a musty odor that persists after mechanical cleaning, triggers our remediation protocol with EPA-registered antimicrobial and extended dwell time. Light debris with no biological activity gets standard sanitizing. We show you the images and explain which threshold your system crossed before you sign anything.
Yes, for most units. We maintain a cross-reference library of aftermarket and rebuilt components for discontinued Rotobrush lines, including the original BrushBeast (pre-2019) and early Predator 1500 serial ranges. Where no direct replacement exists, we fabricate or adapt from compatible Nikro and Abatement Technologies components and document the substitution in writing. Lead time is typically three to five business days for obsolete parts.
Replacement makes sense when repair costs exceed 60% of a comparable new unit and the existing machine has known secondary wear points. For example, a Beast with a failed motor and a cracked brush housing is usually a replacement candidate. A Beast with a single seal failure and clean internals is a repair. We provide both numbers in writing and let the photograph guide the decision.
Every three to five years for standard residential systems, or sooner if you have completed renovation work, added a pet, or noticed persistent odors. Sandy Springs’ combination of high spring pollen and extended cooling seasons creates conditions that accelerate biological loading in ductwork. We date-stamp our photo records so you have an objective baseline for timing the next service. Call (678) 904-9744 to review your last documented condition.
