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
- Beast Series brush motor seizure from fine dust infiltration. The Beast line’s sealed brush housing isn’t fully sealed against Georgia’s heavy pollen loads, particularly after March and September peaks in Sandy Springs. We disassemble the drive head, clean the armature and bearings with compressed air and solvent, and replace the carbon brushes with OEM-spec parts. If the housing seal is compromised, we document it and recommend a rebuild or replacement before the next heavy season.
- Brushbeast vacuum blower impeller imbalance from debris buildup. The Brushbeast’s high-RPM blower wheel accumulates pet hair and construction dust at the hub, throwing the impeller out of balance and producing the characteristic low-frequency rumble owners describe. We remove the blower housing, clean and inspect the impeller for cracks, and rebalance or replace it. A cracked impeller on a Brushbeast is a full replacement, not a field repair - we stock the assembly to avoid second visits.
- Rotobrush Classic+ flex-shaft fatigue at the first bend point. The Classic+ uses a cable-driven shaft that kinks where it exits the drive housing, especially in tight crawlspaces common in Sandy Springs ranch homes off Spalding Drive. We replace the shaft with a braided-steel aftermarket equivalent rated for tighter bend radii, or source OEM if the customer prefers. The photo comes first. The invoice comes second.
- Brushbeast 2.0 HEPA filter housing seal degradation. The silicone gasket on the 2.0’s filter canister hardens in attics that hit 140°F in July and August, bypassing unfiltered air back into the living space. We replace the gasket and inspect the filter frame for warping; a warped frame gets documented and replaced under Haven Standard Clause 1’s written scope approval.
- Rotobrush aiR+ negative pressure loss from hose cuff wear. The aiR+ line’s quick-connect cuffs develop micro-tears after roughly 18 months of regular use in Sandy Springs’ abrasive mineral-dust environment. We pressure-test the full hose assembly, replace individual cuffs or the entire run depending on findings, and log the test results in the job record.
Our Rotobrush Air Duct Cleaning Process
- 1
Video inspection before equipment moves. We feed a camera through the plenum - the main distribution box where heated or cooled air splits into duct runs - and photograph every branch before touching a tool. Tomas Reyes started this practice after his years studying HVAC systems at Bronx Community College, and we haven’t skipped it since 2013.
- 2
Written scope and price delivered. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires a written price before any work starts. You’ll see what we found, what we’ll do, and what it costs. No exceptions.
- 3
OEM or quality aftermarket parts selection. For Rotobrush equipment, we stock OEM brushes, shafts, and gaskets, plus aftermarket equivalents from Guardsman and Abatement Technologies where they meet or exceed manufacturer specs. We note the source on the work order so you can verify independently.
- 4
Negative-pressure extraction with HEPA containment. We connect our Nikro or Abatement Technologies portable HEPA unit to create suction at the register - the vent cover where air enters your room - while the Rotobrush agitation head loosens debris. This prevents blow-back into the living space.
- 5
Post-cleaning video and photo record. Every duct run is photographed before and after. The images are delivered as part of your standard job record, stored for reference under our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
- 6
System test and written completion. We verify airflow at each register, check static pressure at the plenum, and provide a signed completion document with all photos, parts used, and warranty terms.
BeforeAfterWhat Rotobrush Air Duct Cleaning Costs in Sandy Springs
| Service | Typical Range | What Moves the Price |
|---|---|---|
| Rotobrush residential duct cleaning, single system | $380 - $540 | Number of duct runs, accessibility of plenum, presence of flex duct vs. rigid metal |
| Rotobrush residential duct cleaning, dual-zone system | $520 - $720 | Second air handler, additional return paths, longer hose runs required |
| Rotobrush equipment repair (brush motor, shaft, impeller) | $180 - $440 | OEM vs. aftermarket parts, whether rebuild or full replacement |
| Rotobrush HEPA filter and seal service | $95 - $160 | Filter size (2.0 vs. aiR+), gasket-only or full canister replacement |
| Video inspection with written findings, no cleaning | $125 - $175 | System size, crawlspace or attic access difficulty |
Homes in the Spalding Drive corridor with original 1960s ductwork typically land in the upper half of these ranges due to tight crawlspaces and galvanized steel that requires more aggressive agitation. Newer construction near Hammond Park with accessible flex duct usually falls lower. Every estimate is free, written, and valid for 30 days. Call (678) 904-9744 to schedule.

FAQs
No. As an independent Rotobrush service provider with no manufacturer affiliation, we use OEM-spec or equivalent parts and document everything. Manufacturer warranties cover defects in materials and workmanship, not who performs routine maintenance or repair. We provide parts source documentation with every job so you have a record if questions arise. Call (678) 904-9744 if you’d like us to review your warranty terms before scheduling.
Most single-system residential jobs take three to four hours from arrival to final test. Dual-zone systems or homes with crawlspace-only plenum access, common in older Sandy Springs neighborhoods, may run closer to five hours. We schedule by the job, not by the hour, so the crew stays until the photo record and system test are complete. Call (678) 904-9744 to book a morning or afternoon slot.
Replace if the brush motor has seized twice, the flex shaft has broken at the same kink point, or repair costs exceed 60% of a comparable new unit. Repair if it’s a first failure, the equipment is under five years old, and the rest of the system tests within spec. We document the condition of every major component in our written findings so you can make the decision with actual data, not pressure. Call (678) 904-9744 for a free inspection and written recommendation.
We stock brushes, shafts, and gaskets for the Classic+, Beast, Brushbeast, and Brushbeast 2.0 lines, plus limited inventory for discontinued models where aftermarket equivalents exist. For the rare Rotobrush unit we can’t source parts for within 48 hours, we’ll tell you during the estimate and recommend a replacement timeline. We don’t charge diagnostic fees for parts we can’t obtain. Call (678) 904-9744 with your model number and we’ll confirm availability before we schedule.
Our documented photo record shows the inside of every duct run before and after, with timestamps and register identifiers. You receive these images as a standard deliverable, not an upsell. The difference between a Rotobrush head passing through a clean duct and one cutting through a half-inch debris layer is visible and unmistakable. Haven Standard Clause 2 requires this documentation on every visit. Call (678) 904-9744 if you’d like to see sample photos from a comparable Sandy Springs home before booking.
