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.

AfterRotobrush Dryer Vent Cleaning in New Braunfels: What to Know First
We provide independent Rotobrush dryer vent cleaning in New Braunfels for homeowners who want the work documented, not just declared clean. A typical Rotobrush dryer vent job runs $180-$340 for standard single-run residential systems, and we deliver a written price before touching a tool. Every visit ends with a Documented Photo Record of the interior vent run, included as standard.
This page is for Rotobrush owners in New Braunfels who need their dryer vent inspected, cleaned, rerouted, or fitted with a bird guard, and who want to know what the work actually costs and what they’ll receive to prove it was done. Call (830) 549-6847 for a written estimate at no charge.
How Rotobrush Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Beast Series brush motor seizure in high-lint environments. The Beast’s 450 RPM motor pulls aggressively, but in New Braunfels homes near the Comal River where cottonwood lint is heavy in spring, the brush head can pack solid and stall the drive. We pull the head, clear the bind at the elbow, and test amperage draw before reassembly. If the motor’s cooked, we source OEM or verified aftermarket replacements and note the amp reading on your job record.
- BrushBeast vacuum blower impeller cracking from thermal cycling. The BrushBeast’s poly impeller fatigues when dryers run long cycles in our summer heat, then cool overnight. Hairline cracks show up as suction drop before total failure. We inspect impeller vanes with a borescope during the vent cleaning, and if we find cracking, we replace with Rotobrush-specified impellers or cross-referenced equivalents that match the factory CFM curve.
- Flex-duct adapter wear on older Rotobrush portable units. The quick-connect collar on pre-2018 portables loosens where it meets corrugated transition duct, common in Gruene-area homes built in the late eighties. We replace the adapter with a reinforced collar and seal with high-temp foil tape rated for dryer exhaust, not the HVAC tape that peels at 150°F.
- Beast Lite hose kinking in long vertical runs. The Lite’s lighter hose is easier to handle but prone to ovalizing in two-story New Braunfels homes with attic drops longer than 18 feet. We switch to a stiffer braided hose for the vertical section, or reroute through a closer exterior wall if the structure allows, photographing both options before you decide.
- Controller board moisture damage in garage-stored units. Rotobrush machines stored in unconditioned New Braunfels garages see board corrosion from humidity spikes between May and October. We don’t do board-level electronics repair, but we document the damage, source replacement controllers through our parts network, and verify full operation before the unit goes back into service.
Our Rotobrush Dryer Vent Cleaning Process
- 1
Call and scheduling. A live person answers, confirms your Rotobrush model if you know it, and schedules a window. Tomas Reyes or a background-checked, uniformed technician arrives identified by name.
- 2
Inspection and photo documentation. We feed a borescope through the vent run and show you the interior on a tablet before quoting. “Show the photo first. Explain what you’re looking at. Then talk about what happens next.” That’s how Tomas trained every tech.
- 3
Written price delivered. Haven Standard Clause 1: the price is written and agreed before work starts. No exceptions. For Rotobrush jobs, this includes parts source, OEM or quality aftermarket.
- 4
Cleaning and repair. We use Rotobrush-compatible equipment from our roster, Nikro negative-pressure extractors for debris removal, and Guardsman fittings where we replace components. Every duct run is photographed before and after.
- 5
Flow test and verification. We measure exhaust velocity at the exterior cap with an anemometer and record the reading. A vent that moves less than 1,000 FPM gets flagged for further investigation.
- 6
Deliverables and guarantee. You receive the Documented Photo Record, the written scope, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing before we leave.

What moves the price: length of run, number of elbows, access difficulty (crawl space, attic, two-story), and whether parts need sourcing. We don’t do per-vent pricing because dryer vents are single systems. One flat price per system, agreed in writing. Call (830) 549-6847 for your exact number.

FAQs
No. As an independent Rotobrush service provider, we use warranty-safe practices and OEM or equivalent-spec parts. We document what we used so you have a record if warranty questions arise later. Call (830) 549-6847 if you want us to review your specific warranty terms before scheduling.
Replacement is warranted when the borescope shows corrosion holes, separations at joints, or flexible duct that has sagged below the dryer outlet trap, creating a lint reservoir. Cleaning suffices when the duct is intact but obstructed. We show you the photo and explain which condition we found before you commit to either path. Call (830) 549-6847 for a free inspection.
OEM guarantees fit and spec match. Quality aftermarket from our network matches the factory CFM and amp ratings at lower cost, and we warrant them identically under our 365-Day Done Right Promise. We name the source on your written scope so you know what you’re getting. Call (830) 549-6847 to discuss options for your model.
Most residential jobs in New Braunfels take 60 to 90 minutes from arrival to final flow test. Reroutes or machine repairs add time, and we quote that upfront. You’ll get a written time estimate with your price. Call (830) 549-6847 to schedule.
The Documented Photo Record: interior images of every duct run, before and after, plus the written scope and flow test reading. These are standard deliverables on every CleanRun job, included at no extra charge, not an add-on. If a competitor can’t show you this, ask why. Call (830) 549-6847 and we’ll explain what to look for.
