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.

We’ve worked in New Braunfels since 2013, and the duct conditions here don’t match what we see in San Antonio or Austin. The Ashe juniper pollen load, the river-corridor humidity, and the caliche dust from rural ranch roads all create distinct contamination patterns that require different cleaning intervals and tool selection. Whether your home sits in Veramendi, off FM 306 near Gruene, or on acreage toward Canyon Lake, the crew that arrives will have cleaned ducts in that specific environment before.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning New Braunfels Is New Braunfels’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Our reputation in New Braunfels is built on documentation, not claims. Every job starts with a written price under Haven Standard Clause 1 and ends with a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, delivered as a standard deliverable. Homeowners here research before they call, and they stay with us because they can verify what was done.
We answer calls with a live person 24/7, and our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival, per Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every job in writing, not as a policy subject to manager approval. If the work is not right, we make it right.
Scheduling is coordinated from our San Antonio office, with crews serving New Braunfels properties directly. Response time to most New Braunfels addresses is same-week, with rural properties toward Canyon Lake typically scheduled within 10 days.
Our Air Duct Cleaning team knows the local housing stock: the 2000s-2020s slab-on-grade tract homes in Forest Ridge and Gruene area developments, the mid-century homes near historic downtown with undersized original ductwork, and the rural properties on caliche roads where mineral grit loads return ducts faster than organic pollen ever could.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in New Braunfels
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most New Braunfels homes we serve fall into two categories: newer construction in Veramendi or Forest Ridge, where construction-phase drywall dust and insulation debris still contaminate first-cycle ductwork; and established homes near Landa Park or the historic district, where decades of cedar pollen and river humidity have layered deposits that simple vacuuming won’t dislodge. Our residential service includes full source removal using negative-pressure extraction, agitation tools, and camera verification of every duct run. The written scope specifies each register, trunk line, and plenum (the main distribution box) before work begins.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
New Braunfels’s commercial base includes hospitality properties along the Comal and Guadalupe, retail along I-35, and medical offices near the hospital district. These systems face higher occupancy loads and, in river-adjacent buildings, the same humidity-driven mold risk we see in residences. We clean commercial systems after hours where needed, with documented photo records formatted for facility managers and compliance files. Equipment includes Abatement Technologies negative-air machines sized to the system CFM.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms, and in New Braunfels they often carry more than temperature-controlled air. Cedar pollen that infiltrates the return side can recirculate through supply runs, and in homes near Landa Park, we’ve found mold colonies in supply boots (the angled connections at floor or ceiling registers) even in construction less than five years old. Our supply duct service includes register removal, boot inspection, and agitation cleaning with camera confirmation that the run is clear to the plenum.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the HVAC unit for reconditioning, and in New Braunfels they work the hardest. Rural properties on caliche roads load returns with fine mineral grit that abrades blower motors and coats evaporator coils. In town, cedar pollen packs against return grilles and filters from December through February. Our return duct service addresses the full path from grille to air handler, including the filter rack and blower compartment. This is where we most often find the debris that drives system inefficiency and indoor air quality complaints.
Full System Cleaning
For properties facing combined loading, rural and urban, we recommend full system cleaning that treats supply and return sides, the plenum, and the air handler as an integrated system. In New Braunfels, this is the standard recommendation for homes within two miles of the Comal River, where humidity and pollen create dual contamination, and for any property on unpaved roads where caliche grit accelerates wear. The full system service includes a Documented Photo Record of every component and a written scope signed before work begins.
Video Inspection
Our video inspection service uses camera-equipped tools to document conditions inside ductwork before any cleaning commitment. For New Braunfels homeowners debating whether cleaning is needed, or for real estate transactions common in this fast-growing market, the video record provides verifiable evidence of contamination levels, duct integrity, and any mold growth. The inspection fee applies toward cleaning if scheduled within 30 days.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in New Braunfels
CleanRun carries professional-grade equipment from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies, brands that publish specifications customers can verify independently. We stock filters, media, and replacement components sized for the systems common in New Braunfels’s 2000s-and-newer housing stock, which reduces wait time for parts and lets us complete most jobs in a single visit. For rural properties with specialized filtration needs, we source Honeywell and Aprilaire HEPA upgrades configured to the higher particle loads from caliche roads and cedar pollen. Equipment selection is specified in the written scope, not chosen after arrival.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in New Braunfels Homes
- Skipping post-cedar-season cleaning. Fine Ashe juniper pollen infiltrates the return side in December through February and packs into ductwork. Waiting past spring lets it cake into a layer that agitation tools struggle to break loose, and by summer the material has absorbed enough river-corridor humidity to adhere to duct walls.
- Treating rural properties on the same 3-to-5-year cycle as subdivisions. Unpaved-road grit and wood-heat ash from Hill Country properties load ducts far faster. A once-a-decade clean misses the abrasive mineral layer that scores blower housings and reduces motor life.
- Ignoring river-corridor humidity. Near Landa Park and the Comal, damp duct interiors grow mold colonies in supply boots and flex duct even in newer construction. A surface wipe without source removal leaves spores behind to recolonize within months.
- Assuming new construction is clean. Homes built in Veramendi, Forest Ridge, and Gruene area developments from 2015 forward frequently contain construction-phase drywall dust, insulation debris, and sawdust that standard HVAC filters never captured. First-cycle cleaning often removes material that has been circulating since move-in.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in New Braunfels
Every 18 to 24 months. Unpaved caliche roads and open pasture land load return ducts with fine mineral grit that behaves differently than organic cedar pollen, so ducts on these properties accumulate a denser, more abrasive layer in roughly half the time of in-town homes. The grit also scores blower motor housings and reduces evaporator coil efficiency if left in place. Call (830) 549-6847 to schedule a video inspection and set a cleaning interval matched to your property’s loading.
Yes. New Braunfels sits squarely in the Ashe juniper belt, and the December-February pollen season is among the most intense in Texas. Fine particles infiltrate HVAC systems through return grilles and pack into ductwork, where they combine with river-corridor humidity to form adhered layers. Post-cedar-season cleaning, typically scheduled March through May, removes this material before it sets. Waiting until summer makes removal more labor-intensive and more expensive.
The spring-fed Comal River and the associated groundwater create persistent localized humidity that pools in duct interiors, especially in supply boots and flex duct runs. Properties within a few blocks of Landa Park run AC almost year-round against this moisture, and the cool metal surfaces inside ducts provide condensation points for mold spore germination. This pattern does not show up the same way in comparable homes toward Canyon Lake, where drier Hill Country air limits mold pressure even in similar construction.
Probably. New Braunfels’s dominant 2000s-2020s housing stock frequently contains construction-phase drywall dust, insulation debris, and sawdust that standard HVAC filters never captured. We’ve cleaned ducts in Veramendi homes less than three years old that contained visible construction residue. A video inspection will verify whether your system is circulating this material or has already cleared it through normal operation.
Yes. Our rural property work follows the same source-removal protocol, with negative-pressure extraction and agitation tools sized to the system. Outbuilding systems, whether shop HVAC or guest house mini-splits with ducted air handlers, receive the same Documented Photo Record and written scope as main residence work. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to all locations on the property. Call (830) 549-6847 to discuss multi-structure scheduling.
The CleanRun Difference in New Braunfels
At a property off FM 306 near the Gruene area, our tech pulled the return grille and found a mat of cedar pollen and caliche dust packed against the blower motor, with a faint mildew smell in the flex supply runs feeding the back bedrooms. We set the system under negative pressure, ran agitation tools through the supply and return ducts, and camera-inspected the trunk line before adding a Honeywell HEPA filtration drop. The homeowner noted the musty odor cleared within a day. This is what we mean by documented work: the photo record showed the contamination, the written scope specified the remedy, and the result was verifiable.
CleanRun has served 52,000+ homes since 2013, every one with a written price before work started and a Documented Photo Record when the crew left. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing on every job. Our technicians operate under the H.A.V.E.N. Standard, with background checks, uniforms, and name identification before arrival.
