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 Duct Repair & Sealing in Atlanta: What to Know First
We provide independent Rotobrush duct repair and sealing in Atlanta, typically completing jobs within one business day of your scheduled appointment. A written flat price, usually $249 to $399 depending on system size and access, is delivered before any panel comes off. We’re not affiliated with Rotobrush - we’re an independent service provider with twelve years of documented repair work on their equipment across metro Atlanta, from Buckhead ranch homes to the split-levels near Cascade Heights where flex duct runs long and the debris tells its own story. If you own a Rotobrush air duct cleaning system and need the connected ductwork sealed, repaired, or reinsulated, call (470) 495-9370. Estimates are free, and we put our number next to any competitor’s written quote.
How Rotobrush Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Beast series vacuum motor seal degradation. The Beast 850 and 1175 models run hot in Atlanta’s crawl spaces, and the motor-housing gasket hardens after 18-24 months of summer humidity cycles. We replace with a high-temp silicone seal rated for continuous 180°F operation, not the standard OEM neoprene that rehardens within two seasons.
- Brush bar bearing corrosion in older Classic II units. The forward bearing sits directly behind the brush head, and condensation from ductwork - common in Atlanta’s shoulder seasons when AC meets humid intake air - washes lubricant out. We repack with moisture-displacing synthetic grease and sleeve the shaft with a stainless spacer where pitting has started.
- Flex-duct collar separation on portable Roto-Vac connections. The Roto-Vac’s quick-connect collar relies on a friction fit that loosens with repeated attachment cycles. We find this most often in rental properties where multiple operators connect and disconnect daily. Our fix: a permanent hose clamp anchor with a reinforced collar, or full collar replacement with an Abatement Technologies snap-lock fitting where the duct run allows.
- Negative-pressure hose abrasion at plenum entry points. The 2.5-inch extraction hose on Beast and Classic lines vibrates against rough-cut sheet metal edges, especially in older Atlanta homes with original galvanized ductwork. We sleeve the entry with a Guardsman abrasion guard and seal the gap with mastic, not tape - tape fails in attic heat within two years.
- Control box moisture intrusion in crawl-mounted units. Atlanta’s clay-heavy soils hold groundwater close to the surface, and the Beast series control box lacks a factory drain weep. We retrofit a sealed NEMA-rated enclosure with passive venting, or relocate the control assembly to conditioned space when the duct layout permits.
Our Rotobrush Duct Repair & Sealing Process
- 1
Written price before work starts. Haven Standard Clause 1: we inspect the system, identify the failure, and deliver a flat price in writing. No per-vent add-ons, no “once we’re in there” surprises.
- 2
Photo documentation of existing condition. Every duct run is camera-inspected before a tool moves. Tomas Reyes started this practice in 2013, and it hasn’t changed - the camera doesn’t negotiate.
- 3
Parts decision with owner input. OEM Rotobrush brush bars and seals are available, but for certain wear items we stock quality aftermarket equivalents from Guardsman and Nikro that meet or exceed factory spec at lower replacement cost. We show you both options, with warranty implications, and you choose.
- 4
Repair, seal, and reinsulate as needed. Metal ductwork gets mastic sealant at every joint; flex duct gets collar replacement or full run swap; insulation gets restored with foil-faced fiberglass rated for Atlanta attic temperatures.
- 5
Post-repair pressure test and photo record. We run a static pressure check to verify the repair held, then photograph every completed run. The photo record and written scope are delivered before we leave.
- 6
365-Day Done Right Promise activation. Backed in writing. If the seal fails, the collar loosens, or the pressure drops, we return and make it right.

Why Atlanta Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Atlanta for Rotobrush Work
We’ve been running jobs across Atlanta since 2013, and the older split-level homes near Cascade Heights taught us what happens when flex duct runs long and filters get skipped. Our crew is background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and Tomas Reyes or a named senior tech walks every job before the price is written. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is not a policy subject to manager approval - it’s a written guarantee on every invoice. Our equipment roster - Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, Honeywell, Aprilaire, Guardsman - is published so you can verify what touches your ductwork before agreeing to anything. All 52,000-plus homes in our record started with a written price and ended with before-and-after photos. No exceptions.
FAQs
No. Rotobrush warranties cover their equipment, not the attached ductwork. As an independent Rotobrush service provider, we repair the ducts and seals that connect to your unit without altering factory components. If your Beast or Roto-Vac itself needs warranty service, we document our work so Rotobrush can verify no unit modifications were made.
Replace when the inner liner is torn, the wire helix is exposed, or insulation is compressed below R-6 equivalent. Repair when the damage is limited to collar separation or minor abrasion at entry points. We show you the camera footage and quote both paths - Haven Standard Clause 1 requires the price in writing before you decide.
We stock both. OEM brush bars, seals, and bearings are available with full factory warranty. For certain wear items - the Beast motor gasket, Classic II bearing sets - we also carry Guardsman and Nikro equivalents that we’ve field-tested in Atlanta humidity. We show you both, with price and warranty, and you choose before work starts.
Typically within two business days, sometimes next-day depending on route. We don’t promise same-day dispatch - duct repair is scheduled work, and we allocate time to photograph every run and test every seal. Call (470) 495-9370 for current availability; estimates are free.
We measure static pressure before and after repair, and the photo record shows every sealed joint. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if pressure drops or a seal fails within a year, we return and correct it at no charge. The documentation is yours to keep - part of the standard job record on every visit since 2013.
