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 Air Duct Cleaning in Marietta: What to Know First
CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Marietta provides independent Rotobrush air duct cleaning for homeowners in Marietta and nearby areas, with most residential systems completed in a single scheduled visit. We deliver a written price before any work starts - Haven Standard Clause 1 - and every duct run is photographed before and after. Typical whole-system Rotobrush cleaning in Marietta runs $380-$620 for homes under 3,500 square feet, with larger or heavily restricted systems scaling from there. Call (470) 516-9337 for a free written estimate you can compare against any competitor’s quote.
This page is for homeowners who already own Rotobrush equipment - whether it’s the portable Roto-Vision inspection line, the BrushBeast series, or a contractor-installed Rotobrush central system - and need cleaning or repair work done by technicians who understand how these machines are built, not just how to run a vacuum hose through a register.
How Rotobrush Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- BrushBeast motor housing cracks from thermal cycling. The BrushBeast’s high-torque motor generates significant heat during extended Marietta summer runs, and the ABS housing can develop stress fractures near the exhaust vent after 800+ hours of use. We see this most in East Cobb homes where the unit runs attic-mounted through 95-degree July afternoons. Our fix: inspect the housing with a borescope, replace with OEM or reinforced aftermarket housing, and reroute exhaust airflow where possible to reduce ambient heat exposure.
- Roto-Vision camera cable sheath failure at the strain relief. The Roto-Vision’s 50-foot push cable uses a vinyl sheath that stiffens in unconditioned crawl spaces during Marietta’s winter temperature swings. Repeated flexing at the handle strain relief causes internal wire fractures - the image flickers or drops entirely. We splice with marine-grade cable where the break permits, or replace the full push cable assembly. The camera doesn’t lie - and neither does the invoice - so we show you the sheath damage before recommending either path.
- Beast-series brush head detachment from set-screw walk. The quick-change brush coupler on Beast machines relies on a single 5/32″ set screw against a keyed shaft. Under load in rectangular metal ductwork with built-up Georgia clay dust, vibration can walk the screw loose. We find the brush head wedged at the first elbow in about one in twelve Marietta jobs. Our fix: retrieve the head with a retrieval snake, inspect the shaft for scarring, and reinstall with thread-locking compound plus a witness mark for future inspection.
- Flex-duct adapter seal degradation on contractor-installed central units. Rotobrush central systems installed by builders in subdivisions like Westside Station and Walton Grove use neoprene flex-duct adapters that degrade after 6-10 years of ozone and humidity exposure. The seal loosens, suction drops, and the unit works harder for less debris removal. We replace with silicone-lined adapters rated for Georgia’s UV and ozone load, pressure-test the plenum connection, and document the before/after static pressure reading in your job record.
- Control board capacitor bulge on pre-2018 units. Early Rotobrush control boards used 85°C rated capacitors that fail predictably in Marietta’s extended cooling season, when attic temperatures exceed 130°F for weeks at a stretch. Symptoms: intermittent startup, motor hesitation, or a burning electronics smell from the canister. We replace with 105°C rated equivalents, verify amperage draw under load, and flag the unit for annual capacitor inspection going forward.
Our Rotobrush Air Duct Cleaning Process
- 1
Written estimate delivered on arrival. We inspect accessible registers, the plenum (the main distribution box where your trunk lines connect), and the Rotobrush unit itself. The price is fixed per system before any panel comes off - Haven Standard Clause 1.
- 2
Video inspection of every duct run. We feed a camera scope through each supply and return line, recording debris type, restriction points, and any mechanical damage to the Rotobrush equipment. You see what we see in real time.
- 3
Parts decision: OEM or verified aftermarket. For warranty-active Rotobrush units, we use OEM parts to preserve coverage. For out-of-warranty machines, we source quality aftermarket equivalents from our Nikro and Abatement Technologies inventory - same specs, documented origin, lower cost. We write the choice and reasoning on your scope sheet.
- 4
Negative-pressure extraction with brush agitation. We connect a Nikro HEPA-filtered collector to your Rotobrush or our own equipment, agitate debris with the appropriate brush head for your duct material, and extract under controlled negative pressure so nothing escapes into your living space.
- 5
Post-clean verification and photo record. We re-camera every run, compare before/after images side by side, and deliver the full photo record as a standard job deliverable. Static pressure and airflow readings are recorded if your system permits access.
- 6
365-Day Done Right Promise activated. The written guarantee goes into your file. If airflow, odor, or visible debris returns because of our work, we make it right - no manager approval required.

FAQs
Will cleaning my Rotobrush system void the manufacturer warranty?
No - routine cleaning by a qualified technician does not void Rotobrush warranty coverage, provided OEM parts are used for any repairs and the work is documented. We note all part numbers and serials on your scope sheet to preserve warranty traceability. For warranty-active units, we source OEM components exclusively. Call (470) 516-9337 if you need help determining your warranty status.
How do I know the duct cleaning was actually done?
Every duct run is photographed before and after, and the images are delivered as part of your standard job record - not upon request, not for an extra fee. You see the 3-inch debris build-up at the first elbow, and you see the same elbow after extraction. This has been our practice since our first job in 2013.
Should I repair my Rotobrush unit or replace it entirely?
Replacement makes sense when cumulative repair estimates exceed 60% of comparable new equipment cost, or when the unit has suffered motor housing failure combined with electrical board damage. For isolated failures - a single bad capacitor, one degraded adapter, a lost brush head - repair is typically the better value. We write both paths on your estimate when both are viable. Call (470) 516-9337 for a written comparison.
How long does a typical Rotobrush cleaning take?
Most residential systems in Marietta are completed in 3-5 hours of scheduled, on-site work. Larger homes, heavy debris restriction, or retrieval work for detached brush heads can extend this. We do not quote dispatch speed or same-day guarantees - duct cleaning is a scheduled job, and speed is not why anyone buys it.
Why are some duct cleaning quotes so much cheaper than yours?
The $79 coupon model relies on arriving with a shop-vac, spending 45 minutes, and finding “mold” or “extra vents” to upsell on-site. We arrive with professional-grade equipment - Rotobrush, Nikro HEPA collectors, borescope cameras - spend the time the system actually needs, and deliver a written price that does not change after the truck is parked. The photo record proves the difference.
