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.
Rotobrush Duct Repair & Sealing in Marietta: What to Know First
CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Marietta provides independent Rotobrush duct repair and sealing in Marietta with written upfront pricing and same-week scheduling for most calls. A typical Rotobrush repair runs $280-$580 depending on whether we’re sealing a plenum junction, patching a flex-duct tear, or replacing a damaged register boot. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Rotobrush; we are an independent service provider that works on the equipment Marietta homeowners already own.
This page is for homeowners in East Cobb, West Cobb, and around the Marietta Square who need their Rotobrush air duct system repaired or sealed properly, with documentation they can verify. Call (470) 516-9337 for a free written estimate.
How Rotobrush Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Rotobrush BrushBeast series: drive cable housing separation at the plenum entry point. The BrushBeast’s aggressive brush torque puts lateral stress on the flexible cable housing where it enters the main plenum. In Marietta homes built 2015-2020, we’ve found the factory clamp loosens after 40-60 hours of runtime, creating a 3-6 mm gap that leaks conditioned air into the attic. We remove the clamp, inspect the housing ferrule for deformation, and reinstall with a mastic-sealed stainless clamp rated for negative-pressure extraction (the suction force used during duct cleaning that can pull weak seals apart).
- Rotobrush aiR+ XP: flex-duct collar tearing at the main trunk connection. The aiR+ XP’s lighter vacuum head reduces neck strain for technicians, but the reduced mass means more vibration transfers to the flex-duct collar during operation. In humid Marietta summers, the collar adhesive degrades faster than in drier climates. We cut back to sound material, install a new metal collar with mechanical fasteners, and seal with mastic sealant (a thick, brush-applied paste that hardens to an airtight finish) rather than foil tape alone.
- Rotobrush Beast series: return-air plenum seal failure after filter neglect. The Beast’s high airflow pulls harder on the return plenum when filters clog, and Marietta’s pollen season (February through May) accelerates this. We document the pressure differential with a manometer, reseal the plenum with fiberglass-reinforced mastic, and note the filter schedule on the written job record.
- Rotobrush aiR+ standard: brush head jam causing duct run puncture. The aiR+’s smaller diameter brush can snag on a loose screw or damper tab, stall the motor, and snap the flexible shaft forward. We’ve pulled aiR+ heads out of Marietta ducts with 2-inch punctures in galvanized steel runs. We patch with sheet metal and rivets, seal with mastic, and inspect the full run with a camera scope before returning the unit to service.
- Rotobrush all series: register boot separation in crawl spaces. Rotobrush units don’t cause this, but they reveal it. The vibration and negative pressure expose existing gaps where the register boot meets the subfloor. In Marietta’s clay-heavy soils, seasonal settling cracks the mastic seal. We reseat the boot, foam-seal to the subfloor, and apply mastic at the duct junction. The camera doesn’t lie - and neither does the invoice.
Our Rotobrush Duct Repair & Sealing Process

- 1
Written estimate on arrival. We inspect the Rotobrush unit and duct system with a camera scope, identify the failure, and deliver a written price before any panel comes off. Haven Standard Clause 1: No surprises.

Parts decision: OEM or verified aftermarket. For BrushBeast and Beast series, we stock OEM clamps and housings. For discontinued aiR+ components, we source aftermarket parts that match the torque and pressure specs, documented in writing.
- 3
Repair and seal. We execute the repair - patch, replace, or reseat - then seal all joints with mastic or mechanical fasteners as appropriate. Every duct run is photographed before and after.
- 4
Pressure test and airflow verification. We run the Rotobrush unit and verify no leaks with a smoke pencil or manometer, depending on the repair type.
- 5
Deliver the documented photo record. Before-and-after photos of every duct run, plus the written scope and warranty, are provided as standard deliverables. Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews - background-checked, uniformed technicians identified by name.

FAQs
No - duct repair and sealing performed by a qualified technician does not void Rotobrush’s equipment warranty, which covers manufacturing defects, not installation or maintenance issues. We document our work with photos and written scope so any future warranty claim on the unit itself remains clean. Call (470) 516-9337 if you need clarification on your specific model year.
Replace when the camera shows rust-through in galvanized trunk lines, multiple punctures in a single run, or flexible duct that has collapsed internally and cannot be restored to full diameter. Repair when the damage is localized to collars, boots, or seal points. We show you the camera footage and write both options where applicable. Call (470) 516-9337 for a free second opinion on any estimate.
Some aiR+ components are discontinued from Rotobrush directly, but we source verified aftermarket clamps, housings, and brushes that match the original torque and pressure specifications. We note OEM vs. aftermarket on the written estimate so you decide before work starts. Call (470) 516-9337 for parts availability on your specific model.
Most repairs run 2-4 hours from arrival to cleanup, depending on access and whether we find secondary issues during inspection. We schedule a half-day block and communicate if the scope changes. Call (470) 516-9337 to book a slot.
We deliver before-and-after photos of every duct run as a standard deliverable, not an upsell. The photo record is dated, includes the technician’s name under Haven Standard Clause 3, and shows the specific repair location. If we sealed it, you’ll see the mastic. If we patched it, you’ll see the metal. No summaries, no trust-me language.
