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.

AfterAbatement Technologies Duct Repair & Sealing in Fort Worth: What to Know First
We provide independent Abatement Technologies duct repair & sealing in Fort Worth, with most jobs completed in a single scheduled visit and a written price delivered before any work begins. As an independent Abatement Technologies service provider, we carry OEM-compatible parts and quality aftermarket alternatives for the product lines most common in Tarrant County homes, including the HEPA-AIRE and PREDATOR series. Typical turnaround from call to completion is 3-5 business days for standard repairs; we do not offer same-day dispatch because proper diagnosis takes time we won’t skip. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires a written price before a single panel comes off, and that’s what you’ll get. Call (817) 520-8797 for a free estimate.
How Abatement Technologies Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- HEPA-AIRE portable units with flex duct runs: The corrugated flex duct used in these negative-air setups fatigues at the collar connections after repeated relocation. We see this in Fort Worth’s older Near Southside homes where crews have moved units through tight attic hatches. We replace with reinforced flex or transition to solid metal duct where space allows, then seal with mastic rated for the pressure cycle.
- PREDATOR 1500 series plenum seams: The galvanized plenum on these units can separate at the corner seams when subjected to the thermal swing common in Fort Worth’s unconditioned attics - 140°F in August, near-freezing in January. We reseat the seam, apply fiberglass-reinforced mastic sealant, and pressure-test before closing.
- Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration canister gaskets: The silicone gaskets on PAS2400 and PAS5000 canisters harden after 3-4 years in Texas heat, creating bypass leakage that defeats the filtration purpose. We stock replacement gaskets and verify seal integrity with a smoke pencil test - a step the manufacturer manual mentions but many installers skip.
- Return air trunk connections on Abatement Technologies-integrated systems: In Fort Worth’s 2015-2020 build wave, we see duct board return trunks pulling away from the unit cabinet due to inadequate support strapping during original construction. We install supplemental hangers and reseal with water-based duct mastic, not foil tape, which fails in attic heat within two years.
- Abatement Technologies exhaust flex on commercial negative-air jobs: The 12-inch flex exhaust runs on portable containment units abrade where they contact roof joists or rafters in Fort Worth’s low-slope commercial spaces. We sleeve the contact point with metal elbow or install a suspended support to eliminate the wear point.
Our Abatement Technologies Duct Repair & Sealing Process
- 1
Visual and camera inspection. We run a borescope through every accessible duct run and photograph the plenum, trunk lines, and branch connections. The camera doesn’t have a sales pitch - if the footage shows intact seams, we say so.
- 2
Pressure differential test. We measure static pressure across the Abatement Technologies unit and compare to manufacturer specs. A reading outside 0.5 inches WC on the HEPA-AIRE line typically indicates leakage downstream.
- 3
Written scope and price. Haven Standard Clause 1: you receive a written price for the exact repair before work starts. No per-vent pricing, no add-ons after the truck arrives.
- 4
Parts selection. We use OEM Abatement Technologies gaskets and collars when available; for flex duct and mastic, we specify trade-grade alternatives from Nikro or Guardsman that meet or exceed OEM thermal ratings.
- 5
Repair and seal. We repair or replace damaged sections, seal all joints with mastic, and install mechanical supports where flex connects to rigid duct.
- 6
Post-repair verification. We retest static pressure, run the smoke pencil on every sealed joint, and deliver your Documented Photo Record showing before, during, and after - included on every visit since 2013.

Why Fort Worth Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Fort Worth for Abatement Technologies Work
We’ve been running jobs across Fort Worth since 2013, including plenty of work in established neighborhoods like the Near Southside where older homes hold onto decades of debris in ways newer builds don’t. Tomas Reyes, our owner, started in the trades at Bronx Community College and learned what actually accumulates in duct systems when nobody’s watching.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and they’re trained on Abatement Technologies product lines alongside Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the repair fails, we make it right - backed in writing, not subject to manager approval. Every job concludes with a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, delivered as a standard deliverable. You can verify our equipment roster - Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, Honeywell, Aprilaire, Guardsman - before you agree to a price.
FAQs
No, independent repair does not automatically void the warranty, provided the work does not damage the unit and uses parts meeting manufacturer specifications. We document every part source and installation detail so warranty coverage on unaffected components remains intact. Call (817) 520-8797 if you need help navigating a warranty claim alongside repair work.
Repair is viable when the damage is localized - a separated seam, a single failed flex run, a gasket leak - and the remaining ductwork tests within pressure spec. We recommend replacement when we find systemic corrosion, multiple previous patches, or duct board that has degraded to the point of structural failure. Our camera inspection shows you exactly which category you’re in before any price is discussed.
We stock OEM gaskets, collars, and hardware for current Abatement Technologies lines. For flex duct, mastic, and support components, we use quality aftermarket from Nikro and Guardsman that matches or exceeds OEM thermal and pressure ratings. We specify the source of every part in your written scope so you know what you’re paying for.
Properly applied mastic sealant on supported duct joints typically holds 10-15 years in Fort Worth’s attic conditions. The failure point we see is almost always inadequate original support - flex pulling at the connection - not the sealant itself. We address the mechanical issue and the seal, which is why our repair work carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Most standard repairs are scheduled within 3-5 business days. We do not rush diagnostics to hit an artificial timeline; the camera inspection and pressure test happen before the price, and both take the time they take. Call (817) 520-8797 for a free estimate and we’ll give you a specific date based on current workload.
