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 Air Duct Cleaning in San Antonio: What to Know First
We provide independent Abatement Technologies air duct cleaning in San Antonio, typically completing residential systems in one scheduled visit with a written price delivered before any panel comes off. Most Abatement Technologies systems we encounter run between $340 and $620 for a full supply-and-return cleaning, depending on duct layout and accessibility. The camera goes in first. Then we talk.
This page is for San Antonio homeowners who own Abatement Technologies air filtration or duct-mounted equipment and need cleaning work that won’t void their warranty or leave debris behind. We’re not affiliated with Abatement Technologies - we’re an independent service provider - and we’ve worked on their PREDATOR, HEPA-AIRE, and ABATRON lines across Alamo Heights, Stone Oak, and the 1604 corridor since 2013. Call (726) 600-7155 for a written estimate with no obligation.
How Abatement Technologies Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- PREDATOR 600 series portable air scrubbers: The inline duct adapter gaskets harden in San Antonio’s heat and UV exposure, creating bypass leakage that dumps unfiltered return air back into the plenum. We replace with EPDM-rated gaskets rated for 180°F continuous service and photograph the seal compression before restarting the unit.
- HEPA-AIRE SAH2 negative air machines: The pleated pre-filter housing warps when subjected to repeated San Antonio humidity cycles above 75% RH, allowing unseated filters that whistle at the collar joint. Our crews torque the housing bolts to 25 in-lbs and add a witness mark so the next tech can spot loosening.
- ABATRON 2000 duct-mounted HEPA units: The 24-volt damper actuator linkage binds with dust accumulation at the first elbow downstream of the unit, typically in homes near Leon Springs where caliche dust is abrasive. We pull the actuator, clean the linkage bore with a bore brush, and scope the duct run 36 inches past the unit to confirm free travel.
- PREDATOR 1200 commercial units: The secondary HEPA filter frame develops galvanic corrosion where the aluminum frame meets the steel cabinet in homes with whole-home dehumidifiers running aggressive setpoints. We document frame integrity with photos and source 304 stainless replacement frames from our parts stock rather than waiting on OEM backorder.
- HEPA-AIRE portable units with flex duct return: The flex duct itself collapses at the unit inlet when negative pressure exceeds 0.5 inches w.c., a common issue in San Antonio tract homes where flex duct was installed with excessive runs. We measure static pressure at the unit collar and replace collapsed sections with reinforced wire-helix flex rated for the actual operating pressure.
Our Abatement Technologies Air Duct Cleaning Process
- 1
Video inspection with written scope: We feed a camera scope through every accessible duct run, starting at the plenum, and note debris depth, obstruction type, and any Abatement Technologies component condition. The customer receives these stills before any price is discussed.
- 2
Written price under Haven Standard Clause 1: We deliver a flat price per system, not per vent, with line items for Abatement Technologies-specific parts if needed. No work begins until the customer initials the scope.
- 3
Negative-pressure extraction: We connect a Nikro or Abatement Technologies-compatible negative air machine to the trunk line, establish containment at each register, and agitate debris with Rotobrush contact cleaning or compressed air whips depending on duct material.
- 4
Component-specific cleaning: Abatement Technologies HEPA housings, damper actuators, and filter frames are cleaned by hand with manufacturer-compatible solvents - never pressure-washed, which voids the gasket warranty.
- 5
Post-clean verification: We re-scope every run, capture after photos, and test static pressure across the Abatement Technologies unit to confirm it’s pulling within manufacturer spec. The photo record and pressure readings are delivered as standard.
- 6
365-Day Done Right Promise activation: The written guarantee is dated and signed before we leave. If debris returns or a gasket fails, we make it right.
BeforeAfterWhat Abatement Technologies Air Duct Cleaning Costs in San Antonio
| Service | Typical Range | What Moves the Price |
|---|---|---|
| Single-system residential cleaning (supply + return) | $340 - $480 | Number of duct runs, attic vs. crawlspace access, presence of Abatement Technologies inline filtration requiring disassembly |
| Residential with ABATRON or PREDATOR unit cleaning | $420 - $620 | Filter frame removal, actuator access, gasket replacement if hardened |
| Commercial PREDATOR 1200 service | $580 - $890 | Duct diameter, number of HEPA stages, after-hours access requirements |
| Video inspection only (no cleaning) | $125 - $175 | System size, number of access points needed |
Price drivers specific to San Antonio: homes near the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone often have higher humidity and more biological growth in ductwork, adding 30-60 minutes of contact time. Flex duct in 2015-2020 builds near Stone Oak frequently requires extra access cuts. Every estimate is free, written, and valid for 30 days. Call (726) 600-7155.

FAQs
No, provided the work is done without disassembling sealed HEPA housings or using high-pressure water on electrical components. We follow Abatement Technologies’ published service guidelines for filter replacement and housing access, and we document our methods in your job record. If a warranty question arises, you have written proof of compliant service. Call (726) 600-7155 for specifics on your model.
Filter changes are homeowner-maintenance items; duct cleaning addresses debris downstream of the unit. If your PREDATOR or HEPA-AIRE unit runs continuously but rooms still smell musty, or if the unit’s amp draw has risen 15% or more from baseline, the ductwork likely needs extraction. We scope it and show you. Call (726) 600-7155 for a free inspection.
We stock common gaskets, frames, and actuators for PREDATOR 600/1200 and HEPA-AIRE SAH2 units. For discontinued ABATRON 1000-series parts, we source quality aftermarket components that meet or exceed OEM specifications and note the substitution in writing. We never install a part we can’t stand behind for 365 days. Call (726) 600-7155 to confirm availability for your model.
Most residential systems with one Abatement Technologies unit require 3.5 to 5 hours from arrival to final photo delivery. Commercial PREDATOR 1200 installations with multiple HEPA stages run 6 to 8 hours. We schedule a specific arrival window, not a four-hour block, and we call 30 minutes out under Haven Standard Clause 2: Confirmed Arrival.
The $79 coupon model typically covers a shop-vac at the register and a bill for “additional services” once the crew is inside. Our price is the price - one flat fee per system, agreed in writing, with every duct run photographed before and after. The photo record alone takes 45 minutes; the discount model skips it entirely. Call (726) 600-7155 and we’ll put our written estimate next to any competitor’s, free.
