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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Cibolo
Air duct cleaning in Cibolo typically runs $380-$720 for a full residential system, with most homes in the area falling between $450-$580 due to standard tract-home layouts and long flex-duct runs through unconditioned attics. We’re usually scheduling 2-4 days out for Cibolo properties, with dispatch coordinated from our San Antonio office and crews working Cibolo routes daily. Call (726) 600-7155 for a written estimate before any work starts - that’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and it’s how we’ve operated since 2013.
Our Air Duct Cleaning team knows Cibolo’s housing stock intimately. We’ve worked in Bentwood Ranch, Turnberry, and the neighborhoods along Cibolo Valley Drive. These aren’t generic suburban floor plans to us. We know which builders used which duct configurations, where the flex-duct joints tend to fail, and what construction debris we expect to find based on build year.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning San Antonio Is Cibolo’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve served Cibolo homeowners since the brand’s founding in 2013, and the pattern is consistent: most residents moved into a home that looked move-in ready while the ductwork still contained construction debris from the original build. Our 52,000+ documented jobs include hundreds in Cibolo, and our crew has built a local reputation for finding what other cleanings miss - disconnected joints, insulation infiltration, and layered debris from multiple prior occupants.
Reviews from Cibolo customers consistently cite the photo record as the deciding factor. One homeowner in Turnberry wrote that seeing the before image of a 2-inch drywall dust buildup at the plenum - the main distribution box where all duct runs connect - made the need obvious in a way that a verbal pitch never could. Another in Bentwood Ranch noted that our technician identified a disconnected return duct that had been driving up their summer electric bill for three years.
Response time to Cibolo is typically next-day or within 48 hours for standard scheduling. We don’t manufacture urgency. Duct cleaning is a scheduled, diagnostic job, and we treat it that way. What we do promise is this: a background-checked, uniformed technician who arrives with a name badge and a camera, delivers a written price before touching a single panel, and leaves with a documented photo record of every duct run.
Our local knowledge extends to the specific failure modes of Cibolo’s housing stock. We know that Blackland Prairie clay soils create ongoing foundation movement in slab-on-grade homes, and we know which early-2000s subdivisions show the highest rates of flex-duct joint separation. This isn’t generic expertise. It’s the result of documented work in Cibolo homes, year after year.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Cibolo
Residential Duct Cleaning
Cibolo’s residential market is almost entirely post-2000 tract homes built during one of the fastest growth periods of any US city. Production builders completed these homes rapidly, and ductwork cleaning was rarely part of the punch list. We routinely find drywall dust, blown-insulation particulate, and sawdust in supply and return ducts of homes built as recently as 2020. Our residential cleaning uses negative-pressure extraction - a sealed suction method that pulls debris from the ductwork without releasing it into the living space - and every run is photographed before and after.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Cibolo’s commercial growth along FM 1103 and the Cibolo Crossing corridor has brought retail, medical, and office spaces that share the same construction-debris problem as residential, often compounded by longer intervals between maintenance. Our commercial crews work after hours to avoid disrupting operations, and we deliver the same documented photo record and written price guarantee that our residential customers receive.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from your air handler to each room register. In Cibolo homes, these are typically long flex-duct runs through unconditioned attics - the configuration most vulnerable to joint separation from foundation movement. When a joint pulls apart, attic air and loose insulation bypass the filter and enter the supply stream. Our supply duct cleaning includes camera inspection of each run to identify these breaches, not just surface cleaning of accessible sections.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler for reconditioning. In Cibolo’s newer homes, return pathways are often framed in wall cavities and ceiling chases that collect construction debris where no homeowner can see it. Our return cleaning includes the return plenum, filter housing, and all accessible trunk lines, with photography at each stage. If we find a design that restricts airflow - common in production-built homes where return capacity was minimized to cut cost - we document it and note it in your written job record.
Full System Cleaning
A full system cleaning addresses supply ducts, return ducts, the plenum, registers, grilles, and the air handler cabinet. For Cibolo homes, this is often the right first service. The combination of construction debris in new builds and layered neglect across multiple owners means partial cleaning leaves significant contamination in place. We quote full system cleaning as a flat price per system - one price for the complete HVAC duct network, not a per-vent tally that balloons at the door.
Video Inspection
Our video inspection service uses a camera-equipped probe to document the interior condition of ductwork before any cleaning decision is made. In Cibolo, this is particularly valuable for pre-purchase evaluation - especially for military families PCSing to Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph who need to assess a home’s duct condition before committing. The video becomes part of your documented record and can be reviewed with our technician on site.

Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush brush-and-vac systems for mechanical agitation in flex-duct applications, Nikro negative-air machines for sealed extraction, and Honeywell media filtration for air handler upgrades. We also install Aprilaire whole-home air cleaners where the existing system design supports integration. These are trade-recognized brands, not proprietary equipment, and customers can verify specifications independently before approving any work. For Cibolo homeowners, this means replacement parts and upgrade paths remain available through standard HVAC supply channels - no dependency on a single vendor.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Cibolo Homes
- Construction debris in “new” homes. Production builders in Cibolo’s master-planned communities rarely clean ductwork after construction. Drywall dust, sawdust, and insulation particulate remain in supply and return ducts at handover. We’ve found 3-inch debris buildup at first elbows in homes less than five years old.
- Flex-duct joint separation from soil movement. Cibolo’s Blackland Prairie expansive clay soils cause continuous foundation movement in slab-on-grade tract homes. This gradually pulls apart flex-duct joints in unconditioned attics, creating hidden breaches that let attic insulation fibers and outdoor air contaminate the supply side. The homeowner sees dust and rising electric bills; the cause is in the attic.
- Layered debris from rapid turnover. Military PCS orders through Randolph Air Force Base mean Cibolo homes change hands every 2-3 years. Duct cleaning almost never happens between owners. Debris from multiple prior occupants accumulates silently, and registers are often painted shut or damaged during quick move-out cleanings.
- Pollen loading during Cedar Fever season. Cibolo sits in the Ashe juniper belt, and HVAC systems pull enormous pollen loads during December through February. Six-plus months of continuous AC operation in South Texas humidity then creates conditions favorable for mold and biofilm growth inside ductwork year-round.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Cibolo
Yes, and likely more than an older home. Production builders in Cibolo’s rapid-growth cycle rarely cleaned ductwork before certificate of occupancy. Drywall dust, sawdust, and blown-insulation particulate routinely remain trapped from the original build. We find construction debris in Cibolo homes built as recently as 2022. The camera doesn’t lie - call (726) 600-7155 for a video inspection and written estimate.
The dust is coming from your ductwork, not your windows. In Cibolo’s tract homes, two patterns dominate: construction debris in the supply ducts that recirculates with every HVAC cycle, or a disconnected flex-duct joint in the attic that’s pulling in loose insulation and unfiltered attic air. We recently serviced a 2006-built home in the Bentwood Ranch subdivision off Cibolo Valley Drive. The homeowner’s complaint was dust on furniture within days of cleaning and a 15% jump in summer electric bills. Using camera inspection, our tech found a disconnected flex-duct joint in the attic that had been pulling in loose-fill insulation and attic air for years. After reconnecting the joint, performing source removal on the entire supply and return system under negative pressure, and installing HEPA filtration on the air handler, the dust issue stopped and airflow readings returned to spec. Call (726) 600-7155 - we’ll find the source, photograph it, and fix it.
Yes. Cibolo’s Blackland Prairie expansive clay soils cause ongoing foundation movement in slab-on-grade homes, and this movement transmits to flex-duct joints in unconditioned attics. We’ve found separated joints in early-2000s subdivisions that had been leaking attic air for years. The homeowner sees dust and high bills; the breach is invisible without a camera. Our inspection includes attic examination of accessible joints as standard practice in Cibolo. Call (726) 600-7155 for a written estimate.
You probably don’t, and they probably weren’t. Cibolo’s rapid turnover means homes change hands every 2-3 years with no duct cleaning between owners. Before you close, request a video inspection as part of your due diligence. We deliver a documented video record you can review with your realtor and include in negotiation. After closing, bring any competitor’s written estimate and we’ll provide a Free Second Opinion under Haven Standard Clause 5. Call (726) 600-7155 to schedule.
It makes filtration and duct integrity more important, yes. Cibolo’s position in the Ashe juniper belt means HVAC systems pull enormous pollen loads during December-February. If your ducts have breaches - disconnected joints, poorly sealed registers - that pollen bypasses your filter and deposits directly in the supply stream. Clean, sealed ductwork with intact filtration is your first defense. We inspect for breaches as part of every Cibolo cleaning. Call (726) 600-7155 for a written estimate before the next Cedar Fever season.
