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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Selma
Air duct cleaning in Selma typically runs $380-$620 for a full residential system, and every job starts with a written price before we touch a single panel. We’re the crew that shows up to neighborhoods from the Bentwood area to the growth corridors off IH-35 with Rotobrush and HEPA negative-pressure equipment, not a shop-vac and a coupon.
Our scheduling office is in San Antonio, but our crews serve Selma daily. We know the post-1990 production homes here, the flex duct routed through 140-degree attics, and the stapled boot connections that volume builders used to save ten minutes per house. That local knowledge changes what we find and how we fix it. Call (726) 600-7155 for a written estimate, or read on to see what we actually pull out of Selma ductwork.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning San Antonio Is Selma’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been serving the San Antonio metro, including Selma, since 2013. In that time we’ve documented the inside of 52,000+ homes with before-and-after photos of every duct run. Selma customers get the same standard: a written price before work starts, a background-checked uniformed technician identified by name before arrival, and a photo record delivered as part of the job file.
Our reputation here is built on what we can show, not what we claim. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires a written price before any work begins, no exceptions.

We answer calls with a live person 24/7. If you’ve got a competitor’s written estimate, we’ll put our number next to it for free under our Second Opinion policy.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Selma
Residential Duct Cleaning
Selma’s housing stock is almost entirely post-1990 production tract homes, now 15-25 years old and hitting first-cleaning age simultaneously. Our residential service covers the complete duct network from the air handler to every register, using negative-pressure extraction, which means we seal the system and pull debris out under controlled suction rather than blowing it around your house. We typically find construction-phase drywall dust still packed in registers, sagging flex that has opened at joints, and in homes near the IH-35 corridor, stapled boot connections that have partially separated. The written price covers the full system, not per-vent add-ons.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Selma’s commercial base along the Loop 1604 frontage includes retail, medical offices, and service businesses with rooftop package units and exposed spiral duct. We clean these systems with Nikro and Abatement Technologies equipment sized for larger static pressure, and we document the same way: photo record of every run, delivered with the job file. Commercial jobs in Selma typically range $890-$2,400 depending on square footage and system complexity.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply runs push conditioned air to your rooms, and in Selma’s original flex systems they’re the ones most likely to sag, separate, or get crushed by storage in the attic. We clean each supply run individually under negative pressure, then photograph the interior. If we find a stapled boot connection, we’ll show you the camera image and quote the re-clamp and seal in writing before touching it. Supply-only cleaning in Selma runs $240-$380.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler, and in Selma’s unconditioned attics they’re often the entry point for insulation fragments and pollen loads when joints open. The 9-10 month cooling season here means returns are drawing almost year-round, concentrating allergen buildup. We clean the full return path including the return plenum, which is the large box connecting the return ducts to your air handler, and we HEPA-filter the discharge so nothing recirculates into your living space.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Selma Homes
- Stapled boot connections: Production builders in Selma’s 1990s and 2000s growth waves often stapled flex duct to boots instead of using proper clamps. The attic heat cycles the metal, staples loosen, and the run separates partially or fully. Homeowners feel it as a room that won’t hold temperature. Our camera finds it in five minutes.
- Original flex sagging and opening at joints: Fifteen to twenty-five years in a Selma attic degrades the wire helix in flex duct. Sagging creates low points where debris collects, and opened joints pull attic air, insulation fragments, and drywall dust into the return stream.
- Construction debris still in registers and blower compartments: Homes that have never had a source-removal cleaning often still contain the original build-out dust. We’ve pulled out compacted drywall fragments and insulation batting from registers in Selma homes where the owner had no idea it was there.
- Allergen concentration from year-round HVAC cycling: Selma’s mountain cedar season runs December through February, oak pollen surges in spring, and the cooling season lasts 9-10 months. Ducts that never get cleaned become reservoirs for this material, re-aerosolizing every time the blower kicks on.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Selma
You’ll likely find construction-phase drywall dust and insulation fragments still packed in the registers and blower compartment, plus 15-20 years of accumulated skin cells, pollen, and debris in the flex runs. In Selma’s specific housing stock, we also frequently find sagging duct and stapled boot connections that have loosened or separated. We photograph everything before we touch it, show you the images, and put the cleaning scope and any repair needs in writing before starting. Call (726) 600-7155 for a free estimate.
The production builders who put up Selma’s homes in the 1990s and 2000s often used staples instead of mechanical clamps at boot connections, and routed flex through unconditioned attics that hit 140 degrees in summer. The heat cycling loosens staples, the flex weight pulls at joints, and sagging creates stress points. Re-clamping with proper mechanical fasteners and mastic sealing solves it permanently. We quote that repair in writing if our camera finds it during inspection.
Yes. Our source-removal methodology, negative-pressure containment, and HEPA filtration meet NADCA ACR standards for residential cleaning. The photo record we deliver documents compliance: before image, cleaning pass, after image, for every run. That’s Haven Standard documentation, not a checklist we file internally.
A one-time source-removal cleaning clears accumulated debris, but many Selma systems also need sealing at disconnected joints and reinforcement of sagging runs to solve the comfort complaints that brought you here. We separate cleaning from repair in our written scope so you see exactly what each costs. Some homeowners choose to re-clean every 5-7 years; others with severe allergen sensitivity or pets go shorter. We’ll tell you what we found and let you decide.
It helps if the ducts are the reservoir. San Antonio metro pollen loads, including Selma’s heavy mountain cedar and oak seasons, get drawn into return ducts and deposited on duct surfaces. A source-removal cleaning with HEPA-contained discharge removes that reservoir. But cleaning won’t fix inadequate filtration, leaking return paths pulling attic air, or disconnected supplies dumping conditioned air outside the envelope. Our camera inspection identifies which problem you actually have. Call (726) 600-7155 to schedule.
