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.
Abatement Technologies Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Antonio: What to Know First
CleanRun provides independent Abatement Technologies dryer vent cleaning in San Antonio for homeowners who want the work documented, not just done. A typical Abatement Technologies dryer vent cleaning runs $180-$340 for a standard single-vent system, and we deliver a written price before touching a tool. The camera goes in first. Then we talk.
This page is for San Antonio homeowners who own Abatement Technologies air handlers, HEPA filtration systems, or negative air machines and need their dryer vent serviced by technicians who understand how that brand’s airflow engineering interacts with the exhaust path. We’re not affiliated with Abatement Technologies. We are an independent service provider who works on their equipment daily in Alamo Heights, Stone Oak, and the Dominion. Call (726) 600-7155 for a free estimate.
How Abatement Technologies Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- PREDATOR 600 series negative air machines with shared laundry exhaust: The high-static blower design that makes these units effective for abatement work also creates back-pressure when the dryer vent is restricted. We see this in San Antonio homes built 2018-2022 near the Medical Center, where the PREDATOR 600 was spec’d for renovation dust control and the laundry room shares a wall with the utility closet. Our fix is a dedicated vent path assessment using static-pressure gauges, then rotary brush extraction sized to the 4-inch rigid duct these units typically require.
- BD2KM and BD2KMV portable dryers with flex-vent extensions: These compact units ship with a 6-foot UL-listed flex transition that San Antonio homeowners often extend with hardware-store foil. The BD2KM’s thermal cutoff trips at 198°F, well below the 250°F+ we measure when a 12-foot foil extension sags behind the unit and pools lint at the low point. We replace the extension with rigid aluminum duct and a proper support strap every 4 feet.
- H2KM HEPA-negative air combo installations with rooftop termination: The H2KM’s 2,000 CFM capacity demands a 6-inch vent minimum, but San Antonio tract builders sometimes reduce to 4-inch at the roof jack to accommodate tile profiles. The restriction doesn’t show on the dryer’s diagnostic because the H2KM compensates with blower speed, but lint accumulates at the reduction point where the 6-to-4 adapter creates turbulence. We bore-scope the roof termination and upsize where the structure allows.
- Abatement Technologies CAP600-UV with integrated dryer booster: The UV-C lamp housing on these units sits 18 inches from the dryer connection point, and the lamp sleeve degrades from heat cycling if the vent airflow is restricted. We’ve found cracked quartz sleeves in Terrell Hills homes where the vent restriction went unaddressed for two cycles. Our protocol includes UV sleeve inspection during vent cleaning, with replacement sourced from Abatement Technologies OEM or verified cross-reference.
- Older CAP600-UV units with galvanized transition duct: Pre-2019 CAP600-UV units used galvanized steel at the dryer connection, which corrodes in San Antonio’s hard water vapor environment faster than aluminum. The corrosion flakes lodge in the blower wheel and create imbalance noise that owners mistake for bearing failure. We replace with aluminum transition and photograph the interior condition for the job record.
Our Abatement Technologies Dryer Vent Cleaning Process

- 1
Static-pressure baseline: We measure inlet and outlet pressure at the dryer connection with a digital manometer. Abatement Technologies units have specific static-pressure thresholds in their documentation; we record the actual reading, not a guess.
- 2
Borescope inspection: The camera goes in first. Then we talk. We photograph the full vent run, noting construction debris from original build, lint density, and any structural damage.
- 3
Written scope and price: Haven Standard Clause 1 requires a written price before work starts. The scope specifies OEM versus quality aftermarket parts based on what we found.
- 4
Rotary brush extraction with HEPA containment: We use Nikro or Abatement Technologies negative-air capture equipment to prevent lint migration into the living space. The brush diameter matches the duct size exactly.
- 5
Airflow verification and photo record: Post-cleaning static-pressure test, then before-and-after photos delivered as part of the standard job record. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies in writing.

FAQs
No. Abatement Technologies warranties cover manufacturing defects, not maintenance. Using an independent service provider for vent cleaning does not affect coverage, though we document our work in case a warranty claim ever requires proof of proper maintenance. Call (726) 600-7155 if you need a copy of our service record for your files.
For UV sleeves and specific adapters, we source OEM Abatement Technologies parts because the tolerances matter. For duct transitions, supports, and bird guards, quality aftermarket aluminum meets the same UL standards at lower cost. We specify which we’re using on the written scope before work starts.
Our Documented Photo Record shows the interior of every duct run before and after. You’ll see the lint mat at the elbow, then the same elbow clear. This is standard on every visit, not an add-on. If a company won’t show you the inside of your own vent, that’s information.
Every 12-18 months for typical residential use. San Antonio’s limestone dust and high pollen seasons accelerate buildup, and homes near construction zones may need annual service. We note the condition severity on the photo record so you can calibrate your next interval.
Yes. The H2KM requires 6-inch minimum vent diameter, and many San Antonio homes built 2015-2020 have 4-inch. We assess structural access, then quote a rerouting price in writing before cutting any drywall. This is our most common Abatement Technologies-related modification in the Dominion and Alamo Ranch.
