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 Plano: What to Know First
CleanRun provides independent Abatement Technologies duct repair & sealing in Plano, with most residential jobs completed in a single visit and written pricing delivered before any panel comes off. As an independent Abatement Technologies service provider, we service the HEPA-AIRE and PREDATOR series systems found in Plano homes, using parts and practices that protect your equipment warranty. Typical turnaround from call to completion is 3-5 business days for standard repairs; we do not schedule by urgency, we schedule by when the work can be done right. If you own an Abatement Technologies air scrubber, negative air machine, or portable HEPA system and have noticed airflow drop, whistling at connections, or dust bypass around sealed joints, call (469) 452-7766. We will send a written estimate within 24 hours of inspection.
How Abatement Technologies Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- HEPA-AIRE SAH2-1200 flexible duct collapse at the blower outlet. The high-static design of this portable unit pulls hard enough to deform standard flex duct, especially in Plano’s summer heat when attic temperatures exceed 140°F and soften the wire helix. We replace with reinforced, high-temperature flex rated for the SAH2’s static pressure, or transition to hard pipe at the first elbow if space allows.
- PREDATOR 1200PAC gasket failure at the filter bank interface. The closed-cell foam gasket between the pre-filter and HEPA stages compresses permanently after 18-24 months of thermal cycling. Air bypasses the filter and deposits fine debris in the supply ductwork. We source the exact density replacement gasket or upgrade to silicone-rubber where the unit runs continuously on commercial jobs.
- HEPA-AIRE PAS2400 plenum seam separation in retrofit installs. The modular plenum on this negative-air unit was designed for temporary containment, but Plano homeowners often leave them in place for years. Sheet-metal screws back out from vibration; we re-seam with mastic and fiberglass mesh, then add mechanical locks where the original design relied on friction fit alone.
- Abatement Technologies flex-duct abrasion at attic truss contact points. Not a product defect, but a common finding: the 10-inch flex typically paired with HEPA-AIRE units in Plano’s 1980s-1990s ranch stock gets routed over W-trusses with no saddle. The jacket wears through in 3-5 years. We install padded saddles, sleeve the damaged section, and photograph the before condition for the job record.
- PREDATOR series blower motor mount stress cracks. The stamped-steel mount on early PREDATOR 600 and 1200 units fatigues at the motor bolt holes, transmitting vibration into the ductwork and loosening sealed joints. We weld-reinforce or replace the mount, then re-balance the assembly and re-seal all downstream connections under negative-pressure verification.
Our Abatement Technologies Duct Repair & Sealing Process
- 1
System identification and photo documentation. We photograph the unit nameplate, filter condition, and every accessible duct connection before touching anything. Tomas Reyes started this practice in 2013 because, as he says, “Show the photo first. Talk second.”
- 2
Negative-pressure diagnostic. We seal the return, pressurize the supply with a calibrated smoke pencil, and measure static loss across the system with a digital manometer. This tells us whether the leak is in the ductwork, the unit housing, or both.
- 3
Parts decision: OEM or verified aftermarket. For Abatement Technologies units under active warranty, we use OEM gaskets, filters, and specified hardware to preserve coverage. For out-of-warranty systems, we source aftermarket equivalents from Guardsman and Nikro that meet or exceed the original spec, documented in writing.
- 4
Repair and re-seal. We replace damaged flex, re-seam plenums with mastic and mesh, upgrade gaskets, and install mechanical supports where the original install cut corners. Every joint is sealed to SMACNA standards for pressure class.
- 5
Post-repair verification. We re-run the negative-pressure test, photograph the sealed joints and repaired runs, and deliver the documented photo record with the written invoice. The 365-Day Done Right Promise activates at this point.
- 6
Cleanup and walkthrough. We leave the work area cleaner than we found it, explain what was done and why, and provide the written scope with before-and-after photos before requesting payment.

Why Plano Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Plano for Abatement Technologies Work
We are not the only company that can spell Abatement Technologies correctly. We are one of the few in Plano that stocks the SAH2 gasket kit and the PAS2400 plenum hardware, so the job does not wait on a parts order. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and they carry Lennox, Trane, and Carrier cross-training because most Plano homes have mixed-brand HVAC ecosystems. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is not a marketing phrase; it is a written guarantee on every invoice. Since 2013, we have served 52,000+ homes with a documented photo record on every visit. Tomas Reyes built this company on the habit of photographing the evidence before quoting the price, and we have not broken that habit yet.
FAQs
No, if the work is performed using OEM-specified parts and practices. We document every part number and seal method to preserve your coverage, and we flag warranty-status units before ordering aftermarket components. If your unit is under warranty, we will show you the OEM requirement in writing before quoting. Call (469) 452-7766 with your serial number and we will verify status at no charge.
Common gaskets, filters, and hardware for the HEPA-AIRE and PREDATOR lines ship to our Plano warehouse in 2-3 business days; we stock high-failure items like PAS2400 plenum seals and PREDATOR filter bank gaskets for same-day repair. If your unit uses a discontinued series, we source verified aftermarket equivalents from Guardsman or Nikro and document the spec match in writing. Call (469) 452-7766 with your model number for current availability.
Repair is the better value if the unit housing is sound and the blower motor has more than 5,000 hours remaining on its service life. We replace the unit when the heat exchanger or HEPA bank is compromised, or when repair costs exceed 60% of replacement. Our inspection includes a written repair-versus-replace analysis with both numbers, no pressure either way. Call (469) 452-7766 for the inspection.
You receive a documented photo record of every duct run, before and after, as a standard deliverable on every CleanRun job. We also provide the post-repair pressure test readout showing static recovery. If the numbers and photos do not match the scope, Haven Standard Clause 1 applies and we make it right. Call (469) 452-7766 if you have questions about your delivered record.
Yes. Most Plano homes we work in have Lennox, Trane, or Carrier air handlers paired with Abatement Technologies negative-air or HEPA accessories. Our technicians carry cross-training on all major brands and will not defer work because the label does not match. We document which brand receives which repair in the written scope. Call (469) 452-7766 to describe your setup.
