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.
Rotobrush Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alpharetta: What to Know First
CleanRun provides independent Rotobrush dryer vent cleaning in Alpharetta for homeowners who want the job documented, not guessed. Most Rotobrush dryer vent jobs we handle run $180 to $340 for a standard cleaning, with vent rerouting or bird guard installation running $400 to $650 depending on roof access and line length. We put the written price in front of you before any panel comes off, and every job ends with before-and-after photos of your actual ductwork.
This page is for Alpharetta homeowners who already own Rotobrush air handling equipment and need a technician who understands how those systems interface with dryer vent lines. If you’re in Windward, Avalon, or the older ranch homes off Rucker Road, we’ve likely worked on a setup similar to yours. Call (678) 679-7540 for a free estimate.
How Rotobrush Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Rotobrush BrushBeast series: drive cable fatigue at the vent elbow. The BrushBeast’s aggressive auger torque is built for main trunk lines, but when homeowners run it into dryer vent flex with a tight 90-degree turn, the cable develops micro-fractures at the stress point. We see this in Alpharetta’s newer construction near Halcyon, where builders spec long vent runs with multiple elbows. Our fix: we pull the cable, inspect with a borescope, and replace with a Rotobrush OEM .375-inch cable or a verified aftermarket equivalent rated for the same RPM. Haven Standard Clause 1 applies: written price before we open the case.
- Rotobrush aiR+ XP: motor housing heat damage from restricted exhaust. The aiR+ XP’s compact motor runs hot when the dryer vent it’s connected to is partially blocked. Owners smell burning dust and assume the unit is failing; usually it’s pulling against a lint dam at the exterior cap. We camera the full vent line, locate the restriction, and clean with a Nikro reverse skipper ball before testing static pressure drop across the run. The camera goes in first. Everything else follows from what it shows.
- Rotobrush Classic: worn brush heads scoring galvanized vent pipe. The original Classic’s stiffer bristles, when worn to nubs, can gauge the interior of thin-wall galvanized dryer vent pipe common in Alpharetta homes built 1985 to 2005. We find this in the Windward subdivision regularly. Our fix: replace the brush head with a Rotobrush OEM soft-trim or switch to a Nikro rotary whisker head for the dryer vent portion, then photo-document pipe integrity.
- Rotobrush vacuum hose collapse at the wye connection. The flexible vacuum hose on both the Beast and aiR+ lines can collapse where it tees into the dryer vent line, especially in Alpharetta’s summer humidity when the hose material softens. This creates a false “clean” reading because suction drops before debris is extracted. We replace the wye with a rigid Abatement Technologies schedule-40 PVC tee and verify flow with a manometer.
- Rotobrush HEPA filter bypass in negative-pressure setups. When Rotobrush units are used for dryer vent cleaning without proper negative-pressure containment, lint bypasses the HEPA cartridge and recirculates into the laundry room. This is a setup error, not a machine flaw. We seal the work zone with Guardsman containment sheeting and run a Honeywell portable HEPA auxiliary during the job, documented in the photo record.
Our Rotobrush Dryer Vent Cleaning Process

- 1
Call and scope. You describe the Rotobrush model and the symptom. We ask about vent run length, exterior cap type, and any recent drying-time changes. We schedule a window; Tomas Reyes or a background-checked, uniformed technician under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews arrives identified by name.
- 2
Written price delivery. Before touching equipment, we inspect the vent line with a borescope and present a written price. No exceptions. This is Haven Standard Clause 1.
- 3
Parts decision. If a Rotobrush component needs replacement, we show you OEM and quality aftermarket options with warranty implications for each. You choose; we document the choice in writing.
- 4
Cleaning and repair. We clean the full vent line with equipment matched to your Rotobrush system’s specifications, then test airflow and static pressure drop. If we reroute or install a bird guard, we photo the completed work from both ends.
- 5
Documentation delivery. You receive the Documented Photo Record: before-and-after images of every duct run, the written scope, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. This has been our standard deliverable since 2013.

Why Alpharetta Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Alpharetta for Rotobrush Work

We’ve cleaned duct systems in Alpharetta since 2013, including a stretch of homes near Avalon where Tomas Reyes still points out the construction debris we pulled from new-build ductwork. Our technicians are trained on Rotobrush, Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems, so if your dryer vent issue connects to a multi-brand HVAC setup, we don’t need a second contractor.
Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing, not as a verbal assurance. The Documented Photo Record shows you what was in your ducts, not what we claim was there. Our license number is published on every page, and our equipment roster, Rotobrush included, is named so you can verify specifications yourself.
FAQs
No. As an independent Rotobrush service provider, we use OEM-spec or manufacturer-recommended parts and document our work. Rotobrush warranties cover defects in materials and workmanship, not who performs routine maintenance, provided the service does not damage the unit. We photograph every step so there’s a record if questions arise. Call (678) 679-7540 if you’d like us to review your warranty terms before scheduling.
The borescope shows the difference. If the camera reveals intact components with normal wear, we clean and test. If it shows cable fraying, brush head deformation, or motor housing heat damage, we present the part replacement in writing with the photo evidence. You decide before we proceed.
We stock common Rotobrush cables, brush heads, and HEPA filters on our trucks. For less common aiR+ XP components, we source from regional distributors with two-day turnaround to our Alpharetta warehouse. We never start a job we can’t finish.
If the motor tests within spec and the housing isn’t heat-damaged, repair is usually the better value. Classics built before 2018 have durable brushed motors that outlast the plastic housings on some newer units. We give you the test numbers and the replacement cost, both in writing, and let the math decide.
A standard cleaning runs 90 minutes to two hours, including setup, borescope inspection, cleaning, testing, and photo documentation. Rerouting or bird guard installation adds 60 to 90 minutes. We schedule by the job, not by the hour, so there’s no pressure to finish fast.
