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 Duct Repair & Sealing in Alpharetta: What to Know First
We provide independent Rotobrush duct repair and sealing in Alpharetta, typically completing single-zone repairs in one visit and full-system sealing in two. Every job starts with a written price before any panel comes off, and every duct run is photographed before and after. The camera goes in first. Everything else follows from what it shows.
This page is for Alpharetta homeowners who already own a Rotobrush air duct cleaning system and need the connected ductwork repaired, sealed, or insulated. That includes the Rotobrush BrushBeast series, the original Rotobrush Classic, and the portable Rotobrush aiR+ models we see in basements and utility closets across Johns Creek, Windward, and the older ranch homes near downtown Alpharetta. If your Rotobrush unit is pulling debris but your ducts are leaking at the plenum, hissing at flex connections, or sweating through degraded insulation, the machine cannot compensate for failing infrastructure. Call (678) 679-7540 for a free estimate with a written price delivered on the spot.
How Rotobrush Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- BrushBeast drive shaft seal degradation. The BrushBeast’s aggressive brush head creates more torque at the shaft seal than the Classic or aiR+ lines, and we see accelerated wear in Alpharetta homes where the unit runs quarterly on high-humidity schedules. The seal hardens, cracks, and allows debris into the bearing housing. We replace with OEM-spec Viton seals or equivalent aftermarket where the customer prefers, then pressure-test the duct connection point to confirm no backdraft leakage at the repair.
- aiR+ flex-duct collar separation at the plenum. The aiR+ is built for portability, which means lighter collar hardware. In Alpharetta’s clay-heavy soil zones, foundation settling transfers stress to basement flex runs, and the aiR+ collar is often the failure point rather than the duct itself. We sleeve the connection with reinforced mastic tape and a metal draw band, not zip ties, and photograph the torque spec on the band for the job record.
- Classic series vacuum motor housing cracks from thermal cycling. The Classic runs hotter than later models, and in Alpharetta’s variable spring and fall weather, repeated heat-up and cool-down cycles stress the ABS housing at the motor mount bosses. Hairline cracks propagate into vacuum leaks that reduce suction and force the motor to overwork. We epoxy-stabilize or replace the housing depending on crack length, then verify static pressure recovery at the unit with a digital manometer.
- BrushBeast hose-end swivel galling. The BrushBeast’s 1.5-inch hose swivel sees metal-on-metal wear when owners skip lubrication intervals. In Alpharetta’s pollen-heavy springs, grit drawn into the joint accelerates galling until the swivel seizes at an angle, kinking the hose and straining the duct register. We disassemble, polish the ball race, and relubricate with food-grade silicone or replace the swivel assembly if the race is scored beyond tolerance.
- Universal Rotobrush issue: negative pressure imbalance when ducts leak. Every Rotobrush unit depends on sealed ductwork to maintain negative pressure for debris extraction. Alpharetta homes built 2015 to 2022, especially the Avalon-area builds Tomas Reyes references, often have original duct tape failing at flex-to-metal transitions. The Rotobrush runs louder, works slower, and leaves debris behind. We seal with water-based mastic and fiberglass mesh at all accessible joints, then run the unit post-repair to document suction improvement on the photo record.
Our Rotobrush Duct Repair & Sealing Process

- 1
Camera inspection and written scope. We photograph every duct run from the register back to the plenum before touching tools. The customer sees the debris buildup, the crack, or the failed tape before we name a repair.
- 2
Written price under Haven Standard Clause 1. The scope and price are delivered in writing before work starts. No exceptions. This is not a “call for a quote” operation.
- 3
Parts decision: OEM or verified aftermarket. For Rotobrush-specific components, we stock OEM seals, swivels, and collars. For duct infrastructure, we use mastic, mesh, and insulation from Abatement Technologies and Guardsman, brands any customer can verify independently.
- 4
Repair and seal with documentation. Every joint sealed, every sleeve installed, every torque spec recorded. The camera goes back in to show the after condition.
- 5
Pressure test and Rotobrush run verification. We run the customer’s Rotobrush unit post-repair and measure static pressure at the plenum with a digital manometer to confirm the duct system now supports the machine’s rated negative pressure.
- 6
Deliverables: photo record, written summary, 365-Day Done Right Promise. The customer receives all photos, a written summary of particulate measurements and duct integrity notes, and the Promise in writing. If it’s not right, we make it right.

AfterWhat Rotobrush Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Alpharetta
These are honest ranges for Rotobrush-specific duct work we have performed in Alpharetta, Johns Creek, and Milton. Prices vary by accessibility, duct material, and the extent of existing damage.
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Single flex-duct repair (aiR+ collar replacement, seal) | $280 - $420 |
| BrushBeast shaft seal replacement + duct connection test | $340 - $490 |
| Zone-specific mastic sealing (up to 4 duct runs) | $380 - $550 |
| Full-system duct sealing with photo documentation | $890 - $1,400 |
| Flex duct insulation replacement (per run) | $190 - $310 |
What moves the price: attic accessibility, the number of damaged flex transitions, whether the plenum itself needs resealing, and if we find construction debris from the original build phase that must be extracted before sealing. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier connected systems where the duct infrastructure is shared. Every estimate is free, every price is written, and every job includes the Documented Photo Record. Call (678) 679-7540 for an exact quote.
Why Alpharetta Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Alpharetta for Rotobrush Work

FAQs
No. Duct repair and sealing addresses the infrastructure connected to your Rotobrush unit, not the unit itself. As an independent Rotobrush service provider, we do not perform warranty work on the machine, and we never imply manufacturer authorization. We repair the duct system so your unit performs to its rated specification. If your Rotobrush unit needs factory service, we will say so and point you toward the manufacturer. Call (678) 679-7540 if you are unsure whether the issue is duct or machine.
Single-zone repairs usually finish in two to four hours. Full-system sealing across a 2,500-square-foot Alpharetta home typically requires a full day, with the crew returning for pressure verification if mastic cure time demands it. We schedule the work, not rush it, and we do not promise same-day completion for multi-zone jobs because sealed mastic and proper pressure testing cannot be rushed. Call (678) 679-7540 to discuss your timeline.
Replace when the ductwork is galvanized metal with widespread rust perforation, when flex duct is brittle and cracking at multiple points, or when the original design cannot support your Rotobrush unit’s airflow requirement. Repair when the damage is localized to collars, plenum connections, or insulation failure. Our camera inspection shows you which condition applies before you commit to either path. Call (678) 679-7540 for a free assessment with photos.
We stock common Rotobrush wear items: shaft seals, hose swivels, aiR+ collars, and brush heads in the standard sizes. Specialty components for older Classic units or discontinued configurations may require two to three business days. We tell you before writing the price whether your part is on the truck or on order. Call (678) 679-7540 with your model and serial number for confirmation.
You receive the Documented Photo Record of every duct run, before and after, as a standard deliverable on every job. You also receive the written scope, the pressure test readings, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the duct leaks after we seal it, we return and make it right. This is not a policy subject to manager approval; it is Haven Standard Clause 1, backed in writing. Call (678) 679-7540 with any concern within the year.
