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 Air Quality & Sanitizing in Rockville: What to Know First
We provide independent Abatement Technologies air quality and sanitizing service in Rockville, with most jobs scheduled within three to five business days and completed in a single visit. Every job starts with a written price before any work begins - no per-vent teaser rates, no invoice inflation once the truck is in your driveway. If you own an Abatement Technologies HEPA-AIRE or Portable Air Scrubber system and need mold treatment, bacteria sanitizing, odor removal, or UV light installation, we document what we find, quote what we see, and photograph every duct run before and after. Call (240) 255-4519 for a free estimate.
How Abatement Technologies Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- HEPA-AIRE PAS2400 filter seal degradation. The gasket around the HEPA cartridge on this portable unit hardens faster in Rockville’s summer humidity than the manufacturer spec suggests, typically around year four. We replace with OEM-grade silicone seals and verify zero bypass with a smoke pencil test - not visual inspection alone.
- Abatement Technologies Predator 1200 pre-filter loading. The pleated pre-filter on this negative air machine loads unevenly when used in older Rockville homes with original flex duct, where plaster dust and rodent debris create irregular particle sizes. We pull the pre-filter, photograph the loading pattern, and match replacement intervals to actual job conditions rather than the printed hour rating.
- UV-C lamp output decay in Abatement Technologies AIRE GUARD 1 units. The 254nm lamp maintains rated output for roughly 9,000 hours, but we’ve found that units installed near Rockville’s harder water supply lines show quartz sleeve fouling that drops effective UV dose by 40% before lamp failure. We clean sleeves with citric acid descale and meter actual output - never assume the lamp indicator light tells the whole story.
- Abatement Technologies PREDATOR 600 blower motor bearing wear. The sealed bearing in this compact unit isn’t designed for the start-stop cycling common in residential decon jobs. We document bearing noise with a stethoscope during pre-service testing and replace with SKF equivalent bearings when OEM lead times stretch past two weeks - always noting the substitution in writing for warranty traceability.
- AIRE GUARD 2 carbon potassium permanganate blend saturation. The blended media bed in this whole-home unit saturates asymmetrically in Rockville’s split-level homes, where the upper and lower zones pull at different rates. We probe at three depths, photograph the color-breakthrough pattern, and replace only the spent fraction when possible - not the entire bed as a default.
Our Abatement Technologies Air Quality & Sanitizing Process
- 1
System identification and history. We record the Abatement Technologies model, serial, and install date, then ask what symptoms triggered the call - musty registers, post-illness recurrence, visible growth, or persistent odor.
- 2
Photo-documented inspection. The camera goes into every duct run before we quote. Tomas Reyes started this practice back in his Bronx days, and it’s now Haven Standard Clause 2: Documented Condition. The photo comes first. The price comes after.
- 3
Written scope and price. We specify OEM or quality aftermarket parts, labor hours, and the sanitizing agent - typically Sporicidin or Benefect for biological contamination, depending on surface material and occupancy sensitivity. You sign before we start.
- 4
Contained service execution. We isolate the work zone with negative-pressure extraction, run the Abatement Technologies equipment to manufacturer CFM spec, and capture before/after photos of every accessible duct surface.
- 5
Post-service verification. We meter airflow at the registers, verify UV output with a UVC radiometer where applicable, and deliver your photo record and written warranty before the crew leaves.
- 6
365-Day Done Right Promise activation. The written guarantee goes into effect immediately. If odor, visible growth, or airflow imbalance returns, we return under Haven Standard Clause 6.

Why Rockville Homeowners Call CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning for Abatement Technologies Work
We’ve been running jobs across Rockville since 2013, including plenty of work in the older split-levels near Congressional Plaza where original flex duct shows its age in ways that aren’t obvious until you pull the register cover. Tomas Reyes and our crew know Abatement Technologies equipment from hands-on service - not from a distributor slide deck. When we quote a PAS2400 seal job, we’re quoting from the photo we just showed you, not from a flat-rate menu. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians operate under the H.A.V.E.N. Standard, and we also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems when your home has mixed equipment. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on every job, not subject to manager approval. The photo record is delivered before we leave. That’s the difference between a documented service and a van visit.
FAQs
Warranty coverage for parts remains with Abatement Technologies as the manufacturer; our labor and any aftermarket components we install carry CleanRun’s independent 365-Day Done Right Promise. We document every OEM part number and serial in your job record for warranty traceability. Call (240) 255-4519 if you need clarification on a specific component.
You receive a documented photo record of every duct run, before and after, plus airflow readings at the registers. For UV installations, we meter actual UVC output at the sleeve surface with a calibrated radiometer and record the reading in your job file. If the photo doesn’t show a difference, we don’t charge as though it did - that’s Haven Standard Clause 2.
We recommend replacement when repair costs exceed 60% of comparable new equipment installed price, or when the unit lacks features (like variable-speed UV output) that would solve the underlying problem. We put both numbers in writing and let you decide - no default preference for either option. Bring any replacement quote for our free second opinion.
Most residential jobs finish in four to six hours, with UV installations and whole-system sanitizing toward the longer end. We schedule a specific arrival window, not an all-day wait, and the technician calls 30 minutes out. We don’t promise same-day because proper containment and documentation can’t be rushed.
The $79 coupon model typically covers a brief vacuum at the register boot, no photo documentation, no containment, and no sanitizing agent - then upsells heavily once inside. Our price is the price: one flat rate per system, agreed in writing, with every duct run photographed. The photo record alone usually explains the difference.
