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.

CleanRun provides independent Rotobrush dryer vent cleaning in Cumming, with most jobs completed in a single visit and a written price delivered before any work starts.

This page is for Rotobrush owners in Cumming who want to understand what actually happens inside their vent line, why certain Rotobrush configurations show recurring problems in North Georgia’s humid summers, and how to get the work done without a bait-and-switch invoice.

How Rotobrush Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Beast series brush motor burnout in long vent runs. The Rotobrush Beast’s 450-RPM brush motor works hard on Cumming’s common 25-foot-plus vent runs through crawl spaces or interior walls, especially in two-story homes near Vickery. Heat builds at the motor housing, the thermal fuse trips, and the brush stops spinning mid-job. We test amp draw at the motor leads before quoting; if the housing is discolored from repeated overheating, we document it and quote OEM or verified aftermarket replacement rather than band-aiding the fuse.
- Brush block binding in the RotoVent-Viper hybrid lines. The flexible cable on RotoVent-Viper units can develop a “memory curl” after repeated use in Cumming’s high-humidity months, causing the brush block to snag at elbows or the transition duct. Our fix: we pull the full cable, inspect for kinking or corrosion at the coupling, and replace with a matched-diameter cable if the original has lost its straight-set. We photograph the cable condition before removal so you see why replacement beats adjustment.
- Negative air loss at the plenum connection on older RotoBrush Classic units. The Classic’s quick-connect collar wears oval after years of attachment cycles, breaking seal at the plenum (the main distribution box where duct branches meet). This lets lint bypass the extraction path and recirculate. We measure leakage with a smoke pencil, then fit a machined replacement collar or transition piece sized to the actual duct gauge - not a universal clamp-on that gaps in six months.
- Clogged lint screens on the RotoDryer vent booster series. Cumming’s pollen season, which runs heavy from late March through May, loads the RotoDryer’s inline lint screen faster than the standard cleaning interval suggests. Pressure drop across the screen climbs, the booster fan amps up to compensate, and the motor fails prematurely. We pull and photograph the screen load, clean or replace the element, and check static pressure post-service to confirm the fan isn’t fighting restriction downstream.
- Corroded vent cap flappers on coastal-moisture-exposed runs. Rotobrush vent caps with metal flapper assemblies, common on installations from 2015-2019, rust at the hinge pin in Cumming’s summer humidity. The flapper sticks open, inviting birds and wasps, or sticks shut, trapping moisture and accelerating lint compaction. We replace with a Guardsman polymer-hinge cap rated for Georgia’s humidity cycle, and we document the old cap’s condition in the photo record.
Our Rotobrush Dryer Vent Cleaning Process

- 1
Call and scheduling. A live person answers, confirms your Rotobrush model if you know it, and schedules. We ask about vent run length, termination point (roof, wall, soffit), and any recent drying-time changes.
- 2
Arrival and written price. The technician introduces themselves by name, verifies Haven Standard Clause 1 (written price before work), and inspects the vent path with a borescope camera. The camera doesn’t have an opinion - it just shows you what’s in there. You get the price in writing before we touch a tool.
- 3
Diagnostics and parts decision. We identify Rotobrush-specific wear: brush motor amp draw, cable condition, collar seal integrity. If a part needs replacement, we show you OEM and quality aftermarket options with real part numbers you can verify, and we note which choices preserve any remaining manufacturer warranty on adjacent components.
- 4
Cleaning and repair. We use Rotobrush-compatible brush heads sized to your duct diameter, paired with negative-pressure extraction (suction that pulls debris toward the collection unit, not toward your laundry room). Lint is removed, not redistributed. Any parts replacement is photographed before and after.
- 5
Testing and documentation. We measure airflow at the exterior termination with a calibrated anemometer and verify backdraft damper operation. You receive the Documented Photo Record of every duct run, the written scope of work, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise before we leave.

FAQs
No. As an independent Rotobrush service provider, we use warranty-safe practices: OEM-spec brush heads, no modification of factory electrical connections, and documented test results that support any future warranty claim. We do not imply manufacturer authorization. If your unit is under original warranty, we note serial and install date in our record so you have documentation if Rotobrush requests service history.
Replacement is worth considering when the vent line is flexible foil or plastic (fire code violations in most Cumming jurisdictions), when the run exceeds 35 feet without a booster, or when the borescope shows corrosion holes in rigid duct. Cleaning suffices for lint-blocked metal duct in sound condition. We show you the camera footage and quote both options in writing so you decide from evidence, not pressure. Call (678) 693-5322 to schedule the inspection.
OEM guarantees fit and preserves adjacent warranty coverage; quality aftermarket from Abatement Technologies or Guardsman matches spec at lower cost for out-of-warranty units. We stock both, quote both with part numbers, and install what you approve. We do not source unbranded generic parts that lack independent testing documentation.
Most residential jobs in Cumming finish in 90 minutes to two hours, including setup, camera inspection, cleaning, parts replacement if needed, and final airflow test. Extended runs, roof terminations, or bird guard installation add time; we quote the full duration in writing so you can plan.
Every 12-18 months for a household of two to four people with normal laundry volume. Cumming’s pollen season and summer humidity accelerate lint compaction, so households with pets or heavy towel/sheet laundry should consider annual service. We note your last service date in our record and send a reminder based on your actual vent condition, not a calendar push. Call (678) 693-5322 when you’re ready.
