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 Herndon: What to Know First
CleanRun provides independent Abatement Technologies air quality and sanitizing service in Herndon, with most jobs scheduled within a few business days and completed in a single visit. Every job starts with a written price before any work begins, and every duct run is photographed before and after so you can see what was actually inside your system. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Abatement Technologies. We service their equipment as an independent Abatement Technologies service provider, using trade-standard protocols that protect your warranty coverage where applicable.
This page is for Herndon homeowners who own an Abatement Technologies air scrubber, HEPA filtration unit, or portable containment system and need mold treatment, bacteria sanitizing, odor removal, UV light installation, air purifier installation, or allergen reduction. If you’re near the historic downtown core along Elden Street or in newer construction off Centreville Road, you’ve probably seen these units in basements, utility closets, or mounted to existing HVAC plenums - the big distribution box where air enters your ductwork.
Call (571) 520-6317 for a free estimate. We’ll put the price in writing before any work starts.
How Abatement Technologies Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- PREDATOR 750 Series HEPA units develop blower motor strain from fine particulate bypass. The 750’s high-static design pulls hard, and when pre-filters load up in Herndon’s pollen-heavy spring seasons, the motor runs hot. We photograph the filter loading pattern, replace with OEM-spec media or verified equivalent, and test static pressure after reassembly to confirm the motor isn’t fighting restriction.
- ABATEMENT CAPTURE portable containment systems lose negative pressure from zipper-seam fatigue. The flexible ducting on these units flexes at the same points every deployment, and after repeated cycles the seams micro-fracture. We pressure-test the full run, mark the leak points with numbered tape, and either patch with manufacturer-approved adhesive or replace the section - documented in your photo record.
- UVGI units (PREDATOR and standalone lamp housings) show diminished output from quartz-sleeve fouling without lamp failure. The sleeve clouds with oxidation and biofilm even when the lamp still lights. We meter actual UV-C output at the face, not just check for glow, and replace sleeves separately from lamps when the data supports it. This saves roughly half the parts cost of a full lamp swap.
- ABATEMENT HEPA-AIRE duct-mounted scrubbers develop bypass leakage at the cabinet-to-plenum gasket. Herndon’s humidity swings, especially in summer when the dew point climbs above 70°F, accelerate gasket compression set. We pull the cabinet, photograph the gap pattern, and install closed-cell neoprene gaskets rated for the temperature range - not the generic foam some crews use that turns to dust in three years.
- PREDATOR 600 series carbon/potassium permanganate blend filters saturate asymmetrically. The bottom third loads first because of how return air stratifies in basement installations common in Herndon’s 1980s-2000s stock. We check blend uniformity with a borescope, replace only the spent stage if the upper media still has capacity, and note the finding in your job record for future scheduling.
Our Abatement Technologies Air Quality & Sanitizing Process
- 1
System identification and scope confirmation. We verify the exact Abatement Technologies model, serial, and installation date, then confirm what you’ve observed - odor persistence, visible growth, pressure drop alarms, or UV lamp status.
- 2
Written price delivery. Haven Standard Clause 1: we deliver a written price before any panel comes off. No exceptions. The scope lists every component we’ll address and the flat price for the system.
- 3
Documented inspection with borescope and meters. We photograph inside every duct run and plenum connection, meter UV-C output or static pressure as applicable, and show you the images before explaining what they mean. Show the photo first. Then explain what it means. The estimate comes after that.
- 4
Parts decision with warranty protection. We use OEM Abatement Technologies parts where required for warranty coverage, or quality aftermarket equivalents from Guardsman or Honeywell where the warranty period has expired and the spec matches. You see the part numbers in writing.
- 5
Service execution with real-time documentation. The crew performs sanitizing, filter replacement, gasket renewal, or lamp/sleeve service, photographing each stage. Background-checked, uniformed technicians under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews.
- 6
Post-service test and photo record delivery. We re-test pressure, UV output, or particle count, then deliver your complete photo record - before, during, and after - with the written 365-Day Done Right Promise.
BeforeAfterWhat Abatement Technologies Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Herndon
These are the ranges we most often write for Herndon Abatement Technologies systems. Every job gets its own flat price based on what the inspection shows.
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| UV lamp and quartz sleeve replacement (PREDATOR series) | $340-$580 |

| Duct-mounted scrubber gasket renewal and pressure test | $420-$680 |
| Full system sanitizing with antimicrobial application (per system) | $520-$840 |
| Carbon/potassium permanganate blend filter replacement | $220-$360 |
| Portable containment system leak test and section replacement | $380-$620 |
What moves the price: accessibility of the unit (attic vs. basement), whether prior service used incorrect parts that damaged mating surfaces, and if microbial growth requires extended contact-time application. We do not quote per-vent pricing. One flat price per system, agreed before work starts.

Tomas Reyes and our crew know Abatement Technologies equipment from hands-on work in the field, not from a distributor brochure. When a PREDATOR unit’s pressure drop doesn’t match the filter loading, we find out why instead of swapping parts and hoping. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems, so if your Abatement Technologies unit is integrated with a mixed-brand HVAC setup, we don’t need to call in another contractor to coordinate.

FAQs
No. Warranty coverage remains intact when service is performed to manufacturer specifications using OEM or equivalent parts, which is how we work. We document part numbers and procedures so you have proof if a warranty question ever arises. Call (571) 520-6317 if you need help understanding your remaining warranty period.
Your photo record shows the application pattern and coverage inside every duct run, and we meter post-service particle counts or UV output where applicable. The documentation is yours to keep. If a competitor can’t show you this, you’re buying a promise, not a service.
We recommend replacement when repair costs exceed roughly 60% of a comparable new unit installed, or when the cabinet has corrosion that compromises sealing integrity. Until then, targeted repair with OEM parts usually extends service life economically. We put both numbers in writing so you can decide.
The $79 coupon model typically covers a brief vacuum cycle at the register, not full-system service. Real negative-pressure extraction with HEPA containment, documented photography, and proper sanitizing takes time and equipment. We publish our ranges because Haven Standard Clause 1 requires written upfront pricing, not because we want to match the lowest number in your mailbox.
HEPA pre-filters in Herndon typically need inspection every 6 months and replacement at 12-18 months depending on pollen load and whether you keep windows open in spring. UV lamps degrade measurably after 9,000 hours of operation even when still lit, so we meter output annually. We’ll note your specific schedule in the job record based on what we find.
