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.

AfterFast, Reliable Duct Repair & Sealing Across Aurora
Duct repair and sealing in Aurora typically runs $280-$650 for most residential jobs, with flex duct repairs on the lower end and full-system mastic sealing on the higher end. We dispatch crews to Aurora from our Denver office and can usually schedule within 2-4 business days, depending on season. Call (720) 799-2292 for a written estimate before any work starts.
We’ve worked in Aurora homes since 2013, from the mid-century ranches along Colfax in west Aurora to the newer subdivisions off E-470 in Saddle Rock and Tallyn’s Reach. The housing stock here is split in a way you don’t see in most metro suburbs: original sheet-metal ducts in the older neighborhoods, and miles of flexible ductwork in the east-side tract homes that went up during the 1990s and 2000s building boom. That split means the repair approach changes block by block, and a crew that treats every job the same will miss what’s actually failing.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Denver Is Aurora’s Preferred Duct Repair & Sealing Company
Our Duct Repair & Sealing team has documented photo records from over 1,200 Aurora jobs, and we keep them on file. Homeowners in Murphy Creek and Hoffman Heights have left reviews citing the before-and-after photos as the reason they chose us over competitors who showed up with a shop vac and a verbal quote. We’re not guessing at what your system needs; we’re photographing it, putting the scope in writing, and agreeing on a price before a panel comes off.
Response time to Aurora is typically same-week during shoulder seasons, 3-5 business days mid-summer and mid-winter when HVAC load peaks. We know the parking restrictions around the Anschutz Medical Campus area, the equipment-access challenges in the condo clusters near Southlands, and which east-side subdivisions have the long flex runs that were never cleaned after construction. That local knowledge means we show up with the right tools and materials instead of making a second trip.
Haven Standard Clause 1 applies on every Aurora job: written price before work starts, every time, no exceptions. Tomas Reyes established that rule in 2013 and it hasn’t changed.
Our Duct Repair & Sealing Services in Aurora
Flex Duct Repair
East Aurora’s 1990s-2000s subdivisions - Saddle Rock, Tallyn’s Reach, the newer parts of Murphy Creek - were built with long flexible duct runs installed quickly during the boom. Twenty to thirty years later, we’re finding those runs crushed by attic storage, kinked where they bend around trusses, or simply detached at the collar. A crushed flex duct doesn’t just reduce airflow; it increases static pressure on the blower motor and can trip high-limit safety switches. We cut out damaged sections, install new flex with proper support straps, and seal the joints with mastic, not duct tape. Typical flex duct repair in Aurora runs $280-$420 per run.
Mastic Sealant Application
Sheet-metal trunk lines in west Aurora’s 1950s-1970s ranch homes were originally sealed with duct tape or fibrous sealant that dries out and separates, especially in the temperature swings of an unconditioned crawlspace. Once a joint separates, the system pulls in dust, rodent debris, and unconditioned air from the crawlspace or attic. We brush mastic sealant - a water-based, fiber-reinforced compound - onto every accessible joint and seam, then document the application with photos. Mastic sealing for a typical ranch home in the Original Aurora or Hoffman Heights area runs $340-$520.
Air Leak Repair
Leaks in the supply or return plenum (the main distribution box attached to your furnace or air handler) force the system to condition air that never reaches the rooms. In Aurora’s climate, where furnaces run hard from October through April and AC carries heavy load in July, that wasted energy adds up fast. We pressure-test the plenum and trunk connections, identify leaks with smoke pencil or thermal imaging, then repair with sheet-metal patches, screws, and mastic. Air leak repair in Aurora typically falls between $320-$580 depending on plenum access and the number of leaks found.
Duct Insulation
Uninsulated or degraded ductwork in Aurora’s unconditioned attics and crawlspaces loses significant thermal energy. The ~5,400-foot elevation means colder winter nights and more intense summer sun on dark roofing materials. We replace degraded insulation with formaldehyde-free fiberglass wrap or closed-cell foam where appropriate, sealed at all seams. Duct insulation jobs in Aurora generally range $450-$780 for a typical single-system home.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Aurora
Our crews carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Honeywell on every Aurora truck. Rotobrush agitation systems handle the packed construction debris we find in east Aurora’s never-cleaned flex ducts. Nikro negative-pressure extractors pull that debris back to the collection unit without contaminating the living space. Honeywell media filters and electronic air cleaners integrate with sealed duct systems to maintain the repair work long-term. We stock common flex duct diameters, collar fittings, and mastic compounds locally, so most Aurora repairs don’t wait on parts.
Common Duct Repair & Sealing Problems We See in Aurora Homes
- Crushed and kinked flexible duct in east Aurora tract homes. Long flex runs installed during the 1990s-2000s boom were often compressed by attic storage or pinched against framing, starving downstream rooms of airflow. We regularly find 6-inch runs flattened to 2-inch clearances in Saddle Rock and Tallyn’s Reach.
- Leaking sheet-metal trunk joints in west Aurora ranches. Original duct tape and sealant from the 1950s-1970s has dried and separated, pulling in crawlspace dust and rodent debris. The camera shows the gap before we touch anything.
- Shared dryer vent stacks in Aurora apartments and condos. Multi-unit buildings near the Anschutz Medical Campus and along Parker Road have common dryer vents that accumulate lint where individual ducts merge, creating fire hazards and back-pressure that trips dryers into error mode. Restricted parking makes equipment positioning difficult; we coordinate with property managers and use portable extraction units when truck access is limited.
- Construction debris packed into never-cleaned trunk lines. In east Aurora’s 1990s-2000s subdivisions, the original flexible duct often still contains drywall dust, sawdust from framing, and 20-plus years of High Plains particulate because the home was sold and re-sold without anyone scheduling a first cleaning.

FAQs - Duct Repair & Sealing in Aurora
Because that ductwork was installed during the 1990s-2000s building boom and was rarely cleaned afterward. The original flexible duct in Saddle Rock, Murphy Creek, and Tallyn’s Reach is now 20-30 years old, often packed with construction debris and High Plains dust, and has been subjected to decades of attic temperature swings that degrade the plastic liner. When we open these systems, the camera regularly shows drywall dust from original construction still sitting in the trunk line. Repairing or replacing these runs is usually the first time anyone has addressed the ductwork since the home was built. Call (720) 799-2292 for an inspection and written estimate.
Aurora sits at the windward edge of the High Plains, so return-air intakes here pull in fine agricultural and prairie dust at a rate that overwhelms standard 1-inch filters. That dust loads the system continuously, accelerates sealant degradation, and packs into any leak point, making small gaps larger over time. Our sealing work accounts for this loading by using mastic rated for high-particulate environments and by verifying filter capacity as part of the repair scope. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers seal failure under normal Aurora operating conditions. Call (720) 799-2292 for an exact quote.
Yes, though shared systems require coordination with property management and sometimes with the HOA. We work in multi-unit buildings near the Anschutz Medical Campus and along Parker Road, where restricted parking and shared plenums add complexity. Our crew is background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and we carry portable extraction equipment for buildings where truck positioning isn’t possible. We document all work with photos and provide the property manager with a copy of the scope and warranty. Call (720) 799-2292 to discuss your building’s access requirements.
We start with a camera inspection of every accessible run, then deliver a written scope and price before any work begins. The crew isolates the damaged sections, performs the repair or sealing with professional-grade tools, pressure-tests or smoke-tests the joints, and photographs every run before and after. You receive the photo record as a standard deliverable, along with the written warranty under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. No step happens without documentation. Call (720) 799-2292 to schedule.
Shared dryer vent stacks in Aurora’s apartment and condo buildings accumulate lint at the merge points where individual unit ducts join the common run. That lint restriction creates back-pressure that forces dryers into error mode, extends drying times, and creates a documented fire hazard. We clean and repair these stacks with portable Nikro extraction equipment, document the lint volume removed, and repair any disconnected or damaged sections. Property managers receive the photo record and written scope for their maintenance files. Call (720) 799-2292 for a building assessment.
