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 Duct Repair & Sealing in Johns Creek: What to Know First
As an independent Abatement Technologies service provider, we repair and seal Abatement Technologies duct systems in Johns Creek homes with a written price delivered before any work starts and a documented photo record of every duct run when we leave. Most Abatement Technologies duct repairs in Johns Creek are completed in a single visit, and our whole-system sealing jobs for typical 2,200-square-foot homes run $1,400-$2,800 depending on access and condition. This page is for homeowners who searched their Abatement Technologies model number, found something wrong with airflow or temperature balance, and want to know what repair actually involves before inviting anyone inside. Call (470) 326-1926 for a free estimate with no obligation.
How Abatement Technologies Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- PREDATOR 750 Series HEPA units: The flexible duct connections between the main housing and the remote filter bank degrade faster than rigid metal in Johns Creek’s humidity, especially in crawl spaces off Buice Road and the Medlock Bridge corridor. We replace the collapsed flex with insulated, reinforced duct rated for negative-pressure extraction - the suction force these units generate - and seal with mastic sealant, not tape alone, because tape releases in our summer heat cycles.
- BD2KL negative air machines: The 12-inch inlet duct collars on early BD2KL units crack at the mounting flange after repeated filter changes. We’ve replaced dozens in Johns Creek with reinforced aftermarket collars that match the OEM bolt pattern; the unit warranty stays intact because we’re not modifying the housing, only the removable collar assembly.
- ABATEMENT PORTABLE 600 series: The factory gasket between the blower section and the plenum box (the distribution chamber that feeds each duct run) hardens and leaks after 4-6 years. We remove the old gasket, machine the mating surface flat, and install a silicone-impregnated replacement that outlasts the original in Georgia’s climate.
- HEPA-AIRE SAH2 systems: The secondary return boxes in two-story Johns Creek homes with zoned systems - common in the Abbots Hill and Country Club of the South areas - accumulate debris behind the Abatement Technologies connection point that restricts airflow and strains the flex duct. We photograph the restriction, remove it, and repair the compressed flex with a proper support strap system so it doesn’t sag again.
- CAP600-UV models: The UV lamp housing seal fails before the duct itself, creating a leak path that bypasses filtration entirely. We reseal the housing with high-temp RTV and replace the duct section if the leak has caused oil-canning (the metal popping in and out from pressure cycling), which we’ve seen in three Johns Creek jobs since 2021.
Our Abatement Technologies Duct Repair & Sealing Process
- 1
System inspection with photo documentation. We photograph every accessible duct run before touching anything, including the Abatement Technologies model plate and any existing damage. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires the written price before work starts; we can’t price what we haven’t seen.
- 2
Diagnostics with airflow measurement. We test static pressure at the unit and temperature differential at each register (the grille where air enters the room) to locate leaks or restrictions specific to the Abatement Technologies design. The photo goes first. The price comes after.
- 3
Parts decision: OEM or verified aftermarket. For Abatement Technologies units still under manufacturer warranty, we use OEM flex duct, collars, and gaskets to preserve coverage. For out-of-warranty systems, we source aftermarket parts that meet or exceed the original spec and cost 20-40% less.
- 4
Repair and seal. We repair metal duct with proper slip joints and screws, seal all seams with mastic sealant (a brush-applied paste that hardens into an airtight, flexible coating), and replace damaged flex with insulated, reinforced product. Every connection gets photographed.
- 5
Post-repair test and documentation. We rerun the airflow test to verify the fix, deliver the before-and-after photo record as a standard job deliverable, and leave the written 365-Day Done Right Promise with the invoice.
- 6
Cleanup and walkthrough. The crew vacuums the work area, and the lead technician reviews the photo record with the homeowner before collecting payment.
BeforeAfterWhat Abatement Technologies Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Johns Creek
| Service | Typical Range | What Moves the Price |

| Plenum box reseal (ABATEMENT PORTABLE 600 or CAP600-UV) | $480-$720 | Gasket material, surface machining needed, UV housing removal |
| Whole-system duct sealing with mastic (typical 2,200 sq ft home) | $1,400-$2,800 | Linear feet of duct, number of registers, accessibility |
| Secondary return box repair with flex replacement (HEPA-AIRE SAH2) | $620-$940 | Debris volume, duct compression severity, support strap installation |
| UV housing reseal with duct section replacement | $780-$1,150 | Oil-canning extent, metal gauge match, lamp handling |
These are whole-system prices, not per-vent teaser rates. We agree to one flat price per system before work starts, and that price includes the documented photo record. No add-ons for “extra registers found” or “surprise contamination.” Call (470) 326-1926 for a free estimate - we’ll put our number next to any competitor’s written quote under our Free Second Opinion policy.
Why Johns Creek Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Johns Creek for Abatement Technologies Work
We’ve serviced Abatement Technologies equipment in Johns Creek since 2013, including neighborhoods along the Medlock Bridge corridor where two-story builds with zoned systems create the hardest-working duct configurations. Tomas Reyes and our crew know the difference between a PREDATOR 750 flex failure and a BD2KL collar crack without running the model number twice. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing on every job, not subject to manager approval. The documented photo record - inside every duct run, before and after - is standard, not an upsell. And because we also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems, we can diagnose whether the duct issue is brand-specific or a broader design problem in the home. Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews means background-checked, uniformed technicians identified by name before arrival.
FAQs
No, if the repair is performed by a qualified technician using OEM parts on the removable components. We preserve warranty coverage by not modifying the main housing or electrical systems; for BD2KL collar replacements and PREDATOR flex connections, we use OEM bolt patterns and factory-spec materials. If your unit is still under warranty, tell us when you call (470) 326-1926 and we’ll order genuine Abatement Technologies parts.
We measure static pressure and airflow at each register before and after the repair, and you receive the documented photo record showing every sealed seam and replaced section. The numbers and the images together tell the story; we don’t ask you to trust a fog machine demonstration or a mirror on a stick. Haven Standard Clause 1: Written Price Before Work Starts applies to the scope, and the photo record proves the scope was completed.
Replace when the metal duct shows widespread corrosion, the flex is brittle throughout, or repair costs exceed 60% of a new comparable system installed by a licensed contractor. Repair when the failure is localized - a single cracked collar, a compressed flex section, a failed gasket - which describes most Abatement Technologies jobs we see in Johns Creek homes built 2015-2025. We’ll tell you which category you’re in and put both options in writing.
Most single-component repairs are completed in 2-4 hours; whole-system sealing for a typical Johns Creek home takes a full day. We schedule by the job, not by the hour, so the crew stays until the post-repair test confirms the fix. We don’t quote dispatch windows or promise same-day arrival because duct work requires proper access and daylight; we do promise the job is done right before we leave.
The $79 coupon operations typically run a vacuum hose through the nearest register and call it done. Duct repair and sealing involves accessing the plenum, removing and replacing components, applying mastic by hand, and verifying with pressure tests - actual trade work that takes actual time. Our price includes that labor, the parts, the testing, and the documented photo record. Call (470) 326-1926 for an exact quote; estimates are free and we welcome your competitor’s written estimate for comparison.
