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.

AfterNikro Duct Repair & Sealing in Aurora: What to Know First
We provide independent Nikro duct repair and sealing in Aurora, typically completing single-zone repairs in one visit and full-system sealing in a scheduled half-day. Every job starts with a written flat price before any panel comes off, and every duct run is photographed before and after as part of our standard deliverable. This page is for Aurora homeowners with Nikro air duct systems who need actual repair work - sealing leaks, repairing damaged flex or metal ductwork, or restoring insulation - not a sales pitch disguised as service. Call (720) 513-5159 for a free written estimate.
How Nikro Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Nikro PS1000 and PS2000 portable air scrubber duct connections - the flexible intake hose barbs on these units crack after repeated flexing in Aurora’s dry climate, especially when stored in unconditioned garages through winter. We replace with reinforced aftermarket barb fittings rated for the PS-series cfm range, or transition to hard-piped connections where the unit is permanently mounted.
- Nikro SL4000 and SL5000 air duct cleaning vacuum collector hose cuffs - the molded plastic cuffs at the vacuum inlet fatigue around the clamp line after two to three years of daily use. In Aurora homes, we see this most often on units purchased by prior owners who ran them hard. We install replacement cuffs with stainless worm-gear clamps, or upgrade to band-clamp assemblies on SL5000 units where the hose diameter allows.
- Nikro flex duct adapter collars on negative-pressure systems - the stamped-metal adapter collars on older Nikro flex duct attachments deform at the set-screw points, creating air leaks that reduce extraction efficiency. We remove the collar, true the flange on a brake if salvageable, or fabricate a replacement collar from 26-gauge galvanized stock with properly spaced set-screw bosses.
- Nikro duct sealing mastic application tools - the factory brush assemblies on Nikro mastic carts shed bristles into fresh sealant, contaminating the repair. We strip the factory brush, clean the mastic reservoir, and apply with dedicated duct-sealing brushes that don’t shed, or switch to pressure-driven mastic injection for large plenum seams where brush access is poor.
- Nikro HEPA filter housing gaskets on combined cleaning/sealing systems - the silicone gasket between the HEPA housing and the blower deck hardens in Aurora’s high-altitude UV exposure, breaking the negative-pressure seal. We measure the groove, source replacement gasket material rated for continuous 140°F operation, and re-torque the housing to manufacturer spec so the system holds test pressure.
Our Nikro Duct Repair & Sealing Process
- 1
Call and schedule. We answer live, confirm your Nikro model if you know it, and book a diagnostic appointment. No deposit.
- 2
On-site diagnostic with photo documentation. We inspect every accessible duct run, plenum, and connection point. The camera shows what’s actually there - a separated flex duct at a trunk tee, a rusted metal seam, mastic that’s dried and cracked - and we photograph it before touching anything.
- 3
Written scope and price. Haven Standard Clause 1: we deliver a written flat price for the agreed work before any repair starts. No per-foot add-ons, no “while we’re here” surprises.
- 4
Parts decision: OEM Nikro or quality aftermarket. For current-production Nikro components, we quote OEM when available and cost-effective. For discontinued PS-series parts or where Nikro lead times exceed a week, we specify quality aftermarket equivalents with compatible pressure and temperature ratings, documented in writing.
- 5
Repair, seal, and pressure-test. We execute the repair, apply mastic or sealant to spec, and verify with a pressure test or smoke pencil where applicable. Every sealed seam is photographed.
- 6
Deliver photo record and written guarantee. You receive before-and-after photos of every duct run we touched, plus the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Haven Standard Clause 6.

What moves the price: accessibility (crawlspace vs. unfinished basement), extent of damage we find once panels are off, and whether Nikro OEM parts are still in production for your unit’s vintage. We quote the full number in writing before starting. Call (720) 513-5159 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Why Aurora Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Aurora for Nikro Work
We’re an independent Nikro service provider - not affiliated with or authorized by Nikro - which means we source parts based on what actually fixes your system, not what a factory rep needs to move. Tomas Reyes, our owner and lead technician, has handled Nikro equipment since the PS1000 era and knows which parts interchange with Rotobrush and Abatement Technologies lines when Nikro stock runs thin. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier duct systems, so when your Nikro unit ties into a mixed-manufacturer setup, we don’t stop at the brand label.
Every crew is background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing, not a phone-tree policy. And the photo record - every duct run, before and after - is standard, not an upsell.
FAQs
No - Nikro’s warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship on equipment they manufactured, not subsequent service performed by independent technicians. We document our repair methods and parts sources in writing, so if a warranty question ever arises, you have a clear record of what was done and when. Call (720) 513-5159 if you need help interpreting your warranty terms.
Current-production parts typically arrive in three to five business days; discontinued PS-series and early SL components may take two weeks or longer, or may be unavailable. We keep common aftermarket equivalents in stock and will quote both options in writing so you choose based on timeline and cost. Call (720) 513-5159 to check availability for your specific model.
Repair makes sense when the damage is localized - a separated flex run, a few failed seams, a cracked adapter - and the rest of the system is sound. We recommend replacement when the ductwork is past its service life (typically 20-25 years for flex, 30-40 for metal) or when repair costs exceed 60% of replacement. We show you the photo first, then we talk about what comes next. Call (720) 513-5159 for an honest assessment.
We pressure-test sealed systems and provide dated before-and-after photographs of every duct run we touched, delivered as part of your job record. You see the gap before the mastic and the sealed seam after. Haven Standard Clause 4: Documented Results. If you want to verify independently, we can arrange a third-party duct-blaster test at your request. Call (720) 513-5159 to discuss documentation options.
We schedule diagnostic appointments within our regular booking calendar, not on an emergency basis - duct repair and sealing is planned work that benefits from proper preparation and parts availability. Most Aurora customers get an appointment within two to four business days. Call (720) 513-5159 to book.
