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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Live Oak, TX
Air duct cleaning in Live Oak typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve built our work around the reality of this city: a small enclave surrounded by San Antonio, sitting directly in the path of I-35 construction dust and cedar pollen from the Hill Country. Most homes here were built between the 1970s and 1990s with original ductwork that has never been cleaned. That combination means Live Oak homeowners deal with a double exposure that newer suburbs simply don’t face. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
Why Live Oak Homes Are Different
Live Oak’s housing stock sets it apart from the master-planned communities sprouting up along I-10 and 1604. The majority of homes are single-family ranches and two-story traditional builds from the 1970s through the 1990s, many still running original sheet-metal ductwork that has accumulated decades of debris. We’ve also seen newer subdivisions with flex duct, which sags more easily and traps dust in ways rigid metal doesn’t.
The climate here is humid subtropical, so HVAC systems run almost year-round, pulling in pollen, mold spores, and the fine particulate that drifts off I-35 construction zones. After every major cedar pollen surge in winter, our phones spike with calls from older neighborhoods near the city center, where original ductwork hasn’t been touched since the homes were built. High humidity and heavy rains can push moisture into leaky ducts, creating conditions where mold and mildew take hold. We dispatch from our San Antonio office, but our crews know Live Oak’s mix of housing ages and the specific problems each era of construction presents.
Our Main Live Oak Services
Live Oak homeowners call us for three core services, each handled with The Garrison Standard: written price, written guarantee, and a crew that arrives squared away.
Air Duct Cleaning in Live Oak
We clean supply and return ducts, registers, and the main trunk lines using a Rotobrush rotary brush system paired with a Nikro negative-air machine. The rotary brush scrubs the interior walls of the ductwork while the negative-air unit pulls loosened debris out of your home entirely, rather than redistributing it. In Live Oak’s older homes with original sheet-metal ductwork, we often find compacted dust layers that have settled over twenty to thirty years of continuous HVAC use. Air Duct Cleaning in Live Oak covers our full process and what to expect.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Live Oak
Lint accumulation in dryer vents is a genuine fire hazard, and in Live Oak’s humid climate, moisture can cake lint against duct walls, accelerating buildup. We run professional brushes and high-velocity air tools through the full vent run, from the back of the dryer to the exterior termination. Every job includes a airflow check before and after, so you see the difference in measurable terms. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Live Oak has full details.
Duct Sealing in Live Oak
Leaky ducts waste conditioned air and pull attic dust, pollen, and humidity into your living space. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners at joints and seams, then pressure-test the system to verify the seal holds. In Live Oak’s 1970s and 1980s builds, we’ve found original duct tape that has dried and failed, leaving gaps that explain why some rooms never cool evenly. Duct Sealing in Live Oak explains how we fix it.
