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 Elgin, TX
Air duct cleaning in Elgin, TX typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and is scheduled by appointment, not dispatched same-day. The work differs here because Elgin’s Blackland Prairie location brings intense spring pollen and some of Central Texas’s highest mold counts, while its housing stock splits between 1920s mill cottages and new subdivisions with completely different duct problems. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we dispatch crews to Elgin from our Austin scheduling office. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Why Elgin Homes Are Different
Elgin sits on the Blackland Prairie where hot, humid summers run long and spring pollen from cedar, oak, and ragweed ranks among the worst in Central Texas. That pollen blows in from surrounding farmland and ranch land, gets pulled into HVAC systems that run nearly year-round, and combines with humidity to feed mold growth inside air handlers and flex duct.
The housing tells the other half of the story. Near downtown, 1920s – 1950s mill-worker cottages sit on pier-and-beam foundations with original floor furnaces and undersized sheet-metal ducts that were never designed for modern central air. Window units and attic-mounted evaporator coils pull outdoor dust straight inside. In Trinity Ranch and Westhaven, fast-built homes from the 2000s – 2020s use flexible ductwork buried under blown-in attic insulation, often packed with construction dust and Blackland clay particles from the building phase. After a heavy spring pollen wave, we’ve found registers in older mill homes caked with fine gray-black dust from cotton-gin history, while new builds need rotary brush systems to agitate out compacted construction debris. Same city, completely different equipment and approach.
Our Main Elgin Services
Elgin homeowners call us most often for these three services. Each has its own page with full pricing, process details, and neighborhood-specific notes.
Air Duct Cleaning in Elgin
Whole-system cleaning for Elgin homes uses either negative-air method or rotary brush depending on your duct type. Older mill homes with rigid metal trunk lines respond well to negative-air machines from Nikro that pull debris downstream, while Trinity Ranch flex-duct systems need Rotobrush rotary systems to physically agitate pollen and clay dust loose without tearing the liner. We inspect first, choose the tool second, and give you a written price before we start. Air Duct Cleaning in Elgin
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Elgin
Dryer vent cleaning in Elgin runs into two local problems: longer vent runs in newer homes that trap lint, and older homes where vents terminate in crawl spaces or through walls that no longer meet code. We clean the full run from dryer to termination, check airflow with a manometer, and flag any fire-safety issues we find. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers this work too.

Duct Sealing in Elgin
Duct sealing fixes the leaks that pull attic dust and humid outside air into your system. In Elgin’s older homes, we find separated joints at floor furnaces and rusted metal seams; in newer builds, poorly taped flex connections leak conditioned air into hot attics. We use mastic and mechanical fasteners, test with a duct blaster when indicated, and leave you with before-and-after photos of the work. Duct Sealing in Elgin
