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 Brisbane, CA
Air duct cleaning in Brisbane, CA typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and is scheduled by appointment with a written price locked in before work begins. Brisbane’s mix of hillside vintage homes and Baylands townhomes creates two very different ductwork profiles, so we price by the system, not by the vent. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we’ve learned that Brisbane jobs aren’t like neighboring cities. The gravity-fed floor furnaces on Kings Road and the sealed systems in Sierra Point townhomes need different equipment, different approaches, and technicians who know when to switch. Our crews carry Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines, and we size the job to what your house actually has.
Why Brisbane Homes Are Different
Brisbane sits on the eastern slope of San Bruno Mountain, and that terrain shapes every job we do here. The 1940s and 1950s single-story homes climbing the hillside still run original mid-century ductwork, often galvanized steel with decades of settled dust, pet dander, and construction debris. These systems weren’t designed for modern filtration, and the gravity-fed floor furnaces common on streets like San Bruno Avenue don’t pressurize ducts the way forced-air systems do, so debris sits until it’s physically removed.
Down in the Baylands and Sierra Point, the housing stock flips to 1980s-2000s townhomes and condos with rigid metal ductwork and sealed systems. The problem there is Brisbane’s persistent marine layer. Cool, moist air rolls in off the bay, and when those sealed systems don’t breathe well, humidity builds inside the ducts. We’ve opened returns in waterfront units that smelled musty before we even cut the access panel. Mold in ductwork is a real issue in these neighborhoods, not a sales pitch.
No neighboring city combines this exact split: vintage hill housing with gravity furnaces and original ducts alongside modern waterfront construction with humidity-trapped sealed systems. Our technicians know which they’re walking into before they unload the van.
Our Main Brisbane Services
Brisbane homeowners call us for three jobs, each with its own page and pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Brisbane
We clean the full supply and return network, starting with a video inspection so you see what we’re seeing. In Brisbane’s hillside homes, that often means brushing out decades of compacted dust from original galvanized ducts. In Baylands townhomes, we focus on mold-prone areas and check whether the damp marine air has degraded the duct liner. Every job gets a written price before we start and before-and-after photos of your own system. Air Duct Cleaning in Brisbane
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Brisbane
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a fire hazard, and Brisbane’s older homes often have long vent runs through walls or ceilings that are hard to access. We use rotary brushes and high-velocity air to clear the full line, then verify airflow with a meter. If your dryer takes two cycles to finish a load or the laundry room feels humid, the vent is likely restricted. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Brisbane
Duct Sealing in Brisbane
Leaky ducts waste conditioned air and pull in attic or crawl space dust. In Brisbane’s hillside homes, we often find separations at original joints where tape has dried and failed. In newer construction, we check for gaps at register boots and plenum connections. We seal with mastic and metal-backed tape, then test to confirm the improvement. Duct Sealing in Brisbane

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Brisbane
No permit is required for standard duct cleaning or dryer vent cleaning in Brisbane. Duct sealing that involves structural modification or new penetrations may need a building permit; we handle the paperwork if it’s required for your specific job. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll check your scope against local requirements.
Most Brisbane townhome HOAs require 24 – 48 hour notice for service vehicles and access to utility rooms. We coordinate directly with your property manager when needed and schedule during HOA-approved hours. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, which most associations prefer for vendor approval.
We typically schedule within 3 – 5 business days, sometimes sooner depending on routing. We don’t promise same-day because duct cleaning is a scheduled, in-home service that takes 2 – 4 hours, and we don’t rush the setup or the cleanup. You’ll get a written price before we start and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing when we finish. Call (361) 326-5060 for the next available appointment.
