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 Virginia Beach, VA
Air duct cleaning in Virginia Beach runs $350 – $650 for a typical single-system home, with most jobs completed in one visit. What drives the real cost isn’t the room count; it’s the condition of ductwork shaped by salt air, crawlspace moisture, and decades of coastal humidity. At Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, we price every Virginia Beach job in writing before we start, backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Virginia Beach Homes Are Different
Virginia Beach sits on one of the highest water tables on the Atlantic coast, and that changes everything about how we approach ductwork. The city is dominated by post-WWII ranch houses, 1970s split-levels, and 1980s-90s subdivisions, many built on slab or crawlspace foundations with original galvanized or early flexible duct systems. In neighborhoods like Oceanfront, Thoroughgood, and Kempsville, we regularly find crawlspace ductwork with visible rust and mold stains on the exterior wrap. The combination of near-saturation humidity and salt fog from the Atlantic keeps those spaces damp year-round, a problem that fades just a few miles inland where the water table drops and salt spray is negligible.
Attic-based air handlers are common in newer construction, but older homes often have ducts buried in dirt crawlspaces with no vapor barrier. Relative humidity here frequently stays above 70% even on cool days, and heavy rain events or nor’easters can flood low-lying crawlspaces, introducing standing water and silt directly into the system. Every Virginia Beach job starts with assessing whether we’re dealing with corrosion, microbial growth, or both.
Our Main Virginia Beach Services
Most Virginia Beach homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Virginia Beach
We clean supply and return ducts with a Rotobrush rotary brush system or Nikro negative-air machine, depending on whether the home has rigid metal ductwork or flexible lines. In Virginia Beach, flexible ducts in crawlspaces often need gentler handling because the salt-air corrosion has weakened the outer wrap. We also inspect for standing water and microbial staining before we start. Air Duct Cleaning in Virginia Beach
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Virginia Beach
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a fire hazard anywhere, but in Virginia Beach the humid air can make lint clump and stick more aggressively, especially in longer vent runs through crawlspaces or exterior walls. We run a rotary brush and high-velocity vacuum from the exterior cap back to the dryer, then measure airflow to confirm the restriction is gone. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Virginia Beach
Duct Sealing in Virginia Beach
Leaky ducts in Virginia Beach crawlspaces don’t just waste energy; they pull in musty, mold-laden air every time the system runs. We seal joints and seams with mastic and reinforced tape, then pressure-test to verify the seal. In salt-corroded systems, we flag sections that need replacement rather than sealing.
