Call (361) 326-5060

Our crews serve Alvin from our Houston dispatch office, and we’ve worked enough homes along 1462, near the Alvin Community College area, and in the older neighborhoods south of downtown to know what hides in these ducts. The combination of agricultural dust from decades of rice farming and repeated hurricane flooding creates a repair-and-remediation job here, not a simple vacuum-out. When you’re ready for an honest assessment, call (361) 326-5060. Estimates are free, and we put the full price in writing before any work starts.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Alvin’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company

We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our Air Duct Cleaning team has built a reputation in Brazoria County by showing up inside the window, pricing in writing, and leaving the site clean. Alvin homeowners aren’t looking for the cheapest coupon in the mail; they’re looking for a crew that won’t turn a $300 quote into a $900 invoice once the van is in the driveway.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they work under The Garrison Standard: written price before any work begins, 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job, and a free second visit if the repair fails within that year. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops. No callback queues.

We know Alvin’s housing stock. The ranch homes built in the 1960s and 70s near Mustang Bayou, the farmhouses out toward Rosharon, the subdivisions that went up after Ike and Harvey – each has different duct materials, different failure modes, and different solutions. That local knowledge means we don’t waste your time guessing.

Ductwork Cleaning in Alvin

Ductwork Cleaning in Alvin means more than brushing out dust. It means addressing decades of rice-harvest particulate packed into original galvanized runs, moisture damage from slab-foundation flooding, and the mold blooms that follow every tropical storm. Most Alvin homes we see have never had their ducts properly sealed, so contamination returns within months of a surface clean.

A typical residential Ductwork Cleaning in Alvin runs $350 – $550 for a standard ranch home with one system. Older farmhouses with multiple additions, crushed flex runs, or flood damage can run $500 – $850 depending on access and repair needs. We price by the system, not by the vent. One flat price, agreed before we start.

What We Find in Older Ranch Homes

The mid-century ranches near Alvin’s original downtown often have galvanized steel supply ducts that have never been opened since installation. We find layers of agricultural dust compacted into a mat, corrosion at the joints, and disconnected runs in the attic where settling has pulled seams apart. Our rotary brush system from Rotobrush breaks that compaction loose, and our Nikro negative-air machine pulls it out under HEPA filtration so it doesn’t resettle in your living room.

Post-Storm Remediation

After a tropical storm soaked a mid-century ranch off the 1462 corridor near the old rice fields, our tech pulled the air handler panel and found standing water in the return plenum that had crept in through a foundation penetration, with silt coating the original galvanized supply runs. We ran camera inspection on every branch, cut out and replaced two crushed flex runs in the attic, disinfected the wet sections under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, then sealed the foundation penetration and reconnected the system before the homeowner ran the blower motor again. That level of remediation runs higher than routine cleaning, but it’s the only way to prevent mold from colonizing the entire system.

Air Duct Inspection in Alvin

Air Duct Inspection in Alvin should happen before you buy an older home, after any flooding event, and whenever you notice musty airflow or uneven temperatures from room to room. We use video inspection cameras that travel the full length of your duct runs, so you see what we see: corrosion, standing water, crushed flex, or mold colonies you would never detect from the registers.

A standalone Air Duct Inspection in Alvin costs $150 – $250. If you proceed with cleaning or repair, we apply that inspection fee toward the work. For homes in the 77511 and 77512 ZIP codes that have taken on water during recent storms, we recommend inspection before running the HVAC system again. Reconnecting flooded but uncleaned ductwork to a new air handler pushes mold spores and silt straight through your registers and into your blower motor.

When to Inspect Before Cleaning

Not every Alvin home needs a full clean. Sometimes the camera shows us that two runs are disconnected in the attic and the rest of the system is clean. In that case, we repair and seal rather than charge you for unnecessary brushing. The inspection saves money when the problem is mechanical, not contamination.

Slab-Foundation Penetrations

Alvin sits close enough to the Gulf that storm surge and heavy rain push water into slab-foundation homes through foundation penetrations, so ductwork here floods from the ground up rather than from a roof leak – a pattern inland Houston suburbs rarely see. Our inspection protocol includes checking these penetration points with a borescope, because sealing the entry is the only way to stop repeat flooding. We’ve found homeowners who cleaned and disinfected three times without ever fixing the actual leak path.

Trusted Brands We Service in Alvin

We carry filtration and sealing products from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman, and we deploy Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines on every Alvin job. These aren’t hardware-store tools; they’re the same systems commercial crews use in hospitals and schools. For Alvin homeowners, that means we can source replacement components and filtration upgrades without waiting on out-of-town shipping. If your ranch home needs a media filter upgrade after a clean, or your farmhouse needs duct sealing mastic to close gaps where dust pulls in from the attic, we stock it and install it same visit.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Alvin Homes

• Moisture wicking into original galvanized or flex runs through slab-foundation penetrations after hurricanes or heavy rain, feeding mold the homeowner never sees. The water doesn’t always reach your carpet; sometimes it stops in the duct board or metal plenum and evaporates slowly, leaving behind mold that spreads through the system every time the blower cycles.
• Rice-harvest and agricultural dust packing the supply and return ducts in older farmhouses where the ducts were never sealed, so contamination returns within months of a clean. Without sealing the attic connections and register boots, the negative pressure of your return side pulls new dust in as fast as we remove the old.
• Reconnecting flooded but uncleaned ductwork to a new or repaired air handler, which pushes mold spores and silt straight back through the registers and blower motor. We’ve been called to Alvin homes where a contractor replaced the HVAC unit after Harvey but never inspected the ducts, and the new equipment was blowing contaminated air within a week.
• Crushed or sagging flex duct in attic spaces where summer heat has degraded the outer jacket, collapsing airflow to back bedrooms. The ranch homes near Alvin’s older commercial corridors often have flex runs that were never properly supported, creating low spots where condensation pools and restricts airflow to the rooms that need it most.
