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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Antioch
Air duct cleaning in Antioch typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and is scheduled by appointment with our local crew. We’re familiar with the tract homes off Lone Tree Way, the older stock near downtown, and the newer developments edging toward Brentwood. Our technicians dispatch from the San Francisco Bay Area office and carry Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air equipment built for the dust loads we find in Contra Costa County. If you’re seeing dust blow from vents after a Delta wind event, that’s not normal. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll put eyes in your ducts with a video inspection, then give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Antioch’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our Air Duct Cleaning crew has worked enough Antioch homes to know what the Delta winds do to ductwork built in the 1980s. Homeowners here aren’t looking for the cheapest coupon in the mail. They’re looking for a crew that shows up uniformed, prices the job in writing, and doesn’t turn a $99 special into a $900 invoice at the door.
Our technicians are background-checked and held to The Garrison Code: arrive inside the window, price before touching equipment, complete the job by the book, leave the site clean. Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. No negotiation, no runaround.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You’ll never hit a voicemail loop or wait until Monday for a callback.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Antioch
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Antioch mean source removal of dust, debris, and biological growth from your entire forced-air system, followed by sealing any leaks we find. A typical residential job in Antioch runs $350 – $550 for a single-system home, with larger homes or systems with heavy contamination reaching $650. We don’t price per vent. One flat price per system, agreed before work starts, and we show you before-and-after photos of your own ducts.
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Antioch homes we see are single-family tract houses with flexible ductwork in the attic. Our residential service covers all supply and return ducts, the air handler cabinet, and registers. We use a Rotobrush rotary brush system for mechanical agitation paired with negative-air collection so debris doesn’t resettle in your home.
Video Inspection
Before we quote, we run a camera through your ductwork. In Antioch’s older subdivisions, we regularly find disconnected runs, crushed flex duct, and accumulation points where the original installer took shortcuts. You see the footage. We explain what it means for airflow and efficiency. Then we price the fix.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in Antioch
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Antioch addresses the full mechanical system, not just the visible vents. This includes the evaporator coil, blower assembly, and plenum boxes where Delta wind-driven dust collects and restricts airflow. A full system cleaning in Antioch typically costs $450 – $650, depending on system accessibility and contamination level. If we find mold or moisture damage from poorly sealed ducts, we’ll document it and price remediation separately, in writing.
Supply and Return Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms. Return ducts pull air back to the handler. In Antioch homes with original 1980s flex duct, we often find the returns leaking in the attic, drawing hot, dusty air into the system. We clean both sides and seal the leaks with mastic, not tape that will dry and fail.
Duct Sealing with Cleaning
Cleaning without sealing is half a job in this market. Antioch’s Diablo Delta wind corridor forces particulate through every gap. We apply duct sealing mastic to joints and connections, then verify with pressure testing where appropriate. The result is cleaner air and a blower motor that doesn’t work overtime.
Trusted Brands We Service in Antioch
We stock filtration and sealing products from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman for Antioch jobs. These aren’t hardware-store brands. Aprilaire media filters handle the pollen loads that come off the Delta in spring. Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration captures the fine agricultural particulate that makes it through standard pleated filters. Guardsman products finish the sealing work. Our technicians carry common sizes on the truck, so most Antioch homes don’t wait for parts. If your system uses a specialty component, we’ll source it fast and keep you informed.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Antioch Homes
- Disconnected flex duct in attics. The original flex duct in 1970s – 1990s Antioch tract homes was secured with plastic ties that degrade. After years of attic heat cycling, runs separate near the air handler or at junction boxes, pulling unfiltered attic air into the system.
- Crushed or collapsed duct runs. In the older subdivisions off Lone Tree Way, we find flex duct that was laid across framing members without proper support. The weight of insulation and time compresses the airway to a fraction of its designed capacity.
- Delta wind infiltration through leaky returns. Antioch’s seasonal winds pressurize attics and crawl spaces. When return ducts have gaps, they inhale dust and pollen directly from those spaces, bypassing the filter entirely. Homeowners notice this as dust blowing from vents after wind events.
- Winter moisture and mold in poorly sealed systems. Antioch’s mild, damp winters allow condensation in ducts with air leaks. By spring, we’re cleaning systems with visible mold growth that has been circulating through the home since January.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Antioch
You’re likely pulling unfiltered air through gaps in your return ductwork. Antioch sits in the Diablo Delta wind corridor, and strong seasonal winds pressurize attics and crawl spaces. When return ducts have leaks, they inhale dust and agricultural particulate directly from those spaces, bypassing your filter. We locate these leaks with camera inspection and seal them with mastic. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Most Antioch homes benefit from duct cleaning every 3 – 5 years, but homes in the wind corridor with original flex duct may need it every 2 – 3 years. If you see visible dust after wind events, smell must when the system runs, or notice uneven heating and cooling, schedule an inspection. The contamination cycle here is real and year-round.
Disconnected ductwork is repairable in nearly every case we see. We reconnect runs, replace degraded supports, and seal joints with mastic. A full system replacement is rarely necessary unless the ductwork is extensively damaged by rodents or collapsed beyond recovery. We show you the camera footage and price both options in writing.
NADCA, the National Air Duct Cleaners Association, sets the industry standard for source removal: mechanical agitation to loosen debris, followed by negative-air collection to extract it. We follow these standards on every Antioch job, using HEPA-filtered containment so debris doesn’t resettle in your home. Ask to see our before-and-after photos.
Yes. We work on the full range of Antioch housing stock, from historic downtown properties to 1970s subdivisions and newer edge developments. Older homes often have galvanized metal duct or early flex duct that requires careful handling. We adjust our methods and equipment to the material, and we never force a modern tool where it doesn’t belong.
