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.

We’re the Air Duct Cleaning crew that serves Cameron Park from our Sacramento office, dispatching uniformed, background-checked technicians to homes off Cambridge Road, along Coach Lane, and up into the Knollwood Drive area. We know the mix of 1980s tract builds and semi-customs on slab and raised foundations, the original flex duct that was run when the house was new, and the sheet-metal retrofits that got spliced in after the first HVAC replacement. That matters because Cameron Park’s ductwork has personality: two smoke pipelines hit these homes every year, and the debris that collects isn’t ordinary dust.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Cameron Park’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Hollis Air Duct Cleaning has been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our Cameron Park customers know the difference between a crew that wipes registers and one that opens the air handler. Roy Castellanos leads our operation, and The Garrison Standard governs every dispatch: arrive inside the window, price in writing before touching equipment, complete the job by the book, leave the site clean. No estimate balloons at the door. No voicemail loops when you call. A live person answers our phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Our technicians carry Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines, the same equipment commercial crews run in hospitals and schools. Every job gets a written price before work starts and is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That’s not a verbal handshake. It’s on the paperwork.
Cameron Park homeowners call us because they’ve already experienced the alternative: a low teaser quote that ignored the second and third systems, a crew that never opened the blower cabinet, or a job “completed” with no photos and no proof. We document what we find, what we remove, and what the system looks like after. You see it even if you can’t crawl into the attic yourself.
Air Duct Inspection in Cameron Park
Air Duct Inspection in Cameron Park is the first step before any cleaning work begins, and it’s where we document what the two annual smoke pipelines have left inside your system. Our technician runs a video camera through the supply and return trunks, stops at flex-to-sheet-metal connections, and records the condition of the blower motor and evaporator coil inside the air handler. In Cameron Park, we typically find gray ash film on the north-facing return ducts, pollen buildup at the return grilles, and debris trapped where old flex duct meets newer metal after an HVAC replacement. A single-system inspection runs $150 – $250; for homes with two or three systems, we price each additional inspection at $100 – $175.
What the Camera Reveals
The video feed goes to a monitor you can watch in real time. We stop at collars, dampers, and splices to show you where debris is collecting and where the duct has separated or collapsed. In Cameron Park’s 1990s semi-customs, we often find ash packed into the flex duct on the north wall where the southwest wind drives smoke against the house.
Written Report and Pricing
After the inspection, you get a written report with still images and a flat price for the cleaning work, per system, before any equipment gets opened. If you decline the cleaning, you keep the report. No charge for the visit if you proceed with service.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Cameron Park
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Cameron Park means source removal: we put the duct system under negative pressure with a Nikro negative-air machine, agitate the interior walls with a Rotobrush rotary brush system, and collect all debris in a HEPA-filtered drum. For a typical single-system home in Cameron Park, the job runs $350 – $650. Two-system homes run $600 – $1,100, and three-system properties, common in the larger tracts off Cambridge Road and the Coach Lane corridor, run $900 – $1,800. Every price is written and agreed before we start.
Multi-System Homes and Per-System Pricing
Many Cameron Park houses built between 1985 and 2005 have two or three air handlers to serve upstairs, downstairs, and sometimes a guest wing or converted garage. We price each system separately because each has its own return ducts, blower, and debris load. A “whole-house” quote that ignores the second or third system leaves ash circulating in the rooms you actually sleep in.
Air Handler and Blower Cabinet Cleaning
We open every air handler and clean the blower motor, wheel, and cabinet interior. Ash cakes on these components after smoke events, and if they’re not cleaned, they re-contaminate the ducts within days. We photograph before and after. You see what came out.
Trusted Brands We Service in Cameron Park
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for source removal, and filtration products from Honeywell and Aprilaire that we install when a homeowner’s system needs upgraded protection against Cameron Park’s seasonal smoke and pollen loads. We stock common parts and media locally, so if your inspection reveals a failing filter frame or a separated flex duct that needs repair, we can often handle it the same visit rather than ordering parts and rescheduling. For homes in the El Dorado County portion of Cameron Park, we also spec Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration when the property sits closer to the oak woodland edge and sees heavier spring pollen. The brands matter because they determine whether the equipment can handle foothill debris loads or is just hardware-store gear pushed into a commercial job.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Cameron Park Homes
- Gray ash film in north-facing return ducts after prescribed burns. The prevailing southwest wind drives smoke against the north wall of Cameron Park homes, and the return grilles on that side pull ash deep into the system even when indoor air smells clean. We find this on homes along Knollwood Drive and in the Cambridge Road corridor every fall.
- Debris trapped at flex-to-sheet-metal connections after HVAC replacements. Most Cameron Park houses have had at least one system upgrade, and the splice between old flex and new metal creates a ledge where dust, pollen, and ash collect. A rotary brush without negative pressure just packs it tighter.
- Blower motors caked with ash that re-contaminates cleaned ducts. Crews that never open the air handler leave the dirtiest component untouched. Within a week of “cleaning,” the blower throws ash back into every supply run. We open and clean every cabinet.
- Per-vent pricing that ignores system count. A Cameron Park home with three air handlers and twenty registers gets quoted by the vent, so the second and third systems are barely touched. We price per system, not per vent, so every return and supply trunk gets full source removal.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Cameron Park
The smoke smell is coming from ash trapped in your return ducts and blower cabinet, not the living space. In Cameron Park, southwest winds push smoke against the north-facing wall, and return grilles on that side draw ash deep into the system where it coats the blower motor and flex-to-trunk connections. Even when registers look clean, the air handler is still circulating particulate every time the fan runs. We open the cabinet and document what we find. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection.
Each system should be priced and cleaned separately, because each has its own return ducts, blower, and debris load. A single “whole-house” quote often means the second and third systems get skipped or surface-cleaned only. Our pricing is per system, flat rate, written before work starts. For a typical three-system Cameron Park home, expect $900 – $1,800 depending on accessibility and condition. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote.
Yes. The Delta breeze inversion traps fine particulate, pollen, and wildfire ash against the foothills, and your outdoor air intake pulls it in when the system runs. Cameron Park’s oak woodlands add a heavy spring pollen load that coats return grilles and duct interiors. The fog itself carries mold spores and fine dust that settle in damp cooler sections of the duct. We see this as a gray-green film in the north-side flex runs during summer inspections.
You should receive dated before-and-after photos of the blower cabinet, return trunk, and at least one supply run; a written invoice listing each system cleaned and the flat price per system; and a copy of the 365-Day Done Right Promise. We also show you the debris collected in the clear HEPA drum before we dispose of it. If a company won’t document what they removed, you have no proof the work happened. We provide this on every Cameron Park job.
It’s common in Cameron Park’s 1980s – 2000s housing stock, but the splice point traps debris and can separate if agitated without negative pressure. We inspect every connection with a camera first, then use controlled rotary brush agitation with continuous negative-air extraction so nothing gets pushed deeper or dislodges into the living space. If a connection has failed, we note it in the written report and can often repair it during the cleaning visit. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
