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.
Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Edgewater
Air duct cleaning in Edgewater typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system and is scheduled within a few business days, with crews dispatched from our Baltimore office. If your vents are pushing dust after the oak and maple pollen drops in April, or you’re catching a musty note from last season’s humidity trapped in the ductwork, you’re dealing with the same conditions we see in waterfront ranches off the South River and in the subdivisions near Route 2.
We’ve worked in Edgewater long enough to know the difference between a 1968 split-level with original sheet-metal trunk lines and a 2005 build with flex duct that needs a gentler rotary brush pass. Our technicians arrive uniformed, background-checked, and equipped with Rotobrush and Nikro systems. When you call (361) 326-5060, a live person answers, 24 hours a day.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Edgewater’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Edgewater homeowners know the air here carries more than salt off the South River. Spring pollen loads from the surrounding forests are heavy enough to coat window screens in a day, and that same material collects inside duct systems that haven’t been opened in years. We’ve cleaned ducts in the older neighborhoods along the Rhode River where crawlspaces still hold moisture from January freeze-thaw cycles, and in the newer subdivisions near Mayo Road where builders sealed flex duct so tightly that debris has nowhere to exit.
Our crew follows The Garrison Standard on every Edgewater job: arrive inside the quoted window, price the work in writing before touching anything, complete the job by the book, and leave the site clean. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every cleaning in writing. If the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Phones are answered by a live person around the clock. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday morning to schedule.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Edgewater
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Edgewater covers office suites, retail spaces, medical clinics, and small warehouse facilities where accumulated debris restricts airflow and strains HVAC equipment. A typical commercial system in Edgewater runs $800 – $2,400 depending on square footage, duct complexity, and whether the building uses original metal trunk lines or retrofitted flex sections. We schedule these jobs to minimize disruption to your operation, often working early mornings or weekends.
System Assessment and Video Documentation
We start with a video inspection using a borescope camera that travels the full duct run. You see what we see: pollen buildup, mold staining, disconnected boots, or crushed flex lines left by previous contractors. This footage becomes part of your service record and supports any insurance or warranty claims.
Negative-Air Cleaning with HEPA Containment
Our Nikro negative-air machines create suction at the far end of the duct system while rotary brushes dislodge debris at the source. Contaminants are captured in HEPA-filtered collectors, not released back into your workspace. For Edgewater medical and dental offices, this method meets the containment standards these environments require.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Edgewater
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Edgewater address the specific conditions this climate and housing stock create: heavy spring pollen accumulation, summer humidity that promotes mold growth in basement and crawlspace runs, and storm-surge moisture that can introduce river sediment into low-lying duct systems. A typical full residential cleaning in Edgewater costs $350 – $650, with supply-only or return-only cleanings at the lower end of that range. We price by the complete system, not by the vent, and the written quote you receive before work starts is the price you pay.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms; return ducts pull it back for reconditioning. In Edgewater’s 1960s ranches, we often find return plenums packed with decades of pollen, pet dander, and fine silt from the nearby rivers. Cleaning both sides of the loop restores balanced airflow and reduces the load on your blower motor.

Full System Cleaning with Sealing Check
After debris removal, we pressure-test the duct system for leaks. Many older Edgewater homes have minimal original sealing at joints and boots. If we find significant leakage, we’ll note it in our report and can discuss Duct Sealing in Edgewater as a separate service. Clean ducts with intact seals perform better and stay cleaner longer.

Trusted Brands We Service in Edgewater
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for residential flex and light metal duct, Nikro negative-air machines for commercial and heavy-residential jobs, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. We stock common replacement parts and filter sizes for Edgewater customers, which means faster turnaround when a cleaning reveals a component that needs attention. Our technicians are trained on each manufacturer’s specifications, so a Honeywell media cabinet gets the correct filter depth and an Aprilaire electronic air cleaner gets the right pre-filter match. This matters because mismatched parts in duct systems are a common source of the whistling, rattling, and reduced airflow that brings Edgewater homeowners back to us for follow-up work.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Edgewater Homes
- Pollen-packed returns after oak and maple season. The dense forests surrounding Edgewater release massive pollen loads each April and May. Return ducts in homes near the South River pull this material directly into the system, where it cakes on blower wheels and filter racks.
- Mold staining in crawlspace flex runs. Humid Mid-Atlantic summers and poor crawlspace ventilation create conditions for mold growth on the interior of flex duct. We find this most often in the low-lying waterfront areas where groundwater stays high and airflow is restricted.
- Disconnected boots and crushed take-offs from flood retrofits. In Edgewater’s older waterfront neighborhoods, duct systems have often been modified multiple times after storm-surge events. Previous contractors left flex runs disconnected or crushed behind insulation, creating dead zones where no conditioned air arrives.
- River sediment in basement trunk lines. After coastal flooding or significant nor’easter surge, fine silt from the South or Rhode rivers can enter basement duct systems through gaps in the foundation or poorly sealed return pathways. The smell is unmistakable, and standard vacuuming won’t remove it.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Edgewater, MD
A typical residential full-system cleaning in Edgewater runs $350 – $650. Supply-only or return-only cleanings fall at $200 – $400. Commercial systems range from $800 – $2,400 depending on square footage and access complexity. What moves you within these ranges: the number of air handlers, whether the system includes a basement trunk line or crawlspace distribution, the degree of contamination (heavy mold or sediment requires more containment setup), and whether video inspection or dryer vent cleaning is bundled with the job.
We do not quote per-vent pricing. That structure invites bait-and-switch tactics, and we don’t operate that way. The price is written down before any work starts, and it does not move at the door. Every Edgewater customer receives a detailed scope of work with the fixed price attached.
Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate. We’ll ask about your home’s age, duct material, and any symptoms you’ve noticed, then give you a straight range with no obligation.

Pricing is comparable between Edgewater and Annapolis, though Edgewater’s older waterfront homes sometimes require additional containment setup for crawlspace work or sediment removal. The $350 – $650 residential range applies across both markets; your specific quote depends on your home’s duct configuration and condition, not your ZIP code.
If any part of our cleaning fails within one year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. This covers re-contamination due to incomplete debris removal, damage to ductwork during cleaning, and any equipment malfunction traceable to our work. The promise is written on every Edgewater job, not implied.
