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.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Maple Valley’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Maple Valley homeowners call us because we’ve built a reputation on showing up inside the window and pricing in writing. No estimates that balloon once the technician is inside. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive with professional-grade Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines, the same tools commercial crews use. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Seattle office, but crews serve Maple Valley locally and understand the valley’s specific challenges: fir needles clogging intake vents after windstorms, mold growth in humid fall and winter months, and the crushed or disconnected runs common in pre-1980 rigid metal ductwork. The Garrison Standard requires arriving inside the quoted window, pricing in writing, completing the job by the book, and leaving the site clean. That’s The Garrison Code our technicians follow on every Maple Valley job.
Vent Cleaning in Maple Valley
Vent cleaning in Maple Valley means more than vacuuming registers. We remove supply and return vent covers, clean the boot and first few feet of duct behind each opening, and check for blockages specific to this valley: fir needles, cedar fronds, and compacted pollen that standard tools miss. A typical vent cleaning as part of a full system service in Maple Valley runs $75 – $150 per vent when done standalone, though most homeowners bundle it into a whole-system clean.
Supply Vent Blockages
Supply vents push conditioned air into your rooms. In Maple Valley, we find them clogged with Douglas fir pollen in late spring and early summer, plus dust from forced-air heat pumps running year-round. We use rotary brush agitation to break debris loose, then extract it with negative pressure.
Return Vent Contamination
Return vents pull air back to the handler. They sit lower on walls and collect pet hair, dirt, and the mold spores that thrive in Maple Valley’s damp seasons. We clean the full return pathway, not just the visible grille.
Air Duct Repair in Maple Valley
Air Duct Repair in Maple Valley addresses the crushed, disconnected, and unsealed runs we find in older homes, especially the pre-1980 rigid metal ductwork near the historic downtown core. Repair costs typically range from $200 – $500 for sealing and reconnection work, and $400 – $900 for replacing crushed or deteriorated sections. We always inspect with a video camera before quoting, so you know exactly what needs fixing and why.
Crushed and Disconnected Runs
Original rigid metal ducts in older Maple Valley homes get damaged during renovations, by settling foundations, or from work in crawlspaces and daylight basements. We locate the break with a camera, reconnect or replace the section, and seal with mastic rated for HVAC use.
Sealing Leaky Trunk Lines
Leaky trunk lines bypass your filter entirely. We see this in Maple Valley homes where the main duct runs through humid crawlspaces, pulling in ground-level contaminants. Proper sealing stops that infiltration and lets your Aprilaire or Honeywell filter do its actual job.
Trusted Brands We Service in Maple Valley
We stock parts and filtration products from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman for Maple Valley customers, which means faster turnaround when your system needs more than cleaning. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation cleaning and Nikro negative-air machines for source removal with HEPA filtration. We also install and service Honeywell media filters and Aprilaire whole-home purifiers. When a Maple Valley home needs a filter upgrade after we’ve sealed their ductwork, we can typically source and install it same visit rather than ordering and returning.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Maple Valley Homes
- Fir needle and cedar frond clogs after windstorms. Maple Valley’s dense conifer cover means outdoor intake vents collect debris that gets pulled deep into ductwork. Cleaners who skip the post-storm intake check leave this debris to recirculate.
- Mold and mildew in humid fall and winter seasons. The Pacific Northwest’s wet climate keeps duct humidity high. Without proper moisture control and a real MERV rating plan, mold regrows within a season of a superficial cleaning.
- Disconnected or crushed rigid metal ducts in pre-1980 homes near downtown. Original ductwork in these older homes fails at joints and branches. Vacuuming alone never fixes the real problem: unconditioned crawlspace air entering through gaps.
- Ground-level contamination from daylight basements and crawlspaces. Many Maple Valley homes have these lower levels. When ducts run through them unsealed, they draw in musty, contaminant-laden air that standard cleaning can’t address permanently.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Maple Valley, WA
Full residential air duct cleaning in Maple Valley typically costs $350 – $650 for a standard single-system home with 10 – 15 vents. Larger homes, dual-zone systems, or properties with significant contamination run $600 – $950. Commercial duct cleaning starts around $800 and scales with square footage and system complexity. What moves the price: system size, contamination level (fir needle clogs take longer), accessibility of ductwork in crawlspaces or daylight basements, and whether we find disconnected or crushed runs requiring repair. We give one flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts. No per-vent pricing, no add-ons at the door. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate. We’ll inspect your system and hand you a written quote you can compare without pressure.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Maple Valley
Original rigid metal ducts in pre-1980 Maple Valley homes near the historic downtown core develop disconnected joints, crushed sections, and unsealed branches that a vacuum cannot fix. We use video inspection to locate these failures, then reconnect, replace, or seal with mastic so ground-level crawlspace and daylight-basement contaminants stop entering your airflow. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
No, but you should inspect your outdoor intake vents after significant windstorms, and schedule a full duct check if you notice reduced airflow or new odors. After windstorms, we routinely pull fir needles and cedar fronds from Maple Valley ducts that standard cleanings missed. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
High humidity through fall and winter creates ideal conditions for mold and mildew growth inside ductwork, especially in homes with unsealed crawlspace or basement connections. We clean with source removal and HEPA filtration, then address moisture pathways and filtration upgrades to prevent rapid regrowth. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Cleaning removes debris; repair fixes physical damage to the duct system itself. In Maple Valley, repair typically means reconnecting disconnected branches, replacing crushed rigid metal sections, or sealing leaky trunk lines with mastic so your filter works as designed. We always camera-inspect before quoting repair work. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for source removal with HEPA filtration, and video inspection cameras to verify results and locate hidden damage.
