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 Three Lakes
Air duct cleaning in Three Lakes, FL typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system and $800 – $1,400 for commercial setups, with most jobs scheduled within a few business days. We’re the Air Duct Cleaning team that serves Three Lakes from our Miami-area dispatch office, and we know the difference between a duct that needs cleaning and one that needs replacement after Florida’s summer storms. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Three Lakes sits in Miami-Dade County with a tropical monsoon climate that punishes ductwork differently than anywhere else in the state. The high water table, near-daily summer thunderstorms, and humidity that rarely dips below 70% mean your attic flex ducts can be breeding mold while your registers still blow cold air. We’ve worked in the Bonita Lakes area and throughout Three Lakes long enough to know that post-storm duct calls here aren’t about dust – they’re about water, and whether that water has ruined the insulation inside your flex runs.
Our crews arrive in uniform, background-checked, and on time. The price is written down before we touch your system. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how we operate in every Three Lakes home we enter.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Three Lakes’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Hollis Air Duct Cleaning has been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our Miami-area office dispatches crews to Three Lakes regularly. We don’t subcontract to random vans with magnetic signs. Our technicians are employees, uniformed, and accountable to The Garrison Code: arrive inside the window, price in writing, complete the job by the book, leave the site clean.
Three Lakes homeowners call us back because we document what we find. After a July storm in the Bonita Lakes area of Three Lakes, our tech pulled a supply run off the plenum and found standing water inside the flex jacket, soaked insulation, and visible mold growth on the inner liner near the air handler. We ran a camera inspection on the return side, documented the moisture with photos and a moisture meter reading, and recommended replacement of that run rather than cleaning – which the homeowner’s insurer accepted using our report. That kind of documentation separates a proper job from a quick vacuum-and-go.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops. No callback queues. When you’re staring at a water stain on your ceiling register after a thunderstorm, you don’t want to leave a message.
Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. No negotiation. No “let us check our schedule.”
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Three Lakes
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Three Lakes address the unique challenges of tropical-climate ductwork: mold, moisture, and biological growth that dry-climate systems rarely face. Our process starts with a video inspection using a scope camera, followed by either a rotary brush cleaning with a Rotobrush system or negative-air extraction with a Nikro machine, depending on contamination type and duct material. For a typical Three Lakes home, residential duct cleaning runs $350 – $650; commercial systems start around $800 and scale with square footage and HVAC zones.
Residential Duct Cleaning
Three Lakes homes built in the 1980s and 1990s often have flex duct runs in hot attics where the insulation jacket degrades and the inner liner collects moisture. We clean supply and return trunks, branch lines, and registers using rotary brushes or negative-air methods matched to your duct type. Before we start, you’ll have a written price that doesn’t change when we arrive.

Commercial Duct Cleaning
Three Lakes office parks and retail spaces need scheduled cleanings that don’t disrupt business hours. We coordinate access, contain work areas, and document completion with before-and-after photos for facility managers and property insurers. Commercial pricing depends on system complexity, but most Three Lakes commercial jobs fall between $800 – $1,400.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in Three Lakes
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Three Lakes requires understanding how this area’s climate turns ordinary dust into active mold colonies within days of a storm. We don’t just remove debris; we evaluate whether your ductwork has become a moisture reservoir that cleaning alone cannot fix. A standard residential HVAC duct cleaning in Three Lakes costs $350 – $650, with antimicrobial treatment added when video inspection shows biological growth.
Video Inspection and Documentation
We feed a camera through your supply and return lines before deciding on cleaning versus replacement. In Three Lakes, we often find moisture in attic flex runs that the homeowner never suspected because the registers still blow cold air. Our inspection reports include photos, moisture readings, and written recommendations – the documentation insurers require for water-damage claims.
Post-Storm Assessment Protocol
After summer thunderstorms, we prioritize Three Lakes calls where the homeowner reports musty odors or reduced airflow. We check the plenum, coil pan, and low spots in flex runs where condensation pools. Sometimes cleaning is appropriate. Sometimes the insulation is saturated and replacement is the only permanent fix. We tell you which, in writing, before any work begins.
Trusted Brands We Service in Three Lakes
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for light-to-moderate residential buildup, Nikro negative-air machines for heavy contamination and commercial jobs, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. We don’t show up with a shop vac and a brush. The tools we use in Three Lakes are the same ones commercial crews use in hospitals and schools, and we explain what each does while we’re working. If your system needs a filtration upgrade after cleaning, we stock Guardsman media filters and Honeywell electronic air cleaners with fast turnaround from our Miami-area parts inventory.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Three Lakes Homes
- Moisture hiding inside flex duct jackets. Because Three Lakes sits on a high water table with near-daily summer thunderstorms, attic flex duct runs here can condense moisture on the inside of the jacket even when the ducts look dry from the outside – which is why post-storm calls in Three Lakes often hinge on whether the insulation is wet, not whether the duct is dirty.
- Mold returning within days of “cleaning.” Cleaning a duct that has been wet since a storm instead of replacing it – mold returns within days because the insulation never dries. We’ve seen this after cheap cleanings in the Bonita Lakes area where the tech never pulled the duct to check the jacket.
- Condensation in low attic spots. Missing moisture hiding in the attic flex runs above the ceiling, where condensation collects in the low spots and never shows at the registers. Homeowners smell mustiness but can’t find the source until we run a camera.
- Biological growth established before anyone looks. Skipping a post-storm camera inspection because the system is still cooling, letting biological growth establish before anyone looks inside the duct. In Three Lakes’s humidity, “still cooling” does not mean “still dry.”

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Three Lakes
Pull a supply register and smell the airflow; if it’s musty, the flex jacket likely has moisture inside. We use a camera scope and moisture meter to check the insulation – if it’s wet, replacement is usually necessary because mold will return within days of cleaning. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll document what we find for your insurer.
Three Lakes’s tropical monsoon climate combines high humidity, a high water table, and near-daily summer thunderstorms that cool attic ductwork enough to cause condensation on the inner liner. Dry inland Florida doesn’t have this triple combination, so their ducts don’t experience the same rapid biological growth. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection if you smell mustiness after storms.
Insurers want dated photos, moisture meter readings, and a written statement from a qualified technician explaining why cleaning is insufficient. We provide all three, plus video documentation of the interior duct condition. Our reports have been accepted by major carriers serving the Three Lakes area. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule documentation before you file your claim.
Every two to three years for maintenance, but immediately after any storm where water may have entered the attic or you notice musty odors. The humidity here means biological growth can establish in 48 – 72 hours, so waiting for your next scheduled cleaning risks permanent duct damage. Call (361) 326-5060 for a post-storm inspection.
Yes, our Nikro negative-air machines maintain proper containment and extraction per NADCA guidelines, and our Rotobrush systems are used only where appropriate for the duct material and contamination type. We explain which method we’re using and why before we start. Call (361) 326-5060 for specifics on your system.
