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 Wauna
Air duct cleaning in Wauna typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. Our crews dispatch from the Seattle office and carry the tools to handle everything from salt-corroded metal ductwork near the shoreline to the original systems still running in mid-century cabins off Key Peninsula Highway.
We know Wauna’s housing stock because we’ve worked inside it. The mix of vintage cabins, manufactured homes on well and septic, and newer custom builds means no two duct systems look alike. Some crawlspaces stay damp year-round from marine humidity. Others have ducts that haven’t been opened since the 1970s. Roy Castellanos and our team treat every home like the unique job it is, with a written price agreed before any equipment runs and a 365-Day Done Right Promise backing the work.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Wauna’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and that track record matters in a community like Wauna where word travels fast along the Key Peninsula. Our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, and inside the quoted window. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday for someone to pick up the phone.
Wauna homeowners get the same discipline we bring everywhere: price in writing before work starts, site left clean, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in hand. If the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That guarantee is backed in writing on every job, not negotiated at the door.
Our Air Duct Cleaning crews serve Wauna with equipment that matches what commercial operations use: Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and filtration products from Honeywell and Aprilaire. We don’t bring hardware-store gear into your home. We bring tools sized for the job, explained in plain terms before we start.
Vent Cleaning in Wauna
Vent cleaning in Wauna starts with understanding how this marine environment attacks your system. Salt-laden air off Carr Inlet corrodes metal registers and exterior vent caps faster than inland climates, and fall storms drive needles, leaves, and debris into openings that homeowners don’t check until airflow drops. Our vent cleaning service removes built-up contaminants from every supply and return vent, restoring proper airflow and reducing the load on your HVAC equipment.
For most Wauna homes, vent cleaning runs $150 – $280 as a standalone service, or it’s included in a full system cleaning. We use rotary brush tools and negative-air extraction to pull debris back toward the vacuum, not blow it deeper into your ducts.
When Vents Need Attention
You’ll notice weak airflow from specific rooms, visible dust puffing from registers when the system kicks on, or a musty smell that lingers after the fan stops. In Wauna’s older cabins, we often find vents partially blocked by decades of accumulation or by pest activity in crawlspaces. We inspect every opening and show you what we find before cleaning begins.
Exterior Vent Protection
Homes near the shoreline or backing onto wooded lots need exterior vent caps checked seasonally. We install or recommend guards where appropriate, but we never block airflow. The goal is keeping debris out without trapping moisture in, a balance that matters especially in Wauna’s humid months.
Air Duct Repair in Wauna
Air Duct Repair in Wauna addresses the damage that Wauna’s specific conditions cause: salt corrosion at metal joints, separation of duct runs in damp crawlspaces, and holes chewed by rodents seeking shelter from marine weather. We don’t patch and pray. We cut out damaged sections, seal connections with proper mastic and metal-backed tape, and test airflow before we leave.
Repair costs in Wauna typically fall between $200 – $550 depending on accessibility and extent of damage. A single disconnected flex duct in a crawlspace runs toward the lower end. Multiple corroded metal sections in a shoreline home with salt exposure may reach the higher range. Every repair gets a written price before we touch tools.
Rust and Corrosion Fixes
Metal ductwork near the water develops pinhole leaks and flaky corrosion that most homeowners never see. We replace compromised sections with galvanized or appropriate alternative materials and seal joints with mastic rated for damp environments. The repair is photographed before and after for your records.
Crawlspace Duct Restoration
Wauna’s many homes on well and septic often have ductwork running through crawlspaces that stay moist year-round. We encounter sagging flex duct, disconnected boots, and mold on insulation. Our repairs restore proper support and sealing, and we flag conditions that may need Duct Sealing in Wauna to prevent recurrence.
Trusted Brands We Service in Wauna
We stock parts and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies, the same brands that outfit commercial HVAC operations. For Wauna homeowners, that means faster turnaround when a specific component needs replacement, not a two-week wait for special-order parts. Our Nikro negative-air machines and Rotobrush systems handle the cleaning side, while our filtration inventory lets us upgrade your system’s particle capture on the same visit. We explain what each product does and why it fits your home, not yours to research after we leave.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Wauna Homes
- Mold and mildew in supply ducts. Wauna’s marine humidity and moderate temperatures create ideal conditions for biological growth inside dark ductwork. We find it most often in homes with crawlspace returns or bathroom vents that terminate improperly, and we treat it with mechanical cleaning followed by targeted application of EPA-registered products where appropriate.
- Salt corrosion on metal components. The waterfront homes along Carr Inlet and the shoreline roads regularly show rusted registers, corroded duct joints, and degraded exterior vent caps. We document the damage, replace what can’t be salvaged, and recommend materials better suited to marine exposure.
- Undersized or leaking ductwork in older cabins. Many Wauna homes built between the 1950s and 1970s have original duct systems never designed for modern HVAC loads. The ducts are too small, too leaky, or routed through unconditioned spaces that steal efficiency. Cleaning reveals the problems; our video inspection shows you exactly what you’re dealing with.
- Debris blockages from fall storms. When wind drives needles and leaves into exterior vents, partial blockages reduce airflow and strain equipment. We clear the obstructions and check for damage to vent caps or bird screening, common issues after a rough season on the Key Peninsula.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Wauna, WA
Most full residential air duct cleaning jobs in Wauna run $350 – $650 for a complete system, including supply ducts, return ducts, and all accessible vents.

Commercial duct cleaning in Wauna starts around $800 and scales with system size and access difficulty. We price by the system, not by the vent, so your quote won’t inflate because we counted more registers than expected. The price we write down before work starts is the price you pay.
What moves the number: square footage, number of HVAC zones, accessibility (crawlspace vs. basement), level of contamination, and whether video inspection or Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wauna is bundled with the service.
