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.

AfterFast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Citrus Park
Dryer vent cleaning in Citrus Park typically runs $150 – $275 for a standard residential system, with most jobs completed in under two hours. If your dryer takes two cycles to dry a load, or if you notice a burning smell near the laundry room, the vent is clogged and needs professional cleaning before it becomes a fire hazard. Call Hollis Air Duct Cleaning at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
We’ve been sending crews to Citrus Park since we opened our South Florida dispatch office, and we know the area’s housing stock inside out. The 1980s subdivisions off Gunn Highway, the newer builds near Citrus Park Town Center, the original Citrus Park Estates homes with their slab-on-grade construction and attic duct runs – our technicians have cleaned dryer vents in all of them. That local knowledge matters because a vent routed through a hot, humid Citrus Park attic fails differently than one in a crawl space or an exterior wall. We show up in uniform, background-checked, and ready to explain what we find before we touch anything.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Citrus Park’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Hollis Air Duct Cleaning operates under The Garrison Standard, which means we arrive inside the quoted window, price the job in writing before we start, and leave the site clean. No exceptions. In Citrus Park, where many homeowners have dealt with no-shows or prices that jumped once the technician was inside, that discipline is why we get called back.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed on every job. You know who is walking into your home before they arrive. We use professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro – rotary brush systems and negative-air machines that commercial crews use, not hardware-store attachments. Every job carries 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.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday to schedule. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami office, with crews serving Citrus Park locally.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Citrus Park
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Citrus Park covers multi-unit properties, laundromats, and homeowner association laundry facilities where dryers run continuously and lint accumulates faster than in residential settings. A commercial system in Citrus Park typically costs $300 – $600 depending on the number of units, duct length, and whether the run terminates through the roof or sidewall. Properties near Westfield Citrus Park or along Ehrlich Road with heavy dryer usage should schedule cleaning every six months to maintain airflow and reduce fire risk.
Multi-Unit Laundry Facilities
Apartment complexes and condo buildings in subdivisions like Fawn Ridge often share a common dryer vent trunk line that serves multiple units. These systems clog at junction points where individual runs meet the main duct, and standard residential cleaning tools cannot reach them. We use Nikro negative-air equipment to pull lint from the entire trunk while agitating each branch line with rotary brushes.
Restaurant and Hospitality Dryer Exhaust
Commercial kitchens and small hotels near the Veterans Expressway corridor generate lint loads that residential equipment cannot handle. Our crews inspect the full run from dryer to termination, document restrictions with camera equipment, and clean to NFPA 96 standards where applicable.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Citrus Park
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Citrus Park addresses the specific failure patterns we see in this market’s older housing stock. A standard residential cleaning runs $150 – $275 and includes full source removal of lint from the dryer connection through the termination cap, camera inspection of the complete run, and airflow testing before and after. Most Citrus Park homeowners need this service every 12 – 18 months, though homes with long attic runs or multiple pets may need it sooner.
Camera Inspection and Source Removal
We run a camera through the entire vent before we clean. In Citrus Park’s original 1980s subdivisions, we regularly find sections where flexible aluminum duct has been crushed by storage items in the attic or chewed by rodents near the air handler. You see the footage. We explain what needs cleaning, what needs replacement, and what the price is for each before we proceed.
Semi-Rigid Duct Replacement
When inspection reveals damaged flex duct, we replace it with semi-rigid aluminum duct that meets current IRC code. This is common in Citrus Park Estates and similar neighborhoods where original builders used thin flexible runs through hot attics. The replacement section is priced separately from cleaning, with the full cost written down before work begins.
Trusted Brands We Service in Citrus Park
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for controlled debris removal, and filtration products from Honeywell and Guardsman. We stock common dryer vent termination caps, bird guards, and semi-rigid duct sections so most Citrus Park jobs are completed in a single visit without waiting on parts. For homeowners in neighborhoods near Upper Tampa Bay Park where squirrels and rats are active, we carry Guardsman vent caps with built-in pest barriers that stop chewing while maintaining proper airflow.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Citrus Park Homes
- Crushed or disconnected attic runs in 1980s subdivisions. Original flexible duct in Citrus Park Estates and Fawn Ridge sags between trusses, collects lint in low spots, and gets flattened by homeowners storing holiday decorations on top of it. Camera inspection reveals the damage that brushing alone cannot fix.
- Rodent damage near wooded areas. Squirrels and rats from the live oak canopy and Upper Tampa Bay Park surroundings chew through thin flex duct liner, creating gaps where lint dumps into the attic instead of exhausting outside. We find this monthly in homes north of Citrus Park Boulevard.
- Rainy-season lint caking. From June through September, attic humidity in Citrus Park regularly exceeds 80%, and lint absorbs that moisture into dense clumps that adhere to duct walls. Standard brushing skims the surface; our agitation tools with HEPA filtration break the caked layer loose for full removal.
- Long slab-on-grade runs to distant terminations. Builders routed dryer vents through 20- to 30-foot attic paths to reach soffit or roof caps, and disconnected joints behind the air handler blow lint into the insulation. We test airflow at the termination to confirm the full path is intact before we finish.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Citrus Park, FL
A standard residential dryer vent cleaning in Citrus Park runs $150 – $275. This covers camera inspection, source removal of lint from the full run, airflow testing, and reassembly of the dryer connection. If we find damaged duct that needs replacement, a semi-rigid section swap typically adds $75 – $150 depending on length and accessibility.
Bird guard installation runs $45 – $85. Vent cap replacement is $60 – $120. Full vent rerouting for homes with terminally damaged or improperly designed runs starts at $400 and is quoted in writing after inspection.
What affects your price: length of the vent run, whether it terminates through the roof or sidewall, accessibility in the attic or crawl space, and whether rodent damage or moisture caking requires additional agitation time. We give you one flat price per system, agreed in writing before we start. No per-foot add-ons, no surprise charges when we arrive. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Citrus Park
The lint trap catches roughly 25% of lint; the rest passes into the vent and accumulates where you cannot see it. In Citrus Park’s 1980s homes with long attic runs, we regularly find blockages 15 – 20 feet from the dryer that no amount of trap cleaning would prevent. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll show you exactly what’s in your vent before we quote the cleaning.
Yes, rodents damage dryer vents here regularly. Squirrels and rats from the wooded areas near Upper Tampa Bay Park chew through the thin plastic and insulation of original flex duct, creating gaps where lint escapes into the attic. We find this in Citrus Park Estates and similar neighborhoods several times a month, and it turns a cleaning job into a replacement job. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection if you’ve heard scratching in your attic.
June through September humidity above 80% causes lint to absorb moisture and cake onto duct walls in hard, dense layers that standard brushing cannot remove. Our crews use agitation tools with HEPA filtration to break this caked material loose, which takes more time than a standard dry-climate cleaning. The price reflects the additional labor, and we quote it in writing before we start.
Probably, and that’s the problem. Original flexible aluminum duct in Citrus Park’s 1980s subdivisions has reached end of life: it sags, kinks, and develops rodent damage that modern semi-rigid duct would resist. We camera-inspect every 1980s home we serve, and we replace damaged sections with code-compliant semi-rigid duct priced separately from cleaning. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule an inspection.
Yes. Runs longer than 15 feet, common in Citrus Park’s slab-on-grade subdivisions where builders routed vents to distant soffit or roof terminations, require rotary brush systems with extension rods and negative-air machines to capture loosened debris. Hardware-store kits lack the reach and suction. Our Rotobrush and Nikro equipment handles these long runs without leaving lint in the attic. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
In Citrus Park’s original 1980s subdivisions, dryer vents routed through attic flex duct are frequently crushed or disconnected by the same rodent activity that damages HVAC runs, and a camera inspection often reveals lint packed along the entire sagging pathway rather than just at the termination. This is not a generic problem – it is the specific failure pattern of this neighborhood’s housing stock, and it is why our Dryer Vent Cleaning crews arrive prepared to replace damaged sections, not just brush out the easy parts.
In Citrus Park Estates, our tech pulled a Guardsman dryer vent kit from a 1987 home where the homeowner’s dryer had been taking two cycles to dry a load; camera inspection showed the original flexible aluminum run sagging behind the air handler with a crushed section near the attic penetration, so we performed source removal with agitation tools under negative pressure, replaced the damaged section with semi-rigid duct, and restored proper airflow to the termination cap. The homeowner had the written price before we started, and the job was covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
