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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Galveston, TX
Air duct cleaning in Galveston runs $300 – $600 for a typical single-system home, with most jobs completed in one visit. What drives the real cost isn’t square footage alone, it’s the salt corrosion, mold load, and flood residue that island ductwork collects. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our crews have handled Galveston’s post-storm recoveries from Hurricane Ike forward. If your vents smell musty or your system’s working harder than it should, call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Galveston Homes Are Different
Galveston’s subtropical climate hits ductwork harder than anywhere else on the Texas coast. Year-round humidity stays above 70%, and salt-laden air from the Gulf corrodes metal from the inside out. After Hurricane Ike in 2008, floodwater pushed through entire duct systems on the island, and we’re still finding rust flakes and mold colonies in East End Historic District homes that predate the 1900 Storm.
The housing stock here is uniquely challenging. Victorian-era homes on raised piers often run original galvanized steel ducts through crawlspaces that flood in every heavy rain. Post-Ike rebuilds used flex duct for speed, but that material traps moisture and tears under rodent pressure. Crawlspace runs in neighborhoods like San Jacinto and Denver Court are especially vulnerable, sitting in standing water after storms and breeding toxic black mold that standard vacuuming won’t touch. EPA-registered disinfectants and documented cleaning for insurance claims aren’t extras here, they’re standard practice.
Our Main Galveston Services
Most Galveston homeowners call us for one of three jobs, each shaped by the island’s salt air and storm history.
Air Duct Cleaning in Galveston
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Galveston uses Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines to pull corrosion, mold, and post-flood sediment from every branch. In raised-pier homes, we pay special attention to low-lying return lines where saltwater intrusion leaves crystalline residue that standard brushes miss. Every job gets EPA-registered disinfectant application and photo documentation for your records.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Galveston
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Galveston addresses a problem intensified by coastal humidity: lint mats down with moisture, creating dense blockages that restrict airflow and overheat the unit. In beachfront condos and historic doubles with long vent runs, we use rotary whip tools and airflow meters to verify full clearance. Galveston’s salt air also corrodes exterior vent hoods, which we inspect and note.
Duct Sealing in Galveston
Our Duct Sealing in Galveston targets the gaps and separations that salt corrosion and storm vibration open in island ductwork. We apply mastic sealant and metal-backed tape at every joint, then pressure-test the system to confirm no leakage into humid crawlspaces or wall cavities. Sealed ducts stop drawing mold-laden attic air and reduce the load on AC systems battling Gulf Coast heat.

Galveston prices run higher than inland Texas markets for two reasons: post-storm mold and salt corrosion require longer cleaning cycles and EPA-registered disinfectants, and raised-pier homes need additional safety setup for crawlspace access. We write the full price before any work starts, and that number doesn’t move at the door.
