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.

AfterFast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Hornsby Bend
Dryer vent cleaning in Hornsby Bend typically runs $120 – $240 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs are scheduled within a few business days. We’re the local crew that knows what hides under your floorboards.
Our dispatch team runs out of the Austin office, but our trucks are in Hornsby Bend regularly. We know the area around Hunters Bend Road, the pockets of manufactured homes near the river, and the 1980s ranches off FM 973. That local knowledge matters because Hornsby Bend homes aren’t built like newer Austin subdivisions. Most were put up between the 1980s and early 2000s with original flexible ductwork that sags, crushes, and collects lint in ways a quick vacuum from the laundry room can’t touch. When you call (361) 326-5060, you’ll reach a live person who knows the difference between a slab ranch and a pier-and-beam fixer, and we’ll get you a written price before any work starts.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Hornsby Bend’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our Dryer Vent Cleaning team has worked enough Hornsby Bend homes to know the patterns. The flexible foil duct under pier-and-beam floors. The attic runs that exceed manufacturer length limits. The bird guards missing after a hard north wind.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they operate under The Garrison Standard: arrive inside the quoted window, price in writing, complete the job by the book, leave the site clean. Every repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. No negotiation, no runaround.
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 get on the schedule.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Hornsby Bend
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company work in Hornsby Bend means more than pulling lint from a trap. It means addressing the decades of buildup in long, sagging flexible duct runs that most homeowners never see. A typical cleaning for a standard Hornsby Bend ranch or manufactured home runs $120 – $180; if we find crushed or disconnected sections that need re-routing or replacement, that can push to $180 – $240. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines to agitate and extract lint at the source, not just at the surface.
What We Find Under Pier-and-Beam Homes
The original flexible foil duct in Hornsby Bend’s older homes sags in low spots under the floor, creating lint traps that a shop vacuum can’t reach. Our camera inspection finds these hidden blockages before we quote the repair.
Why Manufacturer Length Limits Matter
Many 1980s ranches here have attic vent runs with multiple elbows that exceed the dryer’s rated length. Even a clean vent can’t move enough air. We measure the run and tell you straight if re-routing or a booster fan is the real fix.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Hornsby Bend
Dryer Vent Inspection in Hornsby Bend starts with a camera-guided look at the entire run, from the dryer’s back panel to the exterior hood. We document crushed sections, disconnections, sagging low spots, and any signs of moisture damage or rodent intrusion. A standalone inspection runs $89 – $129; if you proceed with cleaning or repair, we typically credit that toward the work. For homes near the biosolids plant, we also check whether organic particulate has accumulated at the exterior termination.
Camera Findings We Explain in Plain Terms
Our techs show you what the camera sees. A sagging duct full of lint looks like a clogged artery. A disconnected joint blowing moist air into your crawlspace explains the musty smell. No jargon, just facts you can act on.
When to Schedule an Inspection
Two-cycle drying, a hot laundry room, or a burnt-dust smell means call now. Annual inspections make sense for pier-and-beam homes with original ductwork, especially after hard north winds that blow debris against exterior hoods.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hornsby Bend
We carry parts and materials from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman on our trucks, so most Hornsby Bend jobs don’t wait on a parts run. That matters when we’re replacing a crushed flexible duct section with rigid semi-rigid pipe or installing a new bird guard after clearing a nest. Our equipment roster includes professional-grade rotary brush systems and negative-air machines, not hardware-store gear. If your vent needs filtration upgrades, we source from Honeywell and Aprilaire. Fast turnaround because we stock what local homes actually need.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Hornsby Bend Homes
- Sagging flexible duct in pier-and-beam crawlspaces. The original foil duct in Hornsby Bend’s older homes droops between joists, creating low spots where lint packs solid. A surface cleaning misses it entirely. We find it with the camera and clear it with agitation tools.
- Exterior hoods blocked by plant debris after north winds. Hornsby Bend sits downwind of the Austin Water Hornsby Bend Biosolids Management Plant. Fine organic particulate and odor drift in on north winds and collect at vent terminations, especially on manufactured homes where the hood sits low to the ground.
- Attic runs that exceed 25 feet with multiple elbows. The 1980s ranches near FM 973 often have long, convoluted vent paths through hot attics. Even clean, they can’t move the 1,500 CFM most dryers need. Re-routing or a booster fan is the only real solution.
- Missing or damaged bird guards. Without a proper guard, sparrows and starlings nest in the warm duct. We pulled a nest the size of a football from a home off Hunters Bend Road last spring. The dryer had been taking three cycles.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hornsby Bend
Once a year is the minimum for pier-and-beam homes in Hornsby Bend, and every six months if you dry more than four loads weekly. The flexible duct under the floor sags and traps lint faster than rigid pipe in a slab home. Call (361) 326-5060 to get on a regular schedule.
Yes, especially after a hard north wind. The organic particulate drifts downwind and can accumulate at your exterior hood or even inside the duct if the flap doesn’t seal tight. Cleaning the vent removes the buildup, and we check the hood seal during every inspection. Call (361) 326-5060 if you’ve noticed the smell inside your laundry room.
A full camera-guided inspection of the entire run, from dryer back panel to exterior hood, plus airflow measurement and a written report with photos. We document any crushed sections, disconnections, sagging, or blockages, and we explain what needs fixing and why. The inspection costs $89 – $129 and is credited toward any work you schedule.
Almost certainly. The lint trap catches maybe 60% of debris. The rest packs into the duct, especially in Hornsby Bend’s long, sagging runs. Two-cycle drying is the classic symptom of a blocked vent, and it’s also a fire hazard. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection; we’ll show you exactly what’s in there.
Yes. Our Nikro negative-air machines create suction at the vent termination while Rotobrush agitation tools break lint loose inside the duct. HEPA filtration captures the debris so it doesn’t recirculate through your home. We run the system until the camera shows a clean pipe and the airflow meter reads in spec.
