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 Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Hudson
Dryer vent cleaning in Hudson typically runs $150 – $280 for a standard single-family home, with repairs or reroutes adding $120 – $350 depending on access and materials. Most appointments are scheduled within a few business days, and our dispatch team coordinates from our Miami office to get crews to Hudson properties on time.
We’ve worked on enough Hudson homes to know the local vent layouts by heart. The mill-worker cottages downtown with their vertical chimney-chase runs. The 1950s ranches off Route 62 with capes that share duct chases with old wiring. The newer condos on the old DEC campus where flex duct was slapped in fast and sags at every turn. Each era brings its own failure mode, and each needs a different approach. That’s why our Dryer Vent Cleaning team doesn’t show up with one tool and one method. We camera-inspect first, then clean or repair with the right equipment for what we find.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Hudson’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Hollis Air Duct Cleaning has been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004. In Hudson, that longevity matters because we’ve seen how the local housing stock ages, and we know where the problems hide. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they arrive inside the quoted window. Not “sometime Tuesday.” A real window, tracked and kept.
Our 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 morning to schedule. When a Hudson homeowner smells something scorched coming from the laundry room, that matters.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every job 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 runaround. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how every Hollis location operates, including the crews serving Hudson.
We use professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies. Rotary brush systems for agitation, negative-air machines for containment, and camera inspection gear to show you what we found and what we removed. Not hardware-store gear. The same tools commercial crews use, explained in plain terms on every job.
Dryer Vent Repair in Hudson
Dryer Vent Repair in Hudson often starts with a call about slow drying times or a hot laundry room, and ends with us finding damage that a simple cleaning won’t fix. The repair covers crushed or disconnected runs, improper materials like plastic flex pipe, and reroutes when the original path is no longer safe or code-compliant. In Hudson’s market, most repairs run $120 – $350, with complex reroutes or long rigid-pipe replacements reaching the higher end.
Chimney-Chase Reroutes
In Hudson’s downtown mill-worker homes, dryer vents frequently run up through masonry chimney chases alongside heating flues. These vertical runs can exceed 20 feet with multiple elbows, and they’re impossible to clean properly with consumer brush kits. When we find a crushed section or a disconnected joint behind the brick, we reroute with smooth rigid pipe and proper supports, not the sagging flex that caused the problem.
Code and Safety Corrections
Older capes and ranches in Hudson sometimes have dryer vents sharing chases with knob-and-tube wiring or asbestos-wrapped pipes. We don’t just clean and leave. We flag these conditions, document what we found, and recommend the right remediation before any repair work proceeds. It’s slower than a quick vacuum job. It’s also how you avoid a fire or a code violation.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Hudson
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company service in Hudson means more than blowing out the lint trap and the first few feet of visible duct. A proper cleaning from Hollis starts with camera inspection, uses agitation tools under negative pressure to dislodge packed lint, and finishes with airflow testing to confirm the dryer is breathing properly again. For a standard Hudson home, cleaning runs $150 – $280. Homes with long vertical runs, multiple elbows, or severe blockages may run higher.
Camera-First Inspection
We run a camera before we touch anything. In Hudson’s older homes, this often reveals the real problem: a packed vertical run, a crushed elbow behind a wall, or a bird nest at the cap. You see it too. Then we clean what we found, not what we guessed.
Negative-Air Containment
Our Nikro negative-air machines create suction at the vent termination while Rotobrush rotary tools agitate the lint loose inside the run. This two-step method pulls debris out of the duct instead of pushing it into your laundry room or HVAC system. It’s the standard for commercial work, and it’s what we bring to every Hudson home.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hudson
We stock parts and materials from Abatement Technologies, Guardsman, and Aprilaire for fast turnaround on Hudson jobs. That means when we find a failed vent cap, a disconnected joint, or a backdraft damper that’s stuck open, we can often fix it same visit instead of ordering parts and rescheduling. For dryer vent work specifically, we carry rigid aluminum pipe in standard diameters, proper foil-faced mastic for sealing joints, and bird guard assemblies that keep critters out without restricting airflow. If your vent system uses a specific termination cap or booster fan, we’ll match it or recommend a replacement that fits the run length and your dryer’s CFM rating. No guesswork, no return trips for a $8 part.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Hudson Homes
- Vertical chimney-chase runs packed solid with lint. In Hudson’s early-1900s mill-worker homes near downtown, dryer vents often exit through the same masonry chase as the heating flue. The lint you can reach at the trap is a fraction of what builds up in that 20-foot vertical run with multiple elbows. Hardware-store brush kits can’t navigate it. Our camera and agitation tools can.
- Crushed elbows and pinched sections from prior remodels. A customer in one of the mill-worker cottages near downtown Hudson called us because their dryer was taking two cycles to dry a load and the laundry room smelled scorched. We ran a camera inspection down the vertical chase and found the original 4-inch galvanized run packed solid with decades of lint, plus a crushed elbow behind the wall where a prior remodel had pinched it. We pulled the blockage with agitation tools under negative pressure, replaced the crushed section with smooth rigid pipe, and the dryer’s airflow was back to spec on the first test.
- Shared chases with knob-and-tube wiring or asbestos wrap. Hudson’s older capes and ranches often have dryer vents running through chases that also contain original electrical wiring or asbestos-wrapped pipes. We use non-conductive hoses and inspect for these conditions before cleaning. It’s not paranoia. It’s The Garrison Code.
- Sagging flex runs in newer infill condos. The condos built on Hudson’s former DEC campus get short flex duct runs with multiple sag points where lint settles. Homeowners assume a new build means a clean vent. It doesn’t. We find blockages in five-year-old systems regularly, and we replace the sagging flex with properly supported rigid pipe when the layout allows.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hudson
Your older home likely has a longer, more convoluted vent path. Hudson’s mill-worker cottages and mid-century capes often have vertical runs through chimney chases with multiple elbows, while newer construction uses shorter, straighter routes. More turns and more vertical rise mean more places for lint to settle. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll camera-inspect to show you exactly what’s in your run.
We use a two-step method: rotary brush agitation to dislodge packed lint, combined with negative-air suction at the vent termination to pull debris out without pushing it into your home. For chimney-chase runs, we also camera-inspect first to locate crushed sections or disconnected joints that a brush alone can’t address. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
Yes. The lint trap catches roughly 25% of lint produced. The remaining 75% travels through the vent and accumulates in the run, especially in Hudson’s older homes with long vertical paths. That buildup restricts airflow, forces your dryer to run hotter and longer, and creates a fire hazard. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate on cleaning the full run.
We arrive in the quoted window, uniformed and background-checked. We camera-inspect the full run, show you what we found, then clean with rotary brushes under negative pressure. We test airflow before and after, replace any damaged sections we discussed, and leave the site clean. You get a written invoice with the 365-Day Done Right Promise noted. Call (361) 326-5060 to book.
Yes. We’ve cleaned and repaired vents in those infill condos regularly. The flex duct installed during construction often has sag points where lint collects, and the runs sometimes terminate in awkward locations that need rerouting. We inspect, clean, and replace with properly supported rigid pipe when the layout allows. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote on your unit.
