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 Norcross
Dryer vent cleaning in Norcross typically runs $149 – $289 for a standard residential system, with most jobs completed in under two hours. If your dryer takes more than one cycle to finish a load, or if you notice a burnt-lint smell near the laundry room, you’re past due for a cleaning.
We’ve been routing crews through Norcross since 2004, dispatching from our Atlanta office to homes from the Historic Norcross district off Holcomb Bridge Road to the subdivisions near Jimmy Carter Boulevard and Peachtree Industrial. Our technicians know the difference between a 1940s mill house with original galvanized ductwork and a 2005 Gwinnett County build with flex runs through the attic, because we’ve cleaned both in the same afternoon.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Norcross’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Norcross homeowners don’t hire us because we’re the cheapest crew in Gwinnett County. They hire us because we show up inside the quoted window, write the price before we touch anything, and stand behind the work for a full year.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team operates under The Garrison Standard, which means background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive with professional-grade Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines, not hardware-store brushes. Every job gets a written price upfront and is covered by 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 when your dryer is already backing up.
We serve Norcross from our Atlanta dispatch office, with crews who’ve worked the specific conditions of this market: the pre-1950 mill homes with buried metal trunks, the 1990s subdivisions with crushed flex duct at foundation penetrations, and the newer mid-rise buildings around the Jimmy Carter corridor. That local pattern recognition matters. A technician who treats every vent the same will miss what makes your house different.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Norcross
Dryer Vent Inspection in Norcross is where we start every job, because the right fix depends on knowing what era of housing stock we’re working with. A typical inspection in Norcross runs $89 – $149 and includes camera scoping of the full vent run, airflow measurement with a manometer, and a written report with photos. In Historic Norcross’s mill homes, we’re often tracing a vent pathway retrofitted into original unlined galvanized trunks that carried coal dust decades before the dryer ever showed up. In the Gwinnett subdivisions near Simpsonwood or沿 Peachtree Industrial, we’re checking for flex duct crushed at the foundation wall or disconnected elbows dumping lint into crawl spaces.
Camera Scoping and Airflow Testing
We run a borescope camera the full length of your vent run, recording what we find. The video goes to you, not just to us. You’ll see the lint buildup, any crushed sections, bird nests, or moisture damage. We pair this with a manometer reading that tells us exactly how restricted your airflow is, measured in inches of water column. A healthy residential dryer vent pulls 0.75″ WC or better; we commonly find Norcross homes running half that.
Written Report with Repair Options
After the inspection, you get a written report with photos, airflow numbers, and a flat-price quote for any cleaning or repairs. No per-vent pricing. No add-ons at the door. The price we write down is the price you pay.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Norcross
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Norcross covers multi-unit laundry facilities, apartment complexes, salons, and any business running high-cycle dryers. A typical commercial job in Norcross runs $299 – $749 depending on the number of units, total linear footage, and access difficulty. We clean the full vent run from dryer connection to exterior termination, including booster fans and rooftop terminations where present.
Norcross’s commercial corridor along Jimmy Carter Boulevard and Peachtree Industrial includes a mix of 1980s strip centers and newer mid-rise buildings, each with different vent configurations. Older commercial spaces often have galvanized mains with multiple lateral connections that collect lint at every elbow; newer builds may have long horizontal runs with inline booster fans that fail when lint loads up the impeller.
Multi-Unit Systems and Booster Fan Service
Apartment complexes and condo buildings in Norcross frequently share a common vent main with individual dryer laterals. We clean the full main and each lateral, then test backdraft dampers to prevent cross-contamination between units. Booster fans get removed, cleaned, and reinstalled with verified operation.
Documentation for Property Managers
We provide before-and-after photos, airflow readings, and a written completion report for every commercial job. Property managers in Norcross use these for insurance documentation, fire marshal inspections, and tenant communication. The report includes our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
Trusted Brands We Service in Norcross
Our crews arrive with Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation of stubborn lint deposits, Nikro negative-air machines for controlled debris extraction, and HEPA filtration from Abatement Technologies to protect your indoor air during the job. We stock common vent caps, transition ducts, and bird guard assemblies for Norcross customers, so most repairs don’t require a return trip. For filtration upgrades, we carry Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman products where the vent system connects to broader HVAC ductwork, and we also offer Air Duct Cleaning in Norcross for full-system maintenance. These are the same tools commercial crews use, maintained on a schedule, not borrowed from the hardware store.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Norcross Homes
- Buried galvanized trunks in Historic Norcross mill homes. The pre-1950 houses off Holcomb Bridge Road and around North Peachtree Street often have dryer vents retrofitted into original unlined metal ductwork with no cleanout access. Lint packs solid behind remodel walls for decades, and the first symptom is a dryer that runs two hours per load.
- Crushed flex duct at foundation penetrations in 1990s – 2000s subdivisions. Homes near Simpsonwood or along the Jimmy Carter corridor frequently have flex duct pinched where it passes through the crawl space wall, or disconnected at the first elbow, dumping warm, moist lint directly under the house.
- Attic flex runs sweating and matting lint in newer builds. During Norcross’s muggy shoulder seasons, attic-installed flex duct condenses on the exterior. The moisture mixes with lint into a dense, matted clog that standard brushes can’t clear. We see this in homes built 2010 and newer around the Peachtree Industrial corridor.
- Bird guard failures and exterior cap blockages. The pine pollen and oak catkins that coat Norcross every spring clog exterior vent caps and compromise bird guard mesh. We replace these with proper specifications, not universal-fit hardware store caps that fail again in six months.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Norcross
Your pre-1950 mill home likely has a dryer vent retrofitted into original galvanized trunk lines that were never designed for forced air, with 20+ foot runs and no cleanout access. The surface roughness of old metal, combined with decades of coal-dust residue and tight elbows, catches lint faster than the smooth, short flex runs in newer builds. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll scope it to confirm.
We use a borescope camera inserted at the dryer connection or any accessible joint to trace the full pathway, then locate blockages by measuring airflow restriction with a manometer. In Historic Norcross homes, we’ve learned to read the house’s era and remodeling history to predict where the original trunk was routed before it was enclosed. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection.
Camera scoping of the full vent run, airflow measurement with a manometer, visual assessment of the transition duct behind the dryer, and a written report with photos and repair options. For 1950s ductwork, we specifically check for asbestos-wrapped trunk lines, unlined metal corrosion, and improper retrofits that violate current Gwinnett County code. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
Commercial dryers in Norcross should be inspected every six months and cleaned at least annually; high-volume operations like salons or multi-unit laundry rooms may need quarterly service. We document each cleaning with before-and-after photos and airflow readings for your records. Call (361) 326-5060 for a commercial maintenance schedule.
Yes. Lint is highly combustible, and a restricted vent forces the dryer to run hotter and longer. The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates thousands of residential dryer fires annually, with failure to clean as the leading cause. In Norcross’s older homes with buried metal runs, the risk compounds because homeowners can’t see the accumulation and may run the dryer for years past its safe interval. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free inspection and written quote.
