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 San Leon
Dryer vent cleaning in San Leon typically runs $120 – $195 for a standard single-family home, with most jobs completed in under 90 minutes. We serve San Leon from our dispatch office in Dallas-Fort Worth, with crews scheduled throughout the week to handle the salt-heavy, humidity-saturated vent systems that bayfront homes here develop faster than anywhere inland.
If you’re anywhere near Bayshore Drive, the cottages off 14th Street, or the stilt homes along Virginia Point Road, you’ve probably noticed your dryer taking longer to finish a load than it did when you first moved in. That’s not normal wear. In San Leon, the same Gulf air that leaves a gray salt film on your windows is working its way into your laundry room, coating the inside of your vent duct with a sticky, corrosive residue that traps lint tighter than plain dust ever would. We’ve pulled apart vents in 1970s bungalows near Grand Avenue where the flexible duct behind the dryer had essentially glued itself shut with salt-caked lint. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team uses Nikro negative-air equipment and rotary brush systems to break that bond and restore airflow. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is San Leon’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been serving coastal Texas since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and San Leon’s combination of older elevated housing, salt-laden humidity, and post-Ike rebuilds creates vent problems we recognize before we even walk through the door. Roy Castellanos and our technicians have worked on enough pilings-and-crawlspace homes here to know that a standard mainland cleaning approach misses half the issue.
Our crews arrive in uniform, background-checked, and inside the quoted window. The price is written down before any work starts, and it doesn’t move at the door. 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.
We also handle Duct Sealing in San Leon and Air Duct Cleaning in San Leon for homeowners who want the full system addressed at once.
Dryer Vent Installation in San Leon
Dryer Vent Installation in San Leon is often necessary after a hurricane repair, a kitchen-laundry relocation, or when an older home’s original vent routing no longer meets current safety codes. A proper installation here means more than connecting a duct: it means selecting materials that won’t corrode in salt air, sealing joints against humidity intrusion, and routing the vent to terminate where Gulf winds won’t drive rain back inside.
Typical installation in San Leon runs $280 – $450 for a standard through-wall or through-roof setup, with complex reroutes in elevated homes or stilt structures running $400 – $650. We price the full job in writing before touching anything.
Corrosion-Resistant Materials for Coastal Air
We spec galvanized or aluminum rigid ducting with sealed joints, never the thin foil flex that deteriorates in San Leon’s humidity within two to three years. Where the vent terminates, we use weather-rated caps with backdraft dampers that keep bay spray out while letting moist exhaust escape.
Elevated and Stilt-Home Routing
Homes on pilings near Virginia Point or along the bayfront often require vertical drops or extended horizontal runs to reach ground-level termination. We calculate static pressure and airflow requirements for these longer runs so your dryer doesn’t work harder than it should.
Dryer Vent Repair in San Leon
Dryer Vent Repair in San Leon addresses the damage that salt corrosion, storm surge, and age inflict on coastal systems. We see disconnected joints behind washers where humidity has weakened tape seals, crushed or sagging flex duct in crawlspaces where critters or flooding have compromised the run, and termination caps missing or bent from wind exposure.
Most repairs in San Leon fall between $95 – $185 for joint resealing, section replacement, or cap repair. Extensive corrosion damage requiring multiple sections and a new termination point can reach $220 – $340. We inspect, quote in writing, and proceed only with your approval.
Storm and Flood Damage Assessment
After heavy weather, we check for water intrusion in the duct path, salt deposits on metal surfaces, and separation at couplings. Catching corrosion early prevents the full replacement that delayed maintenance eventually demands.
Airflow Restoration and Testing
Every repair ends with an airflow measurement. We verify your dryer is exhausting at manufacturer-specified rates, not just “better than before.” If the numbers don’t meet spec, we keep working until they do.
Trusted Brands We Service in San Leon
We stock replacement components from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies, and our cleaning systems include Nikro negative-air machines and Rotobrush rotary equipment. For San Leon homeowners, this means no waiting on mainland parts orders when a termination cap has corroded through or a backdraft damper has seized in salt air. Our trucks carry the common sizes and fittings that match the 4-inch rigid and semi-rigid ducting found in most local homes, from the 1960s cottages near Avenue M to the post-Ike rebuilds off Bayshore. If we encounter an unusual configuration in an older fishing cabin or custom stilt home, our Dallas-Fort Worth dispatch coordinates same-day sourcing. Fast turnaround matters when your laundry is backing up and humidity is already working against you.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in San Leon Homes
- Salt-caked lint accumulation. The fine gray film that coats San Leon windows also deposits inside vent ducts, creating a sticky matrix that standard brushing struggles to remove. Our rotary systems are specifically selected to break this bond without damaging duct walls.
- Corroded termination caps and dampers. Salt air attacks the thin metal of cheap caps, causing them to rust open or seize shut. A stuck-open damper lets rain and humidity into the duct; stuck-closed, it blocks exhaust and creates a fire hazard.
- Crushed flex duct in crawlspaces. Many San Leon homes route vents through tight, damp crawlspaces beneath elevated floors. Over years, the flexible duct sags, gets stepped on during other repairs, or collapses where it hangs across joists.
- Bird and insect nesting in uncapped vents. Open or damaged terminations on bayfront homes attract sparrows, wasps, and the occasional snake seeking warmth. We remove blockages and install proper guards that ventilate without inviting wildlife.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Leon
Most San Leon homeowners pay $120 – $195 depending on home type and duct accessibility. Elevated coastal homes with longer runs typically fall at the higher end. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free, exact quote on your setup.
San Leon’s salt-laden humidity creates a sticky film inside ducts that traps lint more aggressively than dry dust. Combined with older, often corrugated ductwork in local homes, this means vents here need more frequent attention than in League City or Pasadena. Annual cleaning is typical for bayfront properties.
Yes. We regularly work on pilings-and-crawlspace homes throughout San Leon, including the Virginia Point Road area, Bayshore Drive, and the older neighborhoods off Grand Avenue. Our equipment handles extended vertical drops and tight crawlspace access.
We provide before-and-after photos of your vent interior, plus airflow measurements taken at the termination cap. You’ll see the salt-lint buildup removed and the airflow rate restored to manufacturer specifications. No guesswork, no trust-me claims.
If any work we perform fails within one year, we return and correct it at no charge. This includes a free second visit, no negotiation, no expiration games. The guarantee is written on every invoice, backed by the Garrison Partners family of companies since 2004.
