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 Selma
Dryer vent cleaning in Selma typically runs $120 – $280 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs are completed in under two hours with the dryer back in service the same day. If your dryer is taking longer than one cycle to dry a load, or your laundry room heats up while the machine runs, the vent run is likely restricted with lint, construction debris, or a blocked exterior hood.
We serve Selma from our Fresno, Central Valley office, and our crews know the east-side stucco subdivisions and the older mid-century neighborhoods near Floral Avenue and Whitson Street equally well. Selma’s semi-arid climate and nonstop HVAC season mean local homeowners run their appliances hard from May through October, and that extended runtime pulls agricultural dust through every opening in the house, including the dryer vent intake. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team arrives in uniform, inside the quoted window, with a written price before any work starts.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Selma’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our standard hasn’t changed: show up when we said, price it in writing before we touch it, and leave the site clean. In Selma, that standard matters more than in some neighboring towns because the housing stock here carries specific risks – mid-century galvanized ductwork on one side of town, tight new-construction envelopes on the other, and agricultural dust everywhere in between.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they work under The Garrison Code, which means accountable behavior on every job, verifiable before they arrive. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every dryer vent cleaning 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.
Phones are answered by a live person, 24/7. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday for a Selma homeowner with a dryer that’s overheating or a laundry room that smells like burning lint.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Selma
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Selma covers multi-unit laundry rooms, laundromats along Highway 99, and apartment complexes where dryers run continuously and lint accumulation is accelerated. A commercial system in Selma typically costs $280 – $550 depending on the number of units, the length of the shared duct run, and whether rooftop termination requires ladder access. We schedule these jobs during off-peak hours to avoid disrupting tenant laundry routines, and we provide written documentation for property managers who need records for insurance or fire inspections.
Multi-Unit Laundry Room Maintenance
Apartment complexes near Fowler Avenue and the older courts off Second Street often have original vent runs that serve four to six dryers through a single exterior termination. We camera-inspect the full run, measure airflow before and after cleaning with a manometer, and flag any code violations, such as plastic flex pipe in concealed spaces or missing backdraft dampers, for the property manager’s review.
Laundromat and High-Volume Systems
Selma’s coin-op laundromats push dryers hard during harvest season when agricultural workers need same-day service. We use Nikro negative-air machines to extract lint from long commercial runs without disassembling the ductwork, and we stock replacement hoods and bird guards sized for high-CFM commercial dryers.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Selma
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Selma is the residential side of our work: single-family homes, townhouses, and duplexes where the dryer vent run extends from the laundry room through walls or attic space to an exterior termination. A standard residential cleaning in Selma runs $120 – $220; if the job requires vent rerouting, bird guard installation, or cap replacement, the total typically reaches $180 – $280. Every homeowner receives a written price before we start, and we take before-and-after photos of the duct interior so you can see what was removed.
Camera Inspection and Lint Removal
We run a borescope through the full vent run to locate restrictions that aren’t visible from either end. In Selma’s east-side stucco homes, we regularly find construction debris packed into the elbow behind the dryer – drywall dust, stucco crumbs, and insulation scraps that the builder’s crew never cleared. Our rotary brush system agitates this material loose while negative pressure pulls it into a sealed collection chamber, not your laundry room.
Vent Rerouting and Termination Repair
Some Selma homes have vents that terminate too close to the condenser unit, under a deck, or against a fence, all of which violate dryer manufacturer clearance requirements and create fire hazards. We reroute with rigid metal pipe, seal joints with high-temperature mastic, and install a proper hood with a functioning backdraft damper. The new termination is documented with photos for your records.
Trusted Brands We Service in Selma
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation cleaning, Nikro negative-air machines for containment and extraction, and filtration and ventilation products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies. We don’t use hardware-store shop vacs or drill-powered brushes. For Selma homeowners, this means the same tools that commercial crews deploy on institutional jobs, calibrated for residential duct sizes. We stock common replacement caps, hoods, and bird guards locally, so a vent that needs a new termination doesn’t wait on shipping. If your dryer is a Maytag, Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, or another major brand, the vent run is standardized; we service the ductwork, not the appliance, and we coordinate with your appliance tech if the dryer itself needs attention.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Selma Homes
- Builder handover debris in new stucco homes. Selma’s east-side subdivisions were built rapidly during the 2000s boom, and many dryer vent runs were never cleaned before occupancy. Drywall dust, stucco crumbs, and insulation scraps get compacted by the first months of use and restrict airflow long before the homeowner expects a problem. We find this in homes less than five years old on a regular basis.
- Painted-shut or screened-over exterior hood flaps. Stucco crews often paint the termination hood or install a pest screen that traps lint, and the homeowner never checks the outside vent. A painted-shut flap forces moist, lint-laden air back into the laundry room or wall cavity, creating mold risk and fire hazard. We replace these with code-compliant hoods that open under dryer airflow pressure.
- Kinked flexible foil transition ducts in tight laundry closets. New-construction laundry rooms on Selma’s east side are often sized for minimum code clearance, and the transition duct behind the dryer gets crushed or kinked during installation. This creates a lint trap and a fire-risk pinch point that a surface vacuum cannot reach. We replace foil flex with smooth rigid pipe where possible.
- Agricultural dust infiltration during harvest season. From August through October, almond and grape harvest dust settles on exterior vent hoods and gets drawn into the duct when the dryer runs. This fine, sticky residue coats lint and accelerates buildup, especially in homes near orchard boundaries. Local homeowners often need cleaning immediately after harvest.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Selma
Builder crews rarely clean the vent run after construction, and in Selma’s east-side stucco subdivisions, we regularly find drywall dust, stucco overspray, and insulation scraps packed into the duct before the homeowner ever runs a load. This debris compacts with lint and restricts airflow within the first year. Call (361) 326-5060 for a camera inspection if your dry time has increased since move-in.
Yes. During August through October, fine agricultural dust settles on exterior vent hoods and gets drawn into the duct when the dryer operates. This residue is sticky and binds with lint, accelerating buildup beyond normal rates. Homes near orchard boundaries in Selma see this most acutely. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule post-harvest cleaning.
It is a significant problem. A painted-shut flap cannot open under dryer pressure, forcing moist, lint-laden air back into your wall cavity or laundry room. This creates mold risk, fire hazard, and extended dry times. We replace painted or screened-over hoods with code-compliant terminations that function properly. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection.
If your dryer takes more than one cycle to dry a standard load, the laundry room heats up during operation, or you smell burning lint, the restriction is in the vent run, not the trap. A homeowner cannot reach the full duct with household tools. Our camera inspection shows you exactly where the blockage is. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Yes. We service multi-unit laundry rooms and laundromats throughout Selma, including properties along Highway 99 and in the older courts near downtown. Commercial jobs are priced per building based on the number of units and run length, and we schedule during off-peak hours. Call (361) 326-5060 for commercial pricing.
