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 Somerset
Dryer vent cleaning in Somerset typically costs $120 – $280 for a standard residential job, and most appointments are completed in under 90 minutes. If your dryer takes two cycles to finish a load, smells like burning lint, or the exterior vent flap barely opens when the dryer runs, you’re looking at a clogged vent that needs immediate attention.
We dispatch crews to Somerset from our San Antonio scheduling office, and we’ve worked on enough homes along FM 2790 and around the Somerset Independent School District to know what the local housing stock throws at a dryer vent system. The manufactured homes and custom builds from the 1980s through the early 2000s that dominate this area often have vent runs that are too long, too many elbows, or flex duct that has sagged and trapped lint in the low spots. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team carries the rotary brush systems and high-velocity blowers to clear those blockages without tearing into walls. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule a free estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Somerset’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Somerset homeowners don’t call us because we’re the cheapest outfit in Bexar County. They call because their last technician showed up late, left lint scattered across the laundry room, and the dryer still ran hot. We operate under The Garrison Standard, which means our technicians arrive inside the quoted window, in uniform, with a written price in hand before any tool touches your vent.
Roy Castellanos leads this operation, and he’s built the crew around accountability you can verify. Every technician is background-checked. Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the vent clogs again or a connection fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That’s not a verbal assurance; it’s printed on your invoice.
Our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops, no “leave a message and we’ll call back Monday.” When you’re smelling something hot behind the dryer on a Saturday evening in Somerset, you reach a human who can get you scheduled.
We also handle Duct Sealing in Somerset and Air Duct Cleaning in Somerset for homeowners who want the full system addressed in one visit.
Dryer Vent Installation in Somerset
Dryer Vent Installation in Somerset becomes necessary when the existing run is damaged, improperly routed through a crawlspace with rodent activity, or built with unsafe materials like plastic flex duct or PVC pipe that violates current fire codes. A proper installation here runs $280 – $550 depending on the length of the run, whether we need to cut new wall penetrations, and if we’re replacing a vent cap on a second-story wall.
Code-Compliant Materials and Routing
We install rigid metal duct or UL-listed semi-rigid aluminum, never the foil flex that crushes and traps lint. In Somerset’s older manufactured homes, we frequently find vents that terminate under the house or into the attic, which dumps moisture and creates mold conditions. We reroute those to proper exterior termination with a backdraft damper and bird guard.
Exterior Termination and Protection
The caliche dust and grit that blows through Somerset during drought months will clog a standard louvered vent cap in a single season. We install vent caps with larger mesh screens and hinged dampers that stay sealed when the dryer isn’t running, keeping out dust, pollen, and the birds that nest in unprotected terminations around Applewhite Road and Quintana Road.
Dryer Vent Repair in Somerset
Dryer Vent Repair in Somerset addresses the disconnections, crushed sections, and damaged caps that turn a vent system into a fire hazard or a moisture problem. Most repairs we handle in this area fall between $95 and $220, with simple cap replacements at the low end and section replacements involving crawlspace work at the higher end.
Sagging and Disconnected Flex Runs
The long vent runs common in Somerset’s rural properties on acreage often use flex duct that sags between support points. Lint collects in those sags until the airflow drops enough that the dryer overheats. We replace those spans with supported rigid duct and add hanging straps at proper intervals so the line stays pitched toward the exterior.
Rodent Damage and Entry Points
Non-standard duct connections in crawlspaces make easy entry for rodents, and we’ve pulled nests out of vent lines near the Medina River area more than once. Repair means sealing the entry, replacing chewed sections, and installing a proper vent cap with rodent-proof mesh.
Trusted Brands We Service in Somerset
Our trucks carry Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation of packed lint, Nikro negative-air machines for containment during cleaning, and replacement caps and fittings from Guardsman and Abatement Technologies. We don’t run to the hardware store mid-job. For Somerset homeowners, that means the technician who arrives has the parts to finish the repair or installation that day, whether you live off Old Pleasanton Road or closer to the I-35 corridor.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Somerset Homes
- Caliche dust caked on lint buildup. The limestone grit that blows in from surrounding ranchland during dry spells mixes with dryer lint into a dense, concrete-like mass that standard vacuum attachments won’t dislodge. Our rotary brush systems break that material loose before we extract it.
- Overlong vent runs in custom builds. Homes constructed in the 1990s and 2000s on large Somerset lots sometimes have dryers installed far from exterior walls, with 25-foot-plus runs through unconditioned attic or crawlspace. Those long spans lose airflow and collect lint at every elbow.
- Original flex duct in manufactured homes. The white vinyl or thin aluminum flex installed in 1980s and 1990s manufactured housing has often become brittle, torn, or detached at the seams. We replace it with code-compliant rigid duct during cleaning.
- Bird and rodent nesting in unprotected caps. Open vent terminations without bird guards attract sparrows and mice, especially on homes surrounded by the open acreage typical of Somerset. The nest material blocks airflow and creates a significant fire risk.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Somerset, TX
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Somerset runs $120 – $280. That covers a single-family residential vent up to 35 feet with no more than two elbows, full lint extraction with rotary brush and negative-air methods, airflow testing before and after, and exterior cap inspection. If your vent run exceeds 35 feet, requires crawlspace access, or needs section replacement due to damage, costs move toward the $250 – $400 range.
We do not quote per-vent prices or bait you with a low teaser that doubles once the technician is inside. The price is written down before work starts, and it does not move at the door. Every Somerset homeowner receives the same written estimate process, whether you’re in a 1970s ranch near Somerset Road or a newer build off Loop 1604.
