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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Crofton, MD
Hollis Air Duct Cleaning handles the full range of residential ductwork in Crofton, from original rigid metal systems in 1960s split-levels to newer flex-duct additions in converted attics. Most Crofton homes we see have never had their ducts cleaned, and the combination of mature oak canopy, humid summers, and original construction creates debris loads and mold conditions we rarely find together in neighboring towns. If you’re noticing musty air when the system kicks on or uneven airflow between floors, call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Why Crofton Homes Are Different
Crofton’s housing stock sits in a narrow window, mostly built between the mid-1960s and late 1970s. These split-level and colonial floor plans were fitted with rigid galvanized steel ductwork that has now gone fifty-plus years without cleaning. The metal holds up structurally, but the interior surfaces collect layers of settled dust, pollen, and skin cells that fiberglass flex duct would have trapped closer to the surface. When homeowners later added finished basements or attic conversions, contractors often spliced in flex duct at the fittings. Those junction points become collection points for debris, especially where the flex sags or compresses.
The town’s mature tree canopy is the other factor. Crofton’s streets and green spaces are lined with oaks that drop leaves, acorns, and pollen loads far heavier than newer subdivisions with sapling plantings. We regularly find exterior vents clogged with oak debris that has worked its way into the duct run. The humid subtropical climate compounds this: hot, wet summers create condensation inside under-insulated attic and crawlspace ducts, and that moisture feeds visible mold growth that homeowners smell before they see it. The musty odor that kicks in when the AC cycles on is usually the first call we get.
Our Main Crofton Services
Most Crofton homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full details on what we find locally and how we price it.
Air Duct Cleaning in Crofton
We clean the full supply and return network with a Rotobrush rotary brush system and Nikro negative-air machine to pull loosened debris out of the home. In Crofton, this usually means addressing original metal trunk lines with decades of buildup, plus flex-duct additions where debris has packed at the fittings. We run before-and-after camera footage so you see what came out. Air Duct Cleaning in Crofton has full pricing and scheduling details.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Crofton
Dryer vents in Crofton’s older homes often run through walls or crawlspaces with multiple elbows that lint packs into. We use rotary brushes and high-velocity air tools to clear the full run to exterior termination, then verify airflow with a meter. Longer vent runs and bird nests in exterior hoods are common here because of the mature tree cover. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Crofton covers what we find and what it costs.
Duct Sealing in Crofton
Original metal ductwork in Crofton homes was joined with sealant that has dried and cracked over decades. We apply mastic sealant and mechanical fasteners at joints, then pressure-test the system to verify leakage reduction. This matters especially in homes with flex-duct additions, where poor sealing at the splice points dumps conditioned air into attics and crawlspaces. Duct Sealing in Crofton explains the process and expected savings.
