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 Lutz, FL
Air duct cleaning in Lutz typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. Homes here face a specific challenge: many sit on well water and septic systems in unincorporated Hillsborough County, where heavy mineral content from the regional aquifer combines with nearly year-round AC runtime to create a distinct buildup inside ductwork. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we dispatch crews to Lutz from our Miami coordination office. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Why Lutz Homes Are Different
Lutz sits in a pocket of unincorporated Hillsborough County where municipal water and sewer lines never reached many properties. The well water drawn from the Tampa Bypass Canal and regional aquifer carries heavy mineral content, and that same mineral load ends up coating return-air grilles and duct interiors, particularly in the older homes near Brooker Creek Preserve where iron-oxide dust is a routine find.
The housing stock compounds this. Lutz is a low-density mix of 1970s – 90s ranch and split-plan homes on large lots, plus newer gated subdivisions off SR-54 and US-41. Those older homes frequently have original or once-retrofitted ductwork with long trunk-and-branch runs, often poorly sealed at the plenum. The humid subtropical climate means AC runs roughly ten months a year, and condensation in attic ducts during the long cooling season creates ideal conditions for mold and mildew colonization inside flexible duct liner. Cleaning frequency here needs to be higher than in drier markets, and the work itself requires equipment that can handle both mineral-scale buildup and biological growth without damaging aging duct walls.
Our Main Lutz Services
Most Lutz homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own dedicated page with full details on what we do, how we price it, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Lutz
We clean the full supply and return system using a Rotobrush rotary brush system for agitation and a Nikro negative-air machine for containment. In Lutz, this means addressing the mineral-dust and biological growth mix common in well-water homes, plus the condensation-related mildew in attic flex runs. We inspect before we quote, photograph the interior condition, and leave before-and-after images with you. Air Duct Cleaning in Lutz has full pricing and scheduling details.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lutz
Dryer vent cleaning in Lutz runs into the same long-run challenges as the ductwork: many homes have extended vent paths through attics or crawl spaces to reach exterior walls, and lint accumulates in low spots where the run sags. We use rotary brushes and high-velocity air to clear the full line, then verify airflow at the termination. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lutz covers our process and what it costs.
Duct Sealing in Lutz
Leaky plenums and poorly sealed trunk connections are common in Lutz’s older retrofitted systems. We seal accessible joints with mastic and apply aerosolized duct sealant where appropriate, then pressure-test to verify results. This is particularly valuable for the long, branched runs in ranch homes where conditioned air bleeds into the attic before it reaches the vents. Duct Sealing in Lutz explains when sealing makes sense versus replacement.
