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 Air Duct Cleaning Across Brockton
Air duct cleaning in Brockton typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system and $800 – $2,400 for commercial jobs, with most homes completed in a single visit. Our crews serve Brockton from our Boston dispatch office, carrying Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines through neighborhoods from Campello to the west side. We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our technicians know the difference between cleaning ducts in a 1920s triple-decker off Pleasant Street and a post-war ranch near Westgate Drive.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Brockton’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Brockton homeowners call us after they’ve watched other crews vacuum the registers and leave. We don’t do half jobs. Our Air Duct Cleaning team arrives in uniform, background-checked, with a written price in hand before touching anything. That price doesn’t move at the door.
We answer our phones live, 24 hours a day. No voicemail loops, no callback queues on a Monday morning. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every job in writing: if the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Our Boston office coordinates scheduling for Brockton, and crews carry the full equipment roster: Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for debris extraction, and HEPA filtration from Abatement Technologies. We don’t rent gear. We own it, maintain it, and know exactly what each machine pulls out of Brockton’s older ductwork.
We serve Brockton homes with a specific understanding you won’t get from a generic outfit: the coal dust, oil soot, and paper-mill lint embedded in pre-1950 systems here isn’t standard household debris. It’s industrial-era buildup that demands proper agitation, negative pressure, and sealing to actually remove.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Brockton
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Brockton means addressing decades of accumulation in housing stock you won’t find in most Boston suburbs. A typical full-system clean here runs $350 – $650, with supply duct cleaning at $180 – $320 and return duct cleaning at $160 – $300. The price is written down before we start, and it doesn’t change.
Most Brockton homes we see fall into two categories: early-1900s triple-deckers with original galvanized steel ducts or later flexible duct retrofits, and post-WWII capes and ranches on the south and west sides. Both have distinct problems. The older systems frequently show disconnected joints, rust scale, and heavy debris. The retrofits often get crushed in tight basements or pulled apart at connections.
Our process starts with a video inspection. We run a camera through the supply and return runs to document what we’re dealing with before we quote. You’ll see what we see. Then we set up negative-air containment, agitate the duct walls with rotary brushes, and extract debris under constant suction. If we find converted coal-chute returns in a Campello basement, we flag them for sealing. A clean without sealing is a wasted job in this city.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push heated or conditioned air into your rooms. In Brockton’s triple-deckers, these runs often travel through unconditioned walls and basements where condensation collects. We use rotary brush agitation to knock loose the buildup, then extract it under negative pressure so nothing drifts into your living space.
Return Duct Cleaning and Sealing
Return ducts pull air back to the handler for reheating or recooling. This is where Brockton’s converted coal chutes show up, especially in Campello and downtown basements. We clean the run, then seal the old chute opening with proper duct sealing mastic so residual coal dust stops re-entering your system.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Brockton
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Brockton covers office buildings, retail spaces, restaurants, and multi-unit properties from the downtown corridor to the Westgate Mall area. Typical commercial jobs run $800 – $2,400 depending on system size and contamination level. We price by the system, not by the vent, and we put it in writing before we start.
Brockton’s commercial buildings share a heritage with its residential stock: many were built during the shoe and paper mill era, with ductwork retrofitted decades after original construction. We find the same industrial-era debris in commercial returns, plus grease and particulate loads from current operations. Our Nikro negative-air machines handle the larger volume, and we coordinate work around your business hours to minimize disruption.
We carry out full system cleaning for commercial clients, including rooftop units, exhaust systems, and makeup air ducts. Every job gets the same written price guarantee and 365-Day Done Right Promise as our residential work.
Multi-Unit and Property Management
Triple-decker owners and property managers in Brockton need scheduled cleaning that doesn’t disturb tenants. We coordinate access, work floor by floor, and document before-and-after conditions with video inspection. Your maintenance records stay clean, and your tenants breathe easier.
Restaurant and Kitchen Exhaust
Grease-laden exhaust systems in Brockton restaurants require more than surface cleaning. We use rotary agitation and negative-air extraction to remove built-up grease from duct walls, reducing fire risk and improving airflow for your hood system.
Trusted Brands We Service in Brockton
Our trucks carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, plus filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. These aren’t hardware-store tools. Rotobrush rotary systems handle the tight turns in Brockton’s older galvanized ductwork. Nikro negative-air machines maintain constant suction during agitation so debris doesn’t escape into your home. Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration captures fine particulate down to 0.3 microns, critical for coal dust and mold spore containment. We stock filters and replacement parts for these brands locally, so if your system needs a filtration upgrade after cleaning, we can install it same visit.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Brockton Homes
- Converted coal-chute returns in Campello basements. Old coal chutes repurposed as duct returns still feed fine black dust into the system. A standard cleaning misses this unless the technician inspects with a camera and seals the opening after extraction.
- Disconnected flex duct retrofits in triple-deckers. Early-1900s buildings later fitted with flexible duct often show crushed or separated runs in tight basement spaces. We find these during video inspection and quote repair before cleaning begins.
- Winter-condensation mold in basement and crawlspace runs. Brockton’s heating season runs October through April, and cold ducts in warm basements sweat. Mold grows on the debris layer inside. Cleaning without addressing the air handler’s moisture source means mildew returns next season.
- Rust scale and joint separation in original galvanized steel. Decades of moisture and vibration loosen duct connections and flake rust into the airstream. We document the damage and recommend sealing or replacement where the duct integrity is compromised.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Brockton
Most crews clean the visible runs but miss the converted coal-chute returns in Campello and downtown basements, leaving residual coal dust that re-contaminates the system within weeks. We seal those openings after cleaning. Call (361) 326-5060 if your home still smells musty after a previous cleaning.
Coal dust, oil soot, paper-mill lint, rust scale, and decades of household debris layered into a compacted mass. Rotary brush agitation breaks it loose, and negative-air extraction removes it without spreading into your home.
Yes. Heating systems run 24/7 from October through April, pulling more debris through the ducts annually than in milder climates. Humid summers and freeze-thaw cycles also promote mold in basement runs. Most Brockton homes benefit from cleaning every 3 – 5 years, sooner if you notice musty odors or reduced airflow.
We document it during video inspection, show you the damage, and quote repair before cleaning. Cleaning a disconnected duct pushes debris into your basement or wall cavity instead of extracting it. We fix the duct integrity first.
Yes. We follow NADCA assessment, cleaning, and restoration guidelines on every job: protect the work area, use source-removal methods with proper agitation and extraction, and verify results with post-cleaning inspection. Our equipment and process meet or exceed NADCA specifications for residential and commercial systems.
