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 Brookhaven
Air duct cleaning in Brookhaven, GA typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system and is usually scheduled within a few business days, with our Atlanta office coordinating dispatch to Brookhaven neighborhoods directly. We’re familiar with the mixed housing stock here, from original 1950s ranch homes off Dresden Drive to the teardown rebuilds in Ashford Park and Drew Valley where new flex duct overlays old galvanized systems. That combination creates problems most cleaners miss. Our Air Duct Cleaning team arrives with Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines, background-checked and uniformed, with a written price before any work starts.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Brookhaven’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our Brookhaven work is built on repeat calls from homeowners who’ve watched other companies miss the dead duct in their attic. Roy Castellanos runs Hollis under The Garrison Standard, which means written prices, written guarantees, and no moving targets.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and expected to behave by The Garrison Code on every job: arrive inside the quoted window, price in writing, complete the work by the book, and leave the site clean. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every repair for a full year; if the work fails, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday for someone to pick up. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Atlanta office, with crews serving Brookhaven locally.
We know the local conditions that shape the work: the heavy pine and oak canopy that dumps yellow-green pollen into returns every March, the 130 – 150°F attics that sweat flex duct into sagging microbial growth, and the hybrid duct systems that are almost unique to this market.
Air Duct Inspection in Brookhaven
Air Duct Inspection in Brookhaven starts with understanding whether your home has a single-generation duct system or the hybrid setup common after teardown rebuilds. Our technician runs a video camera through the full supply and return network, looking for debris loading, disconnected joints, moisture damage, and abandoned trunk lines that were never capped when new flex duct was layered over them. A typical inspection in Brookhaven runs $150 – $250 and includes a written report with photo documentation.
What We Look For in Older Ranch Homes
Original mid-century homes near Dresden Drive and North Druid Hills often still run 4- to 6-inch galvanized trunk-and-branch systems. The camera shows rust scale, past rodent activity, and decades of settled debris that rotary brushing alone won’t dislodge without proper agitation.
Teardown Rebuild Camera Checks
In Ashford Park and Drew Valley, we specifically hunt for abandoned galvanized lines left under new flex duct. The camera reveals whether that dead pipe is still open to the return plenum, pulling dirty attic air into your breathing space. Catching this changes the scope and the outcome of the cleaning.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Brookhaven
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Brookhaven is rarely a simple single-system job. Most homes here have seen at least one major renovation, and the ductwork tells that story in layers. We clean the full supply and return network, the air handler cabinet, and the registers using negative-air containment and rotary brush agitation. A typical residential cleaning in Brookhaven runs $350 – $650 for a full system, with add-ons for detached structures or dead-duct sealing.
Cleaning Hybrid Galvanized-and-Flex Systems
When we find abandoned galvanized trunk lines under new flex duct, we don’t just clean around them. We use negative pressure to extract debris from the old pipe, then cap or seal it so the new system stops pulling dirty air from a dead source. This step is what separates a surface clean from a solved problem.
Slab and Chase Ducts in Two-Story Homes
Homes in Brittany and parts of Ashford Park built in the 1970s and 1980s often have original branch ducts buried in slab or chase construction. These runs require specialized agitation tools and careful negative-air setup to avoid pushing debris deeper. We adjust our approach based on what the inspection shows.
Trusted Brands We Service in Brookhaven
We carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, the same tools commercial crews use in hospitals and schools. For filtration upgrades, we stock Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman products sized for Brookhaven’s mixed housing stock. Our Atlanta office keeps common parts and filter sizes on hand, so we’re not ordering and making you wait. When a Brittany homeowner needs a MERV upgrade after we find microbial growth in a sweating flex duct, we can often install it the same visit.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Brookhaven Homes
- Abandoned galvanized trunk lines feeding dirty air into new systems. In Ashford Park and Drew Valley, teardown rebuilds often left original hard pipe in place when flex duct was run over it. That dead line stays connected to the return plenum, pulling attic debris and old rust scale into air the homeowner just paid to clean.
- Flex duct sweating and sagging in unconditioned attics. Brookhaven’s summer attic temperatures hit 130 – 150°F, and winter humidity keeps the space damp. Flex duct without proper insulation grade or support straps sags, pools condensation, and grows microbial contamination that recolonizes within months if the root cause isn’t addressed.
- Original 4- to 6-inch branch ducts buried in slab or chase. The 1970s – 80s two-story homes in Brittany and Ashford Park often have these runs. They’re easy to skip with a quick vent cleaning, but debris stays trapped until rotary agitation and proper negative-air pull are applied with the right access.
- Spring pollen loading from the heavy pine and oak canopy. Every March, Brookhaven returns fill with visible yellow-green dust. Without cleaning, that material compacts in the duct base, reducing airflow and forcing the HVAC system to run longer cycles.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Brookhaven
Yes. The abandoned galvanized line must be located, cleaned if accessible, and sealed or capped so it stops feeding debris into the new system’s return. In Ashford Park and Drew Valley, we find this hybrid setup on most teardown rebuilds. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll scope it first.
Every 3 – 5 years for most Brookhaven homes, but every 2 – 3 years if you’re on a dirt road, have heavy tree canopy exposure, or run the system year-round. The spring pollen load here is heavier than in drier markets, and attic humidity accelerates microbial growth in flex duct. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
We use rotary brush agitation sized to the smaller diameter, combined with negative-air containment so debris exits the home rather than settling in rooms. These galvanized lines often have rust scale and settled dust that wet methods would paste to the wall. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact scope.
Yes. We clean detached garages, guest houses, and workshop HVAC systems starting around $200 per system, depending on size and access. These systems often have heavier loading from workshop dust or less frequent filter changes. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
A technician runs a video camera through your full supply and return network, documents debris loading, moisture damage, disconnected joints, and any abandoned duct lines, then provides a written report with photos.
