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.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Brushy Creek’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our Austin office dispatches crews to Brushy Creek daily. That matters when your AC has been running nonstop through another 105°F July and you’re wondering if the weak airflow upstairs is a blower issue or fifteen years of baked-on dust in flex duct.
Our customers in Brushy Creek aren’t looking for the lowest coupon price. They’re looking for the crew that shows up inside the window, prices the job in writing, and doesn’t turn a $99 special into a $900 invoice at the door. The Garrison Standard requires exactly that: arrive when we said, write the price before work starts, complete the job by the book, leave the site clean. Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise – if the work fails within a year, 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, seven days a week. No voicemail loops. No callback queues. No waiting until Monday when your system is circulating rodent droppings from a greenbelt attic nest.
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Brushy Creek
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Brushy Creek means source removal on the complete air distribution system: supply ducts, return ducts, the air handler cabinet, blower assembly, and register grilles, all cleaned under controlled negative pressure with HEPA filtration. Most Brushy Creek homes built between 1990 and 2010 have flex duct runs in unconditioned attics where summer temperatures exceed 140°F, baking fine dust and pollen onto duct walls until it congeals into a coating a basic vacuum can’t touch. A typical residential HVAC duct cleaning in Brushy Creek runs $350 – $650 depending on system size and accessibility.
Rotary Brush Agitation for Baked-On Deposits
We run Rotobrush rotary brush systems through each duct run to break loose the congealed dust that 140°F attic heat has cemented to flex duct walls. The brushes contact the duct interior directly, dislodging material that negative-air suction alone leaves behind. In Brushy Creek, this step is non-negotiable – the climate here guarantees baked-on deposits that “blow-and-go” outfits skip.
Negative-Air Source Removal with HEPA Containment
Our Nikro negative-air machines pull 2,000+ CFM through the duct system while the Rotobrush agitates, capturing dislodged debris before it enters your living space. HEPA filtration on the exhaust means nothing escapes into the home. This is the method NADCA specifies, and it’s how we protect Brushy Creek’s sealed slab-on-grade homes from recontaminating themselves.
Vent Cleaning in Brushy Creek
Vent Cleaning in Brushy Creek covers the visible supply and return registers, the boot connections behind walls, and the first few feet of ductwork where debris concentrates heaviest. Cedar and juniper pollen loads here are among the highest in Central Texas, and that allergen burden collects at register faces and in boot drops where homeowners notice it first. A standalone vent cleaning for a Brushy Creek home runs $150 – $275, though most customers bundle it with full system work. We also clean dryer vents, which in greenbelt-backed homes often clog with lint mixed with rodent nesting material from attic runs above.
Register and Boot Deep Cleaning
We remove every register grille, clean the boot cavity behind it with contact vacuums and agitation tools, and treat for biological growth where Brushy Creek’s humidity has allowed it. The boots are where your air enters the room – if they’re filthy, the rest of the system is circulating through a dirty gateway.
Dryer Vent Integration
Many Brushy Creek homes have dryer ducts that share chase space with HVAC flex runs. We inspect both during our visit and will tell you honestly if the dryer vent needs separate attention. Fire risk from lint buildup is real, and greenbelt rodent activity accelerates blockage.
Trusted Brands We Service in Brushy Creek
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for controlled debris extraction, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration for containment. For homes needing upgraded filtration after cleaning, we stock Aprilaire and Guardsman media filters sized to Brushy Creek’s common system configurations – 16x25x4 and 20x25x4 are the standards we see most in this market. We don’t sell hardware-store gear. These are the same tools and products commercial crews use in hospitals and schools, and we explain what each one does while we’re working so you understand what you’re paying for.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Brushy Creek Homes
- Baked-on dust congealed by extreme attic heat. Brushy Creek attics hit 140°F+ for months each summer. Fine dust and pollen cook onto flex duct interiors until it forms a hard coating. Basic vacuum suction won’t remove it; rotary brush agitation and source removal under negative pressure are required.
- Rodent nesting in greenbelt-backed attic runs. Homes in Behrens Ranch and Walsh Ranch back directly onto the Brushy Creek greenbelt corridor. Roof rats and squirrels access attic flex duct regularly, building nests, leaving droppings, and chewing insulation. We find this on camera inspections in roughly one of every three greenbelt-backed homes we service.
- Original 1990s – 2000s flex duct with tears and sagging. Brushy Creek’s housing stock is aging into replacement territory. Duct cleaning on compromised flex runs is sometimes the wrong service entirely – we will tell you honestly when partial duct replacement is the honest call, and we carry the material to do it.
- Radon-laden return-air chases in sealed slab homes. Brushy Creek sits on some of Central Texas’ highest radon-risk ground. Slab-on-grade construction with interior-wall return chases creates a pathway for soil-gas radon to enter the HVAC circulation. Cleaning without negative-pressure HEPA containment can spread contamination rather than remove it.

A typical residential full-system cleaning in Brushy Creek runs $350 – $650. Commercial systems start around $800 and scale to $1,400+ depending on square footage and access complexity.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Brushy Creek
Every 2 – 3 years for greenbelt-backed homes in Brushy Creek, versus 3 – 5 years for interior lots. The greenbelt corridor brings rodent pressure, pollen loading, and dust from unpaved trail access that interior neighborhoods don’t face. Homes with original 1990s flex duct or known rodent history should schedule annual inspections. Call (361) 326-5060 to set up a cleaning schedule that matches your property’s exposure.
Duct cleaning doesn’t remove radon from soil, but it removes the dust and debris that trap radon progeny inside your duct system and recirculate them. In Brushy Creek’s high-radon-risk zone, we clean return-air chases and air handler cabinets to NADCA standards under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, which is the proper method for homes where radon is a concern. We will not spread contamination with an uncontrolled vacuum. For actual radon mitigation, we can refer you to certified mitigation contractors.
Sometimes, but often no. Original flex duct in Brushy Creek’s 1990s – 2000s builds is now 15 – 25 years old, with UV degradation, sagging between supports, and tears from rodent activity. We camera-inspect first. If the duct is intact, we clean it. If it’s compromised, we’ll show you the video and quote partial replacement at $45 – $85 per linear foot – because cleaning torn, sagging duct is throwing money at a failing system. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll inspect before we price.
Your home backs onto the Brushy Creek greenbelt, a continuous corridor of cover, water, and food that supports high rodent populations. Roof rats travel the greenbelt, access attics via tree branches and construction gaps, and find flex duct insulation ideal nesting material – soft, warm, and protected. We regularly pull nests, droppings, and chewed insulation from attic runs in these neighborhoods. A camera inspection finds what you can’t see from the register.
We show you before-and-after photos from our camera inspection, measure blower motor amp draw before and after (restricted ducts make the blower work harder), and leave you with a written report of what was removed and how the system tested. If a crew won’t show you photos or data, they probably didn’t do source removal. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise means if you’re not satisfied, we come back. Call (361) 326-5060 for a cleaning you can verify.
