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.

Air duct cleaning in Chamblee, GA typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and is usually completed in one visit. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our crews work Chamblee regularly – from the new townhomes sprouting near Dresden Drive to the ranch houses tucked into Huntley Hills. Scheduling and dispatch are coordinated from our Atlanta office, but the technicians who arrive at your Chamblee door are local, uniformed, and background-checked. We know the difference between a 1962 galvanized steel system and a brand-new flex-duct install, and we price each in writing before any work starts. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Chamblee’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our Air Duct Cleaning team has built a reputation in DeKalb County by showing up inside the window, pricing in writing, and leaving the site clean. Chamblee customers aren’t looking for the lowest teaser quote – they’ve seen how that ends. They want the price they were quoted to be the price on the invoice.
Our 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. No negotiation, no runaround. Technicians arrive in uniform, and you’ll know who’s coming before they knock. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – no voicemail loops, no callback queues on a Monday morning.
We know Chamblee’s specific problems. The humid subtropical climate here, with those muggy summers that run from May through September, creates ideal conditions for mold and mildew growth inside ductwork. The city’s rapid redevelopment means we’re cleaning tight new systems one day and original 1950s galvanized steel the next. That local knowledge changes how we approach the job.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Chamblee
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Chamblee covers office buildings, retail spaces, restaurants, and multi-unit properties where occupancy codes and insurance requirements demand documented maintenance. A typical commercial system in Chamblee runs $800 – $2,400 depending on square footage, access difficulty, and whether the job requires after-hours scheduling to avoid disrupting business.
Chamblee’s commercial corridors along Peachtree Boulevard and Buford Highway include everything from 1970s strip-mall units with original metal ductwork to newly built medical offices with sophisticated filtration. We size the crew and equipment to the building, not the other way around.
Multi-Unit and Property Management
Property managers in Chamblee’s growing apartment and condo stock need scheduled cleanings that don’t violate lease quiet-hours or block parking. We coordinate access with on-site staff, document before-and-after conditions with photo logs, and provide written reports for insurance and code compliance files.
Restaurant and Kitchen Exhaust Coordination
Restaurants near Chamblee’s international district often need hood and grease exhaust cleaning alongside ductwork maintenance. We coordinate both services in one visit where possible, reducing downtime and keeping the health inspection file current.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Chamblee
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Chamblee include residential whole-system cleaning, supply and return duct cleaning, full system cleaning with video inspection, and dryer vent cleaning. A typical residential job in Chamblee runs $350 – $650 for a single-system home, with larger homes or systems with substantial construction debris sometimes reaching $750 – $950.
We use the negative-air method on most jobs: a large vacuum attached to the main trunk line pulls continuous suction while rotary brushes or compressed-air whips agitate debris loose from the duct walls. Everything we disturb gets captured at the machine, filtered through HEPA, and exhausted outside. No dust pushed into your living space.
Video Inspection and Documentation
Before we start, we run a camera through the system and show you what we find. Afterward, we run it again. Chamblee homeowners, especially those in new construction who’ve been told their ducts were “cleaned” at handover, are often surprised by what the camera reveals.
Source Removal and Sealing
True source removal means debris leaves the building, not just the duct. For Chamblee’s older homes with disconnected joints in the attic, we flag separations during cleaning and can seal them with mastic – stopping the energy loss and dust distribution that plagues neighborhoods like Huntley Hills.

Trusted Brands We Service in Chamblee
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for residential branch lines, Nikro negative-air machines for whole-system jobs, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. We don’t show up with hardware-store shop vacs and a prayer. The Rotobrush system works particularly well in Chamblee’s older ranches where galvanized steel ducts have internal rust scaling that needs mechanical agitation. For newer flex-duct systems in townhomes, we switch to gentler methods that won’t tear or kink the material. We stock common filters and replacement parts locally, so if your Chamblee home needs a media upgrade after cleaning, we can install it same visit rather than ordering and rescheduling.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Chamblee Homes
- Construction debris in new townhomes. Chamblee’s rapid redevelopment has produced blocks of new mid-rises and townhomes with ducts full of drywall dust, joint compound fines, and wood shavings from rough-in. Because these buildings are sealed so tightly, that debris has nowhere to escape and recirculates through the HVAC system until it’s physically removed.
- Disconnected galvanized steel in older ranches. In Huntley Hills and similar neighborhoods, original 1960s ductwork often has separated joints hidden in attics or crawl spaces. Homeowners notice dust on registers and uneven temperatures; we find the break during camera inspection and seal it with mastic after cleaning.
- Mold and mildew from humid summers. Chamblee’s humid subtropical climate means air conditioning runs hard from May through September. When indoor humidity stays elevated and cold duct surfaces meet warm attic air, microbial growth follows. We treat affected areas with EPA-registered products and recommend humidity control solutions.
- Road-construction dust near I-285. The perpetual highway work around Chamblee’s perimeter generates fine particulate that gets pulled into return ducts, especially in homes within a few blocks of the interstate. Without source removal, this dust re-coats ducts after superficial cleanings.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Chamblee
Brand-new ducts in Chamblee often contain construction debris that the builder’s flush didn’t remove. Drywall dust, joint compound fines, and wood shavings get trapped in supply and return lines during rough-in, and in tightly sealed new construction, that debris has no path out except through your vents. We recommend a NADCA-standard source-removal cleaning before your first heavy cooling season. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule an inspection.
Older ranches typically have galvanized steel ductwork that can rust internally and often has disconnected joints in the attic; cleaning requires mechanical agitation and post-clean sealing. New mid-rises use flexible ducting that’s prone to kinks and tears, so we use gentler methods and verify integrity with camera inspection. The debris profile differs too – rust scale and decades of accumulation versus construction dust and drywall fines. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll match the method to your system.
Yes. The highway work around Chamblee’s perimeter generates fine silica dust and diesel particulate that infiltrates homes near the corridor, especially through return air intakes. Without source removal, this material re-coats ducts after surface cleaning. We’ve found significant road-construction debris in systems as far as several blocks from the interstate. Call (361) 326-5060 for a camera inspection if you live near the I-285 corridor.
Chamblee’s humid subtropical climate creates conditions for mold growth when cold duct surfaces meet warm, moist attic air or when indoor humidity stays above 60 percent for extended periods. This is most common in systems with poor insulation or in homes where the air conditioner runs constantly during July and August. We treat visible microbial growth with EPA-registered products and can recommend humidity control strategies. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection.
We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems for residential agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for whole-system source removal, and HEPA filtration from Abatement Technologies on every job. For filtration upgrades, we install Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman products. This is the same equipment commercial crews use, maintained to manufacturer spec, operated by technicians trained on each system. Call (361) 326-5060 with questions about any specific component.
