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 Gahanna
Air duct cleaning in Gahanna typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system, and most jobs are scheduled within a few days of your call. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our Air Duct Cleaning crews serve Gahanna from our Cleveland dispatch office, with technicians who know the difference between a mid-century ranch west of Hamilton Road and a newer two-story off Taylor Station Road. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Gahanna’s housing stock tells a story. The older west side has ranches and splits built in the 1960s and 70s with galvanized steel ductwork and early flexible runs. The east side grew later, with larger homes and more complex HVAC layouts. Both have been running air through those ducts for decades. We find what that accumulation looks like, and we fix what we find.

Air Duct Repair in Gahanna
Air Duct Repair in Gahanna often starts with a cleaning appointment that reveals damage we didn’t expect to find. Our technicians inspect every system before work begins, and in Gahanna’s older homes, we regularly discover crushed flex duct in attics, disconnected runs behind drywall, and cracked seals that have been leaking conditioned air for years. Repair costs typically run $200 – $500 for minor fixes like reattaching runs or sealing joints, and $600 – $1,200 for replacing damaged trunk lines or extensive flex duct. We write the price down before any repair work starts.
Crushed and Disconnected Flex Duct
Original flex duct in west-side Gahanna homes has often been stepped on by contractors, compressed by storage items in attics, or simply collapsed under its own weight after forty years. We locate the damage with video inspection, replace the affected run with new insulated flex, and seal all connections with mastic. Pressure balance returns immediately. Energy bills drop.
Galvanized Trunk Restoration
Mid-century galvanized steel ducts corrode at seams and collect debris in low spots. We cut access panels where needed, mechanically clean the interior, and seal joints with UL-181 rated mastic. Where corrosion has penetrated the metal, we section in new trunk line rather than patchwork that fails again.
Ductwork Cleaning in Gahanna
Ductwork Cleaning in Gahanna removes decades of accumulated debris from the hidden pathways that carry every breath of air in your home. Our process uses Rotobrush rotary brush systems for metal ducts and soft-whip attachments for flexible runs, paired with Nikro negative-air machines that maintain suction throughout the job. A typical residential cleaning in Gahanna runs $350 – $650 depending on system size and accessibility. Commercial systems start around $800. We provide a written price before work begins, and that price includes the full system: supply ducts, return ducts, and the main trunk lines.
Aviation Exhaust and Specialized Contamination
Homes near Port Columbus, particularly in Rocky Fork and Blacklick, develop a fine black film inside ducts that standard vacuuming won’t touch. We apply chemical cleaning agents formulated for combustion byproducts, agitate with rotary brushes, and extract thoroughly. The difference is visible on our before-and-after photos.
Video Inspection and Documentation
We run a camera through your system before and after cleaning. You see what we see. No guesswork, no claims without proof. The footage goes with your invoice if you want it.
Trusted Brands We Service in Gahanna
Our equipment comes from manufacturers who build for commercial crews, not hardware stores. We clean with Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines, and we install filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies. For Gahanna homeowners, this means parts and filters are available without long waits. If your system needs a component we don’t stock, we source it fast through our Cleveland supply relationships. No chasing down specialty items on your own.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Gahanna Homes
- Aviation soot in airport-adjacent neighborhoods. Homes within a mile of Port Columbus, especially in Rocky Fork and Blacklick, accumulate a distinctive black film from jet exhaust particulates. Standard vacuuming smears it. We use chemical agents and mechanical agitation to remove it completely.
- Crushed flex duct in older west-side attics. The original flexible duct in 1960s and 70s Gahanna ranches collapses under weight or deteriorates at bends. This creates pressure imbalances that force your HVAC system to work harder and deliver less air to rooms.
- Failed duct seals after winter heating cycles. Gahanna’s cold winters expand and contract metal ductwork, cracking mastic and loosening tape at joints. Come spring, attic air and crawlspace dust pull straight into your living spaces through those gaps.
- Mold and dust mite proliferation in summer humidity. Hot, humid Gahanna summers keep cooling coils working overtime. Condensation in poorly insulated ducts breeds biological growth that circulates through every room.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Gahanna
Jet exhaust from low-altitude approach traffic deposits ultrafine combustion particulates into HVAC systems near the flight path. In Gahanna neighborhoods like Rocky Fork and Blacklick, we regularly find a black, soot-like film coating duct interiors that standard vacuuming cannot remove. We use chemical cleaning agents and rotary brush agitation specifically formulated for this contamination. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection if you live near the airport corridor.
West-side Gahanna ranches and splits from the 1960s and 70s typically have original galvanized steel trunk lines with corrosion at seams, plus early flexible duct runs that have collapsed or disconnected in attics. We also find decades of accumulated debris, failed original mastic seals, and sometimes evidence of past rodent activity. Our video inspection shows you exactly what’s in your system before we clean. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
Yes, and we often do. When our camera reveals crushed or disconnected flex duct, we stop and show you the footage. Minor repairs like reattaching runs or replacing a damaged flex section can usually be completed the same day. Larger trunk line damage may require a return visit with materials, priced in writing before any additional work. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss what we found in your system.
Hot, humid summers promote mold growth and dust mite populations inside cool ductwork, while cold winters expand and contract metal ducts until seals crack. Year-round HVAC usage means air moves through contaminated pathways constantly. We recommend cleaning every 3 – 5 years for typical Gahanna homes, more frequently if you have allergies, pets, or live near the airport. Call (361) 326-5060 for a schedule that fits your situation.
Yes. Our cleaning protocols follow NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) guidelines for source removal, including protected access openings, mechanical agitation, and negative-air containment. We document the work with before-and-after video. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers our Gahanna jobs in writing: if the work fails within a year, we return at no charge. Call (361) 326-5060 with questions about our process.
