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.

Grapevine isn’t like other North Texas cities. You’ve got Victorian-era homes with original galvanized steel ducts sitting blocks from new Lakeside builds with high-efficiency flex systems. Our technicians carry both rotary brush systems and negative-air machines because we never know which era of ductwork we’re walking into. Whether you’re off Main Street in the historic district or in Silver Lake near the airport, we price it in writing, show up inside the window, and leave the site clean.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Grapevine’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Grapevine on one thing: doing what we said we’d do. That means arriving when we said we would, pricing the job before we touch anything, and backing it with the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and you’ll know who’s arriving before they pull into your driveway. 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.
We know the local conditions that shape your ductwork. The humid subtropical climate here means HVAC systems run almost year-round, and the high humidity promotes mold and mildew growth when drainage is poor. Spring and fall bring heavy pollen from oak, cedar, and grass that accumulates fast in return ducts. And for homes near DFW Airport flight paths, there’s a contamination signature most homeowners haven’t seen before.
Air Duct Repair in Grapevine
Air Duct Repair in Grapevine often starts with a cleaning appointment that turns into something more honest. We pull up expecting to run a rotary brush system through standard flex duct and find original galvanized steel runs disconnected under a pier-and-beam floor, or a torn flex connection pulling unfiltered attic air straight into the air handler. In Grapevine, repair work typically runs $200 – $500 for reconnections and sealing, and $400 – $800 when we need to replace crushed or rusted sections.
Disconnected Runs Under Pier-and-Beam Homes
In Historic Downtown Grapevine, we regularly find galvanized steel ducts that have separated beneath the floor. The homeowner calls for cleaning because of dust, but the real problem is the system pulling air from the crawl space, not the living space. We catch these with camera inspection before we quote any work.
Crushed Flex Duct in Attics
Silver Lake and Glade Crossing homes from the 1980s – 2000s often have flex duct runs that were improperly installed or crushed by storage items in 100°F+ attics. A crushed run starves the blower motor and creates back pressure that leaks at every joint. We map the system with video inspection, quote the repair in writing, and restore proper airflow.
Ductwork Cleaning in Grapevine
Ductwork Cleaning in Grapevine means different things depending on which part of town you’re in. For a typical 2,000-square-foot home with a standard forced-air system, expect $350 – $550 for supply and return cleaning using negative-air method and rotary brush agitation. Historic homes with galvanized steel ductwork or complex access issues may run $500 – $650. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines, and we explain what each tool does before we start it up.
Source Removal for Decades of Accumulation
Original galvanized steel ducts in Historic Downtown Grapevine homes can hold 30, 40, sometimes 50 years of gray, compacted dust. Standard vacuuming doesn’t touch it. We use mechanical agitation with the Rotobrush to break it loose, then extract it under negative pressure so nothing escapes into your living space.
Handling the Black Sooty Film Near DFW Airport
Homes in Silver Lake and Glade Crossing under flight paths develop a black, sooty coating from jet exhaust and diesel particulates that looks like mold but isn’t. Homeowners call us worried. We run a camera, show them the source, and clean it with the same negative-air method. The difference in air quality afterward is immediate.
Trusted Brands We Service in Grapevine
We stock parts and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman for Grapevine customers, which means most repairs don’t wait on shipping. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for controlled extraction, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration for containment. These are the same tools commercial crews use in hospitals and schools, not hardware-store vacuums with a brush attachment. When we show up to your home in Grapevine, we come prepared for whatever your system requires.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Grapevine Homes
- Original galvanized steel ducts with rust scale and disconnection. In Historic Downtown Grapevine, we find steel runs from the early 1900s that have separated at joints or corroded through. A standard cleaning misses the problem entirely; camera inspection is the only way to see what’s happening under the floor.
- Black sooty film mistaken for mold. Homes near DFW Airport flight paths, especially in Glade Crossing and Silver Lake, accumulate jet exhaust particulates that coat duct interiors black. Homeowners panic. We explain the source, verify with inspection, and clean it properly.
- Crushed flex duct in hot attics. Grapevine’s 100°F+ summer attic temperatures soften flex duct material. Add storage boxes or a technician who walked on it, and you’ve got a flattened run that whistles, leaks, and wastes energy.
- Asbestos-wrapped duct sections in pre-1970s homes. We encounter this in older Grapevine properties. Our crews are trained to wet-wrap and remove properly, not agitate and release fibers into your air. This is not a job for an untrained outfit.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Grapevine
It’s jet exhaust and diesel particulates from DFW Airport flight paths, not mold. The black, sooty film accumulates in ducts under active flight corridors and has a distinct oily texture compared to household dust. We verify the source with camera inspection, explain what we’re seeing, and clean it with negative-air extraction. Call (361) 326-5060 if you’re seeing this – we’ll confirm what it is and quote removal.
Yes, but it requires the right equipment and pace. We use Rotobrush rotary systems at controlled speed to break loose decades of compacted dust without stressing corroded metal joints. We also run a camera first to check for rust holes or disconnections that would make cleaning pointless until repairs are done. The price is quoted in writing before we start.
Possibly. Pre-1970s Grapevine homes can have asbestos-wrapped duct sections that an untrained crew will disturb and release into your air. Our technicians are trained to identify, wet-wrap, and remove these sections properly per safe handling protocols. We check during our initial inspection and adjust the work plan if asbestos is present. Never let an unqualified outfit agitate suspected asbestos.
Every 3 – 5 years for most Grapevine homes, but homes near DFW Airport flight paths or with heavy oak and cedar pollen exposure may need it every 2 – 3 years. The black sooty film from jet exhaust doesn’t stay put; it recirculates and loads your filter faster. If you’re changing filters monthly and still seeing dust accumulation, it’s time for inspection. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
It depends on the source. Musty smells from dust and debris accumulation usually clear after source removal. But in Grapevine’s humid subtropical climate, mold growth from poor drainage or oversized AC systems requires remediation, not just cleaning. We run a camera inspection to identify whether the smell is biological growth or accumulated debris, and we tell you honestly which it is before quoting any work.
