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.
Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Lochmoor Waterway Estates
Air duct cleaning in Lochmoor Waterway Estates typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system and is scheduled within a few business days, with our Miami office coordinating dispatch to your canal-front neighborhood. If you’re noticing musty odors when the AC kicks on, seeing dust settle faster than it should, or watching your energy bills climb through the humid summer months, your ductwork is likely circulating more than just cooled air. We’re familiar with the salt-laden breeze off the canals, the concrete block ranches along Southland Road, and the way that subtropical humidity works its way into attic flex duct. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll get you a written price before any work starts.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Lochmoor Waterway Estates’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been handling Air Duct Cleaning across South Florida since 2004, and the crews serving Lochmoor Waterway Estates know the difference between inland Fort Myers ductwork and what saltwater canal living does to a system. Roy Castellanos built this operation on The Garrison Standard: arrive inside the window, price it in writing, finish by the book, leave the site clean.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and equipped with Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines, the same tools commercial crews run on high-rise jobs in Miami. They don’t guess at what’s in your ducts. They inspect first, show you what they found, and hand you a written price that doesn’t move once the van door closes.
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 to schedule. That’s not a perk; it’s how we operate.
Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise 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.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Lochmoor Waterway Estates
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Lochmoor Waterway Estates address a specific set of challenges that inland Florida homes rarely face. The job involves removing accumulated dust, debris, microbial growth, and salt residue from your supply and return ductwork using a combination of rotary brush agitation and negative-air extraction. Most Lochmoor Waterway Estates homeowners need this every 3 – 5 years, sooner if they notice reduced airflow, persistent odors, or visible mold near vents. A typical full residential cleaning in this market runs $350 – $650 depending on system size and accessibility.
Residential System Cleaning
Single-story concrete block ranches dominate the housing stock here, many with original flex duct from the 1970s or 1980s still running through hot attics and garage spaces. We clean the full trunk line, branch ducts, and boots, then verify airflow improvement with before-and-after visual documentation.

Video Inspection and Documentation
Our technicians feed a camera through the system before touching anything. You’ll see the salt buildup, mold staining, or rodent debris for yourself. After cleaning, we run it again so you can verify the work.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in Lochmoor Waterway Estates
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Lochmoor Waterway Estates goes beyond surface dust removal because the salt-heavy air drawn in from the canals accelerates corrosion and creates an environment where microbial growth thrives year-round. The job covers the entire forced-air system: supply ducts, return ducts, plenum, and accessible components of the air handler itself. We recommend this service when you smell mustiness on startup, see uneven cooling between rooms, or after any period where the system was shut down during a storm outage and condensation sat stagnant. Commercial properties along the canal corridors typically see quotes in the $800 – $1,400 range; residential systems run $350 – $650.
Post-Storm Recovery Cleaning
After tropical systems push canal water into the neighborhood, salt spray coats exterior vents and intake grilles. We frequently find duct systems that smell like the canal because that air was drawn directly into the returns. Our post-storm protocol includes a salt-residue rinse and antimicrobial fogging with Guardsman-treated applications that standard inland cleanings don’t require.
Commercial and Multi-Unit Systems
Small commercial buildings and duplexes near the waterway face compounded loading from multiple units and shared wall cavities. We coordinate with property managers to clean during off-hours and provide written documentation for maintenance records.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lochmoor Waterway Estates
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for controlled debris extraction, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. We don’t show up with hardware-store vacuums and extension wands. For Lochmoor Waterway Estates homeowners, this means the same commercial-grade tools used in Miami high-rises are working inside your ranch home’s attic, and we stock common replacement components locally so a damaged flex duct or corroded boot doesn’t turn into a two-week wait. If your system needs more than cleaning, we also handle Duct Sealing in Lochmoor Waterway Estates to close gaps that let that salt-heavy air bypass your filter entirely.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Lochmoor Waterway Estates Homes
- Corroded metal ductwork from salt-laden intake air. Homes with return vents facing the canal draw in air heavy with salt spray, especially after storms. We find rust flaking inside metal trunk lines that inland homes simply don’t experience, and cleaning includes assessment for replacement before the corrosion breaches the duct wall.
- Mold and mildew in attic flex duct from constant humidity. The subtropical climate keeps attic spaces above dew point for months, and original flex duct from the 1980s often lacks adequate insulation. Condensation forms on the exterior, soaks into the fiberglass liner, and creates a musty smell that circulates through every room.
- Rodent and insect damage in garage and soffit runs. Concrete block construction leaves gaps where utilities enter, and the warm, protected ductwork in garages attracts pests. We regularly find chewed flex duct and nesting material blocking airflow to back bedrooms.
- Stagnant condensation after hurricane-season power outages. When storms knock out power for days, attic temperatures spike and residual moisture in the system has nowhere to go. Homeowners return to a system that smells like a wet dog and circulates microbial spores until the ductwork is properly cleaned and treated.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Lochmoor Waterway Estates, FL
Here’s what honest pricing looks like in this market. A typical residential full-system cleaning in Lochmoor Waterway Estates runs $350 – $650 for a single-story home with 8 – 15 vents and standard attic access. Larger homes with multiple zones or hard-to-reach ductwork in tight soffits can edge toward $800. Commercial and multi-unit properties generally fall in the $800 – $1,400 range depending on square footage and system complexity.
What moves the number: system size, accessibility (crawl space versus walk-in attic), contamination level (light dust versus heavy mold requiring antimicrobial treatment), and whether we find damaged ductwork that needs repair or sealing before cleaning is worthwhile.
We don’t do per-vent teaser pricing that balloons once the technician is inside. We don’t do coupons that expire before you can schedule. The price is written down before any work starts, and it does not move at the door. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate. We’ll ask about your home’s size, vent count, and any symptoms you’ve noticed, then give you a range you can plan around.
