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 Pflugerville typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system, and most jobs are scheduled within a few business days with a written price locked in before we start. We’re the Pflugerville crew from Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we know this city’s housing stock inside out, from the 1980s tract homes in Windermere to the newer builds in Falcon Pointe and Blackhawk. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Austin office, but our technicians live and work in this area, so we understand what Pflugerville’s clay soil, brutal attic heat, and freeze-thaw cycles do to ductwork. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Pflugerville’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our Air Duct Cleaning team serves Pflugerville under The Garrison Standard: arrive inside the quoted window, price in writing, complete the job by the book, and leave the site clean. That standard matters here because Pflugerville’s rapid growth has attracted plenty of coupon-driven operators who quote $99 over the phone and invoice triple that at the door. We don’t work that way. The price we write down before any work starts is the price you pay.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and we send their photo and name before they arrive. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, not a voicemail loop. Every job carries our 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. That’s written on every invoice, not implied.
We know Pflugerville’s neighborhoods. We’ve cleaned ducts in Highland Park homes built in the 1990s, found collapsed flex runs in Windermere attics, and performed Duct Sealing - Pflugerville on new construction ductwork in Blackhawk before the first summer heat wave hit. That local pattern recognition means we diagnose faster and fix it right the first time.
Air Duct Repair in Pflugerville
Air Duct Repair in Pflugerville is often the real work hiding behind a “cleaning” call, especially in older subdivisions where clay-soil foundation movement has separated or crushed original duct runs. Most Pflugerville homeowners need repair when rooms won’t hold temperature, utility bills spike without explanation, or they feel weak airflow at vents that used to blow strong. A typical repair in Pflugerville runs $180 – $450 depending on how many runs are damaged and whether we need to replace sections of flexible duct or just reattach and seal at the collar.
Crushed and Disconnected Runs
In Windermere and Highland Park, we regularly pull back attic insulation to find 1980s flex duct that has collapsed or separated from the supply plenum. Foundation movement on Pflugerville’s heavy clay soil shifts the framing, and the ductwork, strapped loosely to joists, tears at the connections. Cleaning a disconnected run is pointless until it’s reattached and sealed with mastic. We use a Rotobrush rotary system for agitation only after the mechanical repair is done.
Sealant Failure at Joints
Freeze-thaw cycles, especially after Winter Storm Uri, crack duct sealants at plenum connections and wye joints. We remove the old mastic or foil tape, clean the joint surface, and reseal with fresh mastic rated for high-static systems. A leaking joint in a 140°F Pflugerville attic pulls in dust and insulation fibers every time the blower cycles.
Ductwork Cleaning in Pflugerville
Ductwork Cleaning in Pflugerville means more than blowing compressed air through vents. We use a negative-air method with HEPA filtration, agitating debris from the duct walls with a Rotobrush rotary system while a Nikro negative-air machine maintains suction at the trunk line. This prevents the dust cloud that cheaper methods leave behind. A typical whole-system cleaning in Pflugerville runs $350 – $650 for a single HVAC system, with larger homes or dual systems running higher.
What the Process Covers
We clean supply ducts, return ducts, and the main trunk lines. In Pflugerville’s 1980s – 2000s homes, we often find decades of construction debris, pet dander, and degraded insulation fragments. Our process captures this material at the source rather than pushing it into your living space. We finish with a video inspection so you see the before and after.
When to Schedule
Schedule ductwork cleaning if it’s been more than five years, you’ve completed renovations, or you notice dust settling on furniture within days of cleaning. In Pflugerville’s newer subdivisions like Falcon Pointe, we also clean post-construction drywall dust that builders rarely fully remove.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pflugerville
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation cleaning, Nikro negative-air machines for debris containment, and filtration products from Honeywell and Guardsman. We stock common duct repair materials locally, so a Pflugerville homeowner isn’t waiting on a parts order when a collar fails or a run needs replacement. For homes with whole-house filtration, we can assess your current setup and recommend compatible upgrades from Aprilaire or Abatement Technologies if your system supports them. We don’t sell equipment you don’t need, but we do explain what each component does and why it matters for the air moving through your Pflugerville home.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Pflugerville Homes
- Collapsed flex runs in Windermere attics. Original 1980s flexible ductwork, already brittle from decades of 140°F+ attic heat, separates at the collar or crushes under shifting insulation. We find this in roughly half the older homes we inspect in this neighborhood.
- Sealant cracks from freeze-thaw cycles. Winter Storm Uri and subsequent cold snaps opened gaps at plenum connections that Pflugerville homeowners didn’t notice until summer, when the system pulled 140°F attic air through those leaks instead of conditioned air.
- Degraded duct insulation bleeding fibers. Attic heat breaks down the vapor barrier on older flex duct, releasing insulation particles into the airstream. Cleaning removes the debris, but damaged insulation needs replacement to prevent recurrence.
- New construction debris in Falcon Pointe and Blackhawk. Drywall dust, wood scraps, and packaging materials often remain in ductwork after builder turnover. We clean this out before the first full cooling season strains a system already working against Pflugerville’s heat.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Pflugerville
Pflugerville’s heavy clay soil and high water table cause foundation movement that separates and crushes duct runs far more often than in Austin’s limestone-heavy west side, so local duct cleaning almost always pairs with reconnect and reseal work. In 1980s neighborhoods like Windermere, original flexible ductwork has often collapsed into the attic insulation after decades of 140°F+ attic heat. We inspect every system with a camera before quoting, so you know whether you’re looking at cleaning alone or cleaning plus repair. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote.
Attic temperatures over 140°F degrade duct insulation and make older flex brittle, causing tears that pull in attic dust and insulation fibers during agitation. We account for this by running our Nikro negative-air machine at higher suction rates and checking insulation integrity before we start. If the flex is too degraded, we’ll tell you before we touch it. Replacement beats cleaning when the material itself is failing.
Yes, our process adheres to NADCA guidelines for source removal: mechanical agitation of debris, negative-air containment, and HEPA filtration on exhaust. We document the work with before-and-after photos or video. The Garrison Standard requires completing the job by the book, and NADCA’s source-removal protocol is the book we follow.
Most Pflugerville homes run best with MERV 8 – 11 filters, balancing particle capture with airflow. Higher MERV ratings restrict airflow in systems not designed for them, which is common in 1980s – 1990s Pflugerville construction. We check your system’s static pressure tolerance and recommend accordingly. A clean duct system with the right filter outperforms a restricted system with an overspecified one.
Probably not, at least not cleaning alone. In Windermere, we pulled up to a 1984 tract house where the homeowner said two back bedrooms never cooled. After a camera inspection and negative pressure setup, we found the original flexible run to the rear supply had cracked at the collar and collapsed into the insulation. We removed the failed section, reattached and sealed the run, and then cleaned the supply and return ducts with agitation tools and HEPA filtration. The rear rooms finally hit temperature within a few days of the repair. If you’ve got a temperature imbalance, call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll diagnose whether it’s a repair, a cleaning, or both.
