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.

We’ve been cleaning ducts in Pompano Beach long enough to know the local housing stock inside and out. The 1950s and 1960s concrete-block ranches near the ocean have original flex duct that’s often deteriorated or crushed behind soffits. Newer townhomes inland have tighter ductwork, but the same humidity that makes Pompano Beach pleasant also traps moisture inside those sealed systems. Our Air Duct Cleaning team doesn’t just vacuum dust; we find the disconnected runs, corroded seams, and mildew colonization that are specific to this coastal environment, then we seal and treat so the problem stays solved.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Pompano Beach’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, operates under The Garrison Standard: written prices, written guarantees, and technicians who arrive inside the quoted window wearing a uniform you can verify. In Pompano Beach, that standard matters because too many homeowners have watched a low teaser price double once the van was in the driveway. We don’t work that way. The price is written down before we touch your system, and it doesn’t move at the door.
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. That promise is backed by background-checked, uniformed technicians and equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies – the same tools commercial crews use on larger jobs. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you’re not waiting through voicemail loops when you need to schedule or ask a follow-up question.
We know the difference between a beachside condo on Ocean Boulevard and a ranch home off NE 14th Street. The salt film inside coastal ductwork, the corroded metal seams in older trunk lines, the crushed flex runs hidden behind soffits – these aren’t theoretical problems for us. We document what we find with before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not stock images, so you can see the work was actually done.
Air Duct Inspection in Pompano Beach
Air Duct Inspection in Pompano Beach is where we start every job, because in this climate, what you can’t see costs you the most. Our technician runs a video camera through your supply and return lines to document disconnected runs, corrosion at metal seams, mildew on duct liners, and salt-film buildup that ordinary dusting won’t reveal. A residential inspection runs $150 – $250; commercial systems start around $300 depending on square footage and access points. You’re not obligated to proceed with cleaning, and we show you the footage before quoting any further work.
What We Document on Camera
The video tells the real story. In Pompano Beach homes, we regularly find flex duct that has separated from the plenum collar, allowing the air handler to pull hot attic air instead of conditioned return air. We also document corrosion at galvanized seam joints where salt air has eaten through the metal over decades. You see exactly what we see, and we explain what it means for your system’s efficiency and your indoor air before you decide on next steps.
When to Schedule an Inspection
Schedule an inspection if your energy bills have climbed without explanation, if rooms furthest from the air handler never cool evenly, or if you smell mustiness when the blower cycles on. In Pompano Beach’s humid subtropical climate, these symptoms often point to duct leakage or microbial growth that a standard filter change won’t fix. The inspection gives us the map we need to quote honest, line-item pricing for whatever we find.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Pompano Beach
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Pompano Beach means source removal with the right tools for coastal conditions, not a shop-vac pushed into a register. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems to agitate debris off duct walls, paired with Nikro negative-air machines that maintain HEPA filtration and suction so nothing escapes into your living space. A typical single-family home runs $350 – $650; larger homes or systems with heavy contamination can reach $850 – $1,200. Every price is written before work starts, and every job includes before-and-after photo documentation.
Beachside Condos and Salt-Film Removal
In Pompano Beach’s beachside condos, salt-laden ocean air leaves a fine film inside ductwork that makes household dust cling into a sticky residue. Ordinary vacuuming can’t pull it loose. We pre-treat with specialized cleaning solutions before any source removal begins, then follow with rotary agitation and negative-air extraction. Skip this step, and you’re just moving sticky dust around. We don’t skip steps.
Older Homes and Duct Sealing
The 1960s concrete-block ranches near the beach often need more than cleaning. Metal trunk lines corrode at seams from decades of salt air exposure, and separated flex runs behind soffits leak conditioned air into wall cavities. We seal those joints with mastic and replace crushed or deteriorated flex duct as needed. Cleaning alone leaves the leak and the moisture pathway open; sealing is often the real fix, and we price it separately so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pompano Beach
We stock filtration and cleaning products from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman for Pompano Beach customers, which means faster turnaround when your system needs a media upgrade or antimicrobial treatment after cleaning. Aprilaire whole-home filters handle the fine particulate that coastal humidity binds together; Abatement Technologies HEPA equipment is what we run during the job itself; Guardsman treatments address the mildew and microbial growth that Pompano Beach’s climate encourages. We don’t have to order parts and make you wait. The right equipment is on the van, and the technician knows how to match it to what your specific ductwork needs.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Pompano Beach Homes
- Crushed flex runs behind soffits. In older beachside homes, flex duct gets compressed during decades of maintenance work or renovation, blocking airflow and forcing the blower motor to overwork. A standard vacuum-only clean misses this entirely; we find it with video inspection and replace the run so air actually moves.
- Salt-film buildup in coastal condos. Ocean breezes carry microscopic salt particles that settle inside ductwork and bind dust into a sticky layer. Standard suction won’t remove it; our pre-treatment and rotary agitation break that bond so extraction actually works.
- Corroded metal seams on trunk lines. Galvanized steel ducts from the 1950s and 1960s corrode at joints where salt air penetrates. Those leaks pull humid attic air into the system, raising humidity indoors and promoting mildew. We seal with mastic after cleaning to close the pathway.
- Mildew re-colonization after incomplete cleaning. Pompano Beach’s humidity means mildew returns within weeks if a job skips antimicrobial treatment after source removal. We treat coil-side surfaces and duct liners with appropriate products so the growth cycle breaks, not just pauses.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Pompano Beach
Because the previous cleaning likely skipped antimicrobial treatment after source removal, or missed mildew growing on the coil and plenum surfaces upstream of the ducts. Pompano Beach’s humidity means microbial colonies re-establish within days if the root surfaces aren’t treated. We clean first, then treat the coil-side and liner surfaces with appropriate products so the smell stays gone. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll inspect to confirm where the growth is living.
Yes. Older ranches typically have galvanized steel trunk lines that corrode at seams from salt air, plus flex duct that has deteriorated or separated behind soffits. Newer townhomes use tighter ductwork, but that same tightness traps moisture if the system isn’t properly balanced. We approach each housing type with different inspection priorities and repair protocols. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll match the service to what your specific home needs.
Every 3 to 5 years for most Pompano Beach homes, sooner if you run the system year-round, have pets, or notice musty odors when the blower cycles on. The salt film and humidity accelerate contamination compared to drier inland climates, so waiting the national average of 5 to 7 years often means heavier buildup and more expensive remediation. Call (361) 326-5060 for a video inspection if you’re unsure where your system stands.
Yes, and we recommend it. Dryer vent cleaning is a separate service, but our technicians will inspect the vent run for blockage and proper termination while we’re on site. If it’s clogged with lint, we’ll quote the cleaning separately – no pressure, written price before we start – because a blocked dryer vent is a genuine fire hazard in humid climates where lint mats together with moisture. Call (361) 326-5060 to bundle both services.
Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro negative-air machines with HEPA filtration for source removal, and Abatement Technologies equipment for containment and air scrubbing during the job. For coastal salt-film buildup, we pre-treat with specialized cleaning solutions before mechanical agitation. This is professional-grade equipment, not hardware-store gear, and our technicians are trained on when each tool applies to your specific ductwork condition. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
