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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across South Bay
Air duct cleaning in South Bay, FL typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and is scheduled within a few business days, with our Miami office coordinating dispatch to your neighborhood. We serve South Bay homeowners from the lakeshore near Lake Okeechobee out to the older blocks off US-27, where humidity from the lake pushes mold and mildew deep into duct systems that were never designed for this kind of moisture load. Our crews know the difference between a standard dust removal job and the biological remediation that South Bay’s tropical monsoon climate often demands. If your vents smell musty after the rainy season, that’s not normal, and it’s not something a deodorizing spray fixes. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate and we’ll show you exactly what your system looks like inside.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is South Bay’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in South Bay the same way we have across South Florida: by showing up inside the window, pricing the job in writing before we touch anything, and leaving the site clean. Roy Castellanos and our team have handled enough jobs near the lake to know that a homeowner on Southwest 16th Street faces different duct conditions than someone in a newer Wellington subdivision, and we adjust our approach accordingly.
Our customers in South Bay mention the same things in feedback: the technician arrived when promised, explained what the video inspection showed, and the final price matched the written quote. No per-vent add-ons, no upsell once the equipment was running.
Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami office, but the crew that arrives at your South Bay home is local to the area and carries the full Hollis equipment roster, including Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines. Response time to South Bay is typically same-week, and our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you’re not waiting through a callback queue when humidity has your system smelling like a swamp.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in South Bay
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in South Bay covers office buildings, small retail spaces, multifamily properties, and agricultural support facilities where dust loads and humidity create a different maintenance profile than residential systems. A typical commercial duct cleaning in South Bay runs $800 – $2,500 depending on square footage, system accessibility, and whether mold remediation is required after the rainy season. We schedule these jobs to minimize disruption to your operation, and every commercial project receives the same written price guarantee and 365-Day Done Right Promise that our residential customers get.
Multifamily and Rental Properties
Many South Bay rental units sit in older concrete-block buildings where shared duct runs and aging insulation create cross-unit contamination. We clean supply and return lines separately, document conditions with video, and provide written reports landlords can use for tenant communication or insurance purposes.
Small Business and Retail Spaces
Retail spaces near US-27 and the main commercial strip in South Bay often run HVAC systems hard during summer months when humidity peaks. Our commercial crews use Nikro negative-air equipment to contain debris during cleaning, so your floors and merchandise stay clean while we work.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in South Bay
Air Duct Cleaning Services in South Bay address the full range of what lake-adjacent humidity does to residential ductwork: mold growth, dust compaction, musty odors, and reduced airflow from biological buildup. A typical whole-home cleaning in South Bay runs $350 – $650, with return duct cleaning, supply duct cleaning, or full system cleaning priced individually so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Every job starts with a video inspection, and the price is written down before any work begins.
Residential Duct Cleaning
Homes in South Bay’s older neighborhoods, many built during the sugar-mill era with original or retrofitted ductwork, need more than a surface cleaning. Our rotary brush systems from Rotobrush agitate debris from duct walls while negative-air machines pull it out of your home entirely, not just redistribute it.
Video Inspection and Targeted Cleaning
We feed a camera through your system before and after cleaning so you see what we see. In South Bay, we’re often showing homeowners condensation pooling in low spots of unsealed duct runs, or mold colonies that explain why the bedroom vents smell different from the living room. This is how you know the work was actually done, and done right.

Trusted Brands We Service in South Bay
Our equipment comes from manufacturers that commercial crews rely on: Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for containment and extraction, and filtration products from Aprilaire and Abatement Technologies to protect your indoor air after we’ve left. We stock parts and filters for these brands locally, which means if your South Bay home needs a filtration upgrade after cleaning, we’re not ordering components from across the state and making you wait. Guardsman protective products round out our kit for jobs where mold or heavy debris requires extra containment. Every technician is trained on this specific equipment, and we explain what each piece does while we’re in your home, so you understand why we’re using it on your system.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in South Bay Homes
- Post-rainy-season mold blooms. From May through October, South Bay’s tropical monsoon climate dumps humidity straight off Lake Okeechobee into homes with unsealed or poorly insulated ducts. We regularly find active mold in return plenums that homeowners mistook for “just a musty smell.”
- Sugar-mill-era ductwork with no vapor barrier. Homes built during mid-20th century construction booms often have metal duct runs wrapped in degraded insulation that traps moisture against the duct wall. Cleaning alone doesn’t solve this; we often recommend Duct Sealing in South Bay as the follow-up.
- Slab-foundation moisture wicking into crawlspace ducts. Many South Bay homes sit on concrete slabs or short crawlspaces where ground moisture meets aging flex duct. The result is collapsed or sagging runs that restrict airflow and harbor biological growth.
- Dryer vent congestion compounding the problem. When dryer exhaust vents share chase space with HVAC ductwork, lint and moisture create a double load. We also handle Dryer Vent Cleaning in South Bay to eliminate this cross-contamination risk.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in South Bay, FL
Whole-home air duct cleaning in South Bay typically runs $350 – $650 for a standard residential system, with commercial jobs starting around $800 and scaling to $2,500 for larger or more complex setups. What moves you within that range: the number of HVAC units, whether mold remediation is required, accessibility of duct runs in crawlspaces or attics, and whether you add Duct Sealing in South Bay or filtration upgrades.
We do not quote per-vent pricing. That model is how bait-and-switch operators get their foot in the door with a low teaser rate, then multiply it across twenty registers. Hollis gives one flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts, and that price does not move at the door. You’ll see before-and-after video of your own ducts, not stock photos from someone else’s job. Free estimates are available by calling (361) 326-5060, and we’ll tell you honestly if your system needs cleaning, sealing, or both.
