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.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Tamiami’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our Tamiami customers know the difference between a crew that vacuums dust and a crew that understands what this climate does to ductwork.

Our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops. No callback queues. When water’s in your ducts, you don’t wait until Monday.
Technicians follow The Garrison Code on every Tamiami job: arrive inside the window, price in writing, complete the work by the book, and leave the site clean. We use professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Honeywell – the same tools commercial crews use – and we explain what we’re doing in plain terms while we do it.
Air Duct Cleaning in Tamiami means knowing the local housing stock: 1970s – 1990s ranch-style and Mediterranean-revival homes with original flex duct in attics, tile and flat roofs, and ductwork routed through unconditioned spaces where condensation and pest intrusion are constant problems. We don’t learn this on the fly. We know it before we arrive.
Vent Cleaning in Tamiami
Vent Cleaning in Tamiami is often the first service homeowners request when they notice reduced airflow or a musty smell from their supply registers, but in this market it’s rarely just about dust buildup. Our vent cleaning service removes debris from individual supply and return vents, checks for proper airflow balance, and identifies whether the problem stops at the register or extends deeper into the duct system. In Tamiami, vent cleaning typically runs $150 – $280 for a standard home with 8 – 12 vents, though we always inspect first because vent symptoms here often point to moisture issues upstream.
Supply Vent Focus
Supply vents push conditioned air into your rooms, and when they’re clogged with debris or partially blocked by degraded flex duct in the attic, you’ll feel it as weak airflow or uneven cooling. We remove each register, clean the boot and first few feet of duct, and measure airflow before and after.
Return Vent Inspection
Return vents pull air back to the handler, and in Tamiami’s older homes they’re often undersized or located in hallways where humidity concentrates. We check for filter bypass, duct leakage at the return plenum, and signs of microbial growth that standard dust cleaning won’t address.
Air Duct Repair in Tamiami
Air Duct Repair in Tamiami becomes necessary when flex duct insulation has degraded from years of attic heat, when storm water has saturated ductwork beyond cleaning, or when disconnected runs are leaking conditioned air into unconditioned spaces. Our repair service includes camera inspection, moisture documentation, targeted replacement of damaged sections, and full system testing. Air duct repair in Tamiami typically ranges from $400 – $1,200 depending on accessibility and the extent of replacement needed, with full system replacements for water-damaged homes running higher.
Storm Damage Assessment
After water intrusion, we run a video inspection and take moisture readings before touching anything. Cleanable dampness gets dried under negative pressure with HEPA filtration. Saturated flex duct with wet insulation gets replaced. We document both so your insurer knows which is which.
Attic Flex Duct Replacement
Tamiami’s original flex duct from the 1980s and 1990s is often brittle, torn, or separated at the collar. We replace damaged runs with new insulated flex or rigid duct where appropriate, seal all connections with mastic, and test for leakage before we leave.
Trusted Brands We Service in Tamiami
We stock parts and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies for Tamiami customers, which means faster turnaround on repairs and replacements without waiting on supply-house orders. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation of duct walls and Nikro negative-air machines that maintain containment during cleaning. When we recommend a filtration upgrade after your cleaning, we’re talking about products we’ve installed in local homes and stand behind under our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Tamiami Homes
- Post-storm water in attic duct pans. Tamiami’s flat lots and high water table can’t drain fast enough during summer downpours, so water backs into attic spaces and collects around air handlers. We find this the day after every major rain, and standard dust cleaning without a moisture check misses it completely.
- Condensation-soaked flex duct in unconditioned attics. Original flex duct in 1970s – 1990s homes has degraded insulation that lets warm attic air meet cold conditioned air, creating persistent moisture. The duct looks fine from the outside until we run a camera or feel the saturation.
- Mold and mildew in supply runs after humidity spikes. Hurricane-season power outages shut down AC systems for hours or days, and when they restart, the sudden humidity spike has already fostered growth in dark ductwork. Homeowners smell it before they see it.
- Pest intrusion through degraded duct seals. Attic temperatures and humidity in Tamiami soften mastic and tape over time, creating entry points for rodents and insects that leave debris and bio-contamination we find during camera inspection.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Tamiami
If the flex duct insulation is dry to the touch and moisture readings stay below 16%, we can typically clean and treat the system under negative pressure with HEPA filtration. If the insulation is saturated or crumbling, or if moisture readings exceed 16% after 24 hours of drying, the affected sections need replacement to prevent mold recurrence and satisfy insurance documentation. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll run a camera inspection with moisture readings to give you a definitive answer.
Tamiami’s flat lots and high water table mean heavy rain can’t drain quickly enough, so water backs into attic duct pans and around air handler platforms where it sits overnight. By morning, that moisture has fostered microbial growth in warm ductwork, and your AC pushes the smell through every vent. We see this pattern predictably after every major summer downpour. The fix isn’t a deodorizer. It’s finding the water, documenting it, and either drying or replacing what’s wet.
Yes. In Tamiami’s subtropical climate, a duct cleaning without moisture assessment is incomplete. The high water table, frequent downpours, and year-round humidity mean condensation and microbial growth are constant threats in slab-on-grade homes with attic ductwork. We include moisture checks on every job, and antimicrobial treatment is standard when readings or visual inspection indicate need, not an upsell. This step is optional in drier cities. Here, it’s essential.
Only if the documentation includes dated before-and-after photos, moisture meter readings with specific percentages, video inspection footage showing the extent of water contact, and a written scope distinguishing cleanable areas from replaced sections. We format all of this on every storm-damage job because we’ve seen insurers deny claims that lack technical documentation. The receipt alone isn’t enough. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers our work; the documentation package helps your claim.
Even tropical storms and near-misses cause power outages that shut down AC systems for hours or days, letting humidity spike inside ductwork. When power returns, the system restarts and circulates that moist air, often spreading musty odors and microbial spores before homeowners realize there’s a problem. We recommend a post-outage inspection if you smell anything unusual, because early intervention prevents the spread that makes full replacement necessary.
