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 Waxahachie
Air duct cleaning in Waxahachie typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system, and most jobs are scheduled within a few days of your call. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and our crews serve Waxahachie from our Dallas-Fort Worth dispatch office. That means we know the difference between a historic home off West Main with original galvanized ducts and a new build on the east side with flex duct buried above engineered joists. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
We’ve been in business since 2004, and our Air Duct Cleaning team has handled everything from courthouse-square bungalows to apartment complexes along Highway 287. Waxahachie’s split personality, old Texas charm on one side, rapid suburban growth on the other, demands technicians who adjust their approach to the house in front of them. We don’t run the same vacuum on every job.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Waxahachie’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Waxahachie homeowners know the difference between a crew that shows up prepared and one that wings it. Our technicians arrive uniformed, background-checked, and equipped for your specific duct type, whether that’s fragile galvanized steel near the Ellis County Courthouse or modern flex duct in a new subdivision off FM 66.
Our 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. When you call (361) 326-5060, you talk to a human who can book your appointment and answer questions about what to expect.
Every job gets a written price before any work starts. The number on the page is the number at the door. No per-vent add-ons, no “we found a surprise” upsells. And every repair is backed by 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.
We understand Waxahachie’s local conditions. The hot, humid summers mean HVAC systems run almost year-round, circulating dust, pollen, and mold spores. High humidity encourages mold growth inside ducts, especially in older homes with leaky systems. Our crews know what to look for and how to address it.
Air Duct Inspection in Waxahachie
Air Duct Inspection in Waxahachie is where we start every job, because guessing about duct condition in this city is a mistake. We run a camera through your supply and return runs to document what we’re dealing with: rust scale in galvanized ducts downtown, construction debris in new flex duct on the east side, or mold colonies encouraged by Ellis County humidity. A typical inspection runs $150 – $250 and includes a written report with video stills.
What the Camera Reveals
Camera inspection shows cracks, disconnections, rodent debris, and crushed runs that a basic vent cleaning would miss. In Waxahachie’s historic district, we regularly find floor grates that have dropped debris into ducts for decades. In newer homes, we find flex duct pinched by improper installation above engineered joists.
When to Schedule
Book an inspection if you smell musty odors when the blower starts, see dust puffing from registers, or your energy bills have climbed without explanation. After major renovation, inspection is essential, construction dust settles in ductwork and circulates for months if not removed.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Waxahachie
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Waxahachie means different work depending on which side of town we’re on. Near the courthouse square, we’re often cleaning, and sometimes gently repairing, original galvanized or transite ducts never designed for forced-air cooling. On the east and south sides, we’re source-removing construction dust and allergens from tight, energy-efficient flex duct systems. A full residential cleaning in Waxahachie runs $350 – $650 for most homes, with larger or more complex systems reaching $800 – $1,200.
Historic Home Protocol
Galvanized ducts from the 1920s – 1940s require controlled negative pressure and soft agitation, not aggressive brushing. Our Nikro tools and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration let us remove debris without collapsing fragile seams. We treat these systems like the aged infrastructure they are.
New Construction Cleaning
Modern flex duct and tight building envelopes trap allergens and construction residue. Our Rotobrush rotary systems and negative-air machines reach through the entire run, not just the vent opening. We verify completeness with post-cleaning camera inspection.
Trusted Brands We Service in Waxahachie
We clean ductwork connected to every major HVAC brand, and we stock filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman for Waxahachie homeowners who want to maintain results after we’re gone. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for controlled debris removal, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration to protect your home’s air during cleaning. These are the same tools commercial crews use, not hardware-store gear. When we finish a job in Waxahachie, we can install the right filtration upgrade for your specific system, same day.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Waxahachie Homes
- Historic galvanized duct collapse. Crews using standard vacuums on fragile, rusted seams in courthouse-district homes crack the metal instead of gently source-removing debris under controlled negative pressure. We see this damage on follow-up calls after bargain cleanings.
- Missed flex duct damage in new construction. Tight east- and south-side homes with engineered joists often have crushed or disconnected flex runs buried above the ceiling. Techs who skip camera inspection never find them, leaving homeowners with reduced airflow and higher bills.
- Shared dryer-vent stack neglect. Downtown Waxahachie apartments and condos have dryer vents running through shared walls to exterior exits. Most crews clean only the lint trap area, never touching the real fire hazard: lint packed through the shared run to the outside wall.
- Mold growth from humidity. Waxahachie’s mid-90s summer highs and persistent humidity create ideal conditions for mold inside leaky duct systems, especially in older homes where duct sealing has failed. Cleaning without addressing the moisture source means mold returns within months.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Waxahachie
Historic homes use original galvanized or transite ducts built for gravity floor grates, not forced-air AC. These materials are brittle, rusted, and often held together with failing seams. Aggressive cleaning collapses them. New east-side builds use flex duct and engineered joists that require camera inspection and careful navigation to avoid crushing. We adjust our equipment and technique to the house, not the other way around. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss your specific home.
Yes. We’ve handled downtown apartments with street-only parking and shared HVAC and dryer-vent infrastructure. For shared dryer-vent stacks, we clean the full run from each unit to the exterior wall, not just the trap. We coordinate with building management for access and schedule around your building’s parking constraints. Call (361) 326-5060 to arrange a building walk-through.
Waxahachie’s hot, humid summers, average highs in the mid-90s, and mild winters mean HVAC systems run nearly year-round, constantly circulating air through ductwork. The humidity encourages mold growth inside ducts, especially where older systems have air leaks that draw in attic or crawl-space moisture. We regularly find active mold colonies in Waxahachie ducts that homeowners didn’t know existed until camera inspection. Call (361) 326-5060 if you smell musty odors on system startup.
Yes. A complete cleaning includes the air handler cabinet, blower wheel, and evaporator coil if accessible. Debris that bypasses filtration collects on the blower and coil, reducing efficiency and recirculating into cleaned ducts. We document condition with photos and include any concerns in your written report. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for debris removal, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration to protect indoor air during cleaning. Our methods follow NADCA guidelines for source removal: we agitate and extract debris at the point of contact rather than pushing it deeper into the system. We can explain our process step by step when we arrive. Call (361) 326-5060 for details.
