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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Burbank, CA
Hollis Air Duct Cleaning handles air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and duct sealing across Burbank. Burbank jobs are different because of the city’s unusual housing stock: thousands of 1940s-50s tract homes built for Lockheed and Disney workers, many still running original round galvanized ductwork, plus the Hollywood Burbank Airport loading return ducts with fine black jet-exhaust soot that standard cleaning alone won’t fully remove. We dispatch from our Los Angeles office and serve Burbank with background-checked, uniformed technicians and written upfront pricing on every job. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Burbank Homes Are Different
Burbank’s housing market is dominated by post-war single-story ranches and bungalows in Magnolia Park, the Rancho area, and along Burbank Boulevard. Many were built with gravity wall furnaces and later retrofitted with central air, leaving original galvanized steel trunk lines in place. Those round metal ducts collect decades of compacted dust differently than modern flex duct, and the seams leak more readily under the thermal stress of Burbank’s 100°F-plus summer days.
The Hollywood Burbank Airport flight path is the other factor. Jet exhaust produces fine black carbon particulate that settles on rooftops and gets drawn into attic-mounted air handlers and return plenums. During Santa Ana wind events, that soot blows through open windows and into floor-level returns that standard 1-inch filters never catch. We’ve pulled thick black residue from Burbank return trunks that homeowners assumed was ordinary household dust.
The Rancho and Victory corridor, plus hillside builds above Glenoaks, tend toward larger 1960s-70s homes with long horizontal duct runs under slab or in attic chases. Those runs are harder to access and more prone to separation at mastic joints cracked by decades of dry heat cycling.
Our Main Burbank Services
Most Burbank homeowners call us for one of these three jobs. Each has its own page with full pricing, process details, and neighborhood-specific notes.
Air Duct Cleaning in Burbank
We clean supply and return ductwork with Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines, pulling loosened debris out of the home rather than pushing it deeper into the system. In Burbank, we pay special attention to return trunks near the airport flight path, where jet soot bonds to galvanized metal and requires more contact time with the brush head. We photograph the before and after condition of your ducts so you see what came out. Air Duct Cleaning in Burbank
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Burbank
Dryer vent cleaning in Burbank runs into two common problems: older homes with long vent runs through 1950s wall framing that sag and trap lint, and multi-family buildings near the Media District with shared vertical risers that clog at the roof cap. We use rotary brush and high-velocity air tools to clear the full run, then verify airflow at the exterior termination. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Burbank
Duct Sealing in Burbank
Burbank’s dry Santa Ana winds and extreme summer heat crack mastic joints and dry out duct tape, pulling attic dust and unconditioned air into the system. We seal accessible duct seams with mastic and mechanical fasteners, then pressure-test to verify the seal holds. Homes with slab ductwork or long attic chases in the hillside areas above Glenoaks see the biggest improvement. Duct Sealing in Burbank

What pushes Burbank prices higher: original galvanized ductwork that needs more brush contact time, long attic or slab chases in hillside homes, and heavy jet-exhaust soot accumulation requiring return trunk deep cleaning. What keeps them predictable: we write the full price before touching equipment, and that number does not move at the door.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Burbank
Yes. The Hollywood Burbank Airport flight path deposits fine black carbon soot in return ducts that standard vacuum-and-brush work can miss.

Most Burbank HOAs do not restrict interior ductwork maintenance, but exterior dryer vent terminations and roof-mounted equipment may require notice. We provide written scope and insurance documentation on request. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll handle the paperwork.
Most Burbank appointments are available within three business days. We do not promise same-day dispatch, duct cleaning is a scheduled job that requires proper equipment loading and time allocation. Call (361) 326-5060 to check current openings.
