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.
Air Duct Cleaning Company in Croydon, PA
Full-system air duct cleaning in Croydon typically runs $450 – $850 for a single-family home, with dryer vent cleaning at $150 – $275 and duct sealing at $600 – $1,200 depending on accessibility and system size. What drives the real cost in Croydon isn’t square footage alone, it’s the condition of the ductwork itself. Many homes here were built on former farmland and riverfront industrial land, then heated by oil or coal before forced-air conversion, so we’re often clearing out decades of heating-oil soot, coal dust, and residual fly ash that newer developments simply don’t have. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family and operating under The Garrison Standard since 2004. Our crews serve Croydon from our Philadelphia office, bringing Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and the same filtration products commercial crews use. Every job gets a written price upfront and 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.
Why Croydon Homes Are Different
Croydon’s housing stock is dominated by post-WWII single-family homes and some early-1900s rowhouses, many with original sheet-metal ductwork from the 1940s through the 1960s that has never been cleaned or was poorly retrofitted for central air. When oil and coal furnaces were swapped for forced-air systems, contractors often reused the same duct runs rather than replacing them. That means we’re not dealing with ordinary household dust, we’re pulling out layered sediment from heating-oil combustion, coal dust, and in some cases fly ash that has settled over half a century.
The humid Delaware River Valley summers and cold winters keep HVAC systems running hard year-round, accelerating buildup. After Hurricane Ida in 2021, flooding pulled moisture and mold spores into ductwork across lower-lying areas, and we’ve seen recurring post-flood cleaning requests since. In older sections near the river and the former Croydon landfill, technicians regularly find duct runs installed around old coal chutes and cleanouts still visible in basements. Those chutes act as pathways for debris and pests, so cleaning sometimes requires sealing them off completely to prevent recontamination.
Our Main Croydon Services
Most Croydon homeowners call us for one of these three jobs, each handled with written pricing and background-checked, uniformed technicians.
Air Duct Cleaning in Croydon
We clean the full supply and return duct network using a Rotobrush rotary brush system to agitate debris from duct walls, paired with negative-air extraction to pull it out of the home. In Croydon, this often means extended brush passes through ductwork narrowed by soot compaction, especially in homes near the river where coal chutes created irregular joints. We photograph the before and after so you see what came out. Air Duct Cleaning in Croydon covers full-system pricing and what to expect on the day.

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Croydon
Dryer vents in Croydon’s older homes frequently run through walls with original 4-inch rigid ducting that has separated at joints or sagged, trapping lint in low spots. We use rotary brushes and high-velocity air tools to clear the full run from appliance to termination, then check airflow with a meter. Blocked dryer vents are a leading cause of house fires, and in homes with decades of accumulated lint, this is not a job to defer. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Croydon has full details on our process.

Duct Sealing in Croydon
Croydon’s original sheet-metal ductwork was joined with tape and mastic that has dried, cracked, or been disturbed by retrofit work. We seal accessible joints with duct sealing mastic rated for HVAC use, then pressure-test the system to verify improvement. This matters especially in homes where leaky returns pull basement air, including residual particulates from old heating systems, back into living spaces. Duct Sealing in Croydon explains when sealing makes sense versus replacement.
