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.

Our dispatch is coordinated from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, but crews serve Addison directly. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Addison’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Addison’s housing stock is different from Carrollton’s or Plano’s, and we’ve learned that the hard way over years of calls. Most residents here live in apartments, condos, and townhomes built between the 1970s and 2000s, with compact, vertical ductwork shared between units. That matters because a clogged vent in one unit can back pressure into neighbors, and HOAs often don’t know which vendor has actually accessed the chase.
We’ve built a local reputation by showing up inside our window, pricing in writing, and leaving the site clean – The Garrison Standard, not a slogan. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed; you know who’s walking in before they arrive. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every job: if the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That’s written on every invoice, not implied.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Addison
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company work in Addison means dealing with vertical runs, shared chases, and HOA access rules that suburban single-family crews rarely encounter. Most Addison residents live in stacked condos and townhomes built between the 1970s and 2000s, so dryer vents here are usually long, shared, or routed through common walls. A clog is rarely just a homeowner problem; it’s an HOA-coordination and chase-access problem you don’t see in Addison-adjacent neighborhoods like the single-family streets of Carrollton or Plano.
A standard residential dryer vent cleaning in Addison runs $150 – $220. If we find a crushed or disconnected transition behind the wall, re-securing and resealing adds $60 – $100. For mid-rise buildings with rooftop terminations or bird guard installation, expect $220 – $280. We price it before we touch it.
What the Job Covers
We disconnect the dryer, inspect the transition duct with a camera, agitate and extract lint from the full run using a rotary brush system, then verify airflow and reseal all joints. For Addison’s vertical shared runs, we coordinate roof or chase access and document everything for HOA records if needed.
When to Schedule
Annual cleaning is the baseline for Addison condos. But if your dryer takes two cycles, the laundry room feels humid, or you smell burning lint, call now. Addison’s humid subtropical climate means air conditioning runs heavily from May to October, driving condensation inside ductwork and making mold growth a year-round concern.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Addison
Dryer Vent Inspection in Addison is often the step that saves a homeowner from replacing a dryer that isn’t actually broken. Because most Addison residents live in stacked condos and townhomes built between the 1970s and 2000s, dryer vents here are usually vertical, long, and shared or routed through common walls. A clog is rarely just a homeowner problem; it’s an HOA-coordination and chase-access problem you don’t see in suburban Addison-adjacent single-family neighborhoods.
We got a call from a homeowner in the Bent Tree area whose dryer was taking two full cycles to dry a load and the laundry room was running hot; when our tech pulled the vent line, we found a crushed, disconnected run behind the wall where the original builder had kinked it, plus years of packed lint in the vertical chase. We ran a camera inspection, removed the source-blocked lint, re-secured the sagging transition, and resealed the joint to the exterior hood – the homeowner called back two days later to say the dryer finally finished in one cycle.
An inspection in Addison runs $89 – $129, applied toward cleaning if you proceed. For mid-rise or commercial buildings along Belt Line Road, $129 – $189.
Camera Diagnostics
We feed a borescope through the full run to locate blockages, measure lint depth, and identify crushed or disconnected sections behind finished walls. In Addison’s older buildings, we regularly find original builder installs where the transition was kinked to fit a tight chase and never corrected.
Documentation for HOAs
Shared-wall properties need records. We provide dated photo documentation, airflow readings before and after, and written findings for HOA maintenance files. Many Addison HOAs require this for insurance or fire-code compliance.
Trusted Brands We Service in Addison
We carry parts and accessories from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman, plus professional-grade cleaning equipment from Rotobrush. For Addison’s dense concentration of mid-rise buildings and restaurant exhaust systems, we stock bird guards, fire-rated vent caps, and replacement hoods sized for the compact chases common in 1980s and 1990s construction. Most replacement parts install same-visit; we don’t order-and-wait on a job we priced as complete.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Addison Homes
- Vertical, shared runs packed with lint. In Addison’s 1970s – 2000s condos and townhomes, the vent runs straight up through a common chase with multiple elbows. Homeowners clean the trap; the run stays blocked. We access the chase and extract lint the trap never reached.
- Crushed or disconnected transitions behind walls. Original builder installs in Addison’s older properties often kinked the flex duct to fit tight spaces. By the time the dryer overheats, the damage is hidden behind drywall. Our camera finds it without guessing.
- HOA access barriers leaving vents skipped for years. Many crews won’t coordinate with property managers or navigate shared-roof access rules. We handle the paperwork and the roof hatch, so the actual vent gets cleaned, not just the visible trap.
- Moisture intrusion from Addison’s heavy AC season. From May to October, condensation forms in cool ductwork while humid outside air seeps through compromised seals. Lint clumps wet, molds, and hardens. We remove it and reseal the penetration.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Addison
Vertical shared runs with multiple elbows trap lint at every turn, and most Addison condos built 1970s – 2000s have exactly that layout. In a single-family home, a short horizontal run to an exterior wall clears easily; your 20-foot vertical chase with three elbows does not. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll inspect the full run with a camera to show you exactly where the bottleneck is.
We access the chase from the roof termination, the basement utility room, or both, depending on the building layout. For shared systems, we coordinate with property management for roof hatch access and schedule around resident laundry patterns. Our rotary brush system agitates lint the full length while negative-air extraction pulls it out – we don’t just blow it around. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule – we’ll confirm access requirements when you book.
It’s almost always the vent. A heating element failure is rare; restricted airflow from lint blockage is common, especially in Addison’s long vertical runs. If the vent checks clear and airflow is strong, we’ll tell you honestly that the dryer needs an appliance tech. Our inspection finds the actual cause before you spend money on the wrong fix. Call (361) 326-5060 for a $89 – $129 inspection that applies toward cleaning.
Most don’t mandate a schedule for individual units, but fire codes and insurance policies for mid-rise buildings increasingly require documented annual cleaning of shared exhaust systems. We provide dated photo documentation, airflow readings, and written findings for HOA maintenance files. If your building has been skipping the chase for years, we can assess the backlog and quote remediation. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss documentation requirements.
An inspection diagnoses; cleaning fixes. We run a camera, measure airflow, and locate blockages or damage during inspection. If the run is clear and intact, you pay only for the inspection. If we find lint buildup, crushed sections, or disconnected joints, we quote the cleaning or repair before proceeding – the inspection fee applies to the work. In Addison’s older buildings, inspection almost always reveals something the homeowner couldn’t see. Call (361) 326-5060 to book either service.
