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 Alvin’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been serving Alvin since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, offering Air Duct Cleaning - Alvin, and we’ve learned the difference between a standard lint clog and the gray mat of rice-harvest chaff that builds up in vents here from September through November. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to The Garrison Standard: arrive inside the quoted window, price in writing, complete the job by the book, and leave the site clean. 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 means 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 job, not mentioned verbally and forgotten. We’ve cleaned vents on Hazel Street in Old Alvin, along Gordon Street near the historic downtown, and out on rural properties past the city limits where the run to the outbuilding measures forty feet. Each location taught us something about how Alvin’s particular mix of agricultural dust, Gulf humidity, and slab-foundation construction changes what a dryer vent needs.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alvin
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alvin covers laundromats, apartment complex laundry rooms, veterinary clinics, and any business running multiple dryer cycles daily. The buildup pattern differs from residential work: commercial systems move more lint volume faster, and the flex runs are often longer, with more elbows that trap debris. In Alvin, commercial jobs also contend with rice-harvest chaff drawn in through loading doors during peak season, which compounds standard lint accumulation. Typical commercial dryer vent cleaning in Alvin runs $275 – $450 per system, with multi-unit properties quoted per dryer bank.
Multi-Unit Properties and Turnover Schedules
Apartment complexes near Alvin’s center and along the Highway 35 corridor need vent cleaning coordinated with tenant turnover. We schedule around your laundry room hours, clean each run with camera verification, and provide written documentation for property management records. The price is set before we start; it does not move if we find an unexpected blockage.
Small Business and Restaurant Laundry Operations
Veterinary clinics, salons, and small restaurants in Alvin often run dryers harder than residential units but lack the maintenance budget of large commercial accounts. We size our equipment to the job, using Rotobrush rotary systems for shorter runs and Nikro negative-air machines for longer ductwork, and we explain what we’re doing in plain terms while we work.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Alvin
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Alvin means pulling the entire vent run from the dryer connection to the exterior cap, inspecting with a camera, and extracting lint, chaff, moisture, and any obstruction using professional-grade equipment. A standard residential job in Alvin costs $150 – $275. Rural properties with longer runs to outbuildings, or homes needing vent rerouting or bird guard installation, fall in the $225 – $400 range. We don’t quote per-vent teaser prices that balloon at the door. The price we write down is the price you pay.
Camera Inspection and Written Documentation
Every Dryer Vent Cleaning job includes before-and-after camera footage. You see what was in the vent before we touch it, and you see the clear passage after. In Alvin, where flood silt and mold can hide behind packed lint, this documentation matters. It’s your proof the work was done, and it’s our record that we did it right.
Vent Rerouting and Bird Guard Installation
Older Alvin farmhouses often have vents routed through attics or crawlspaces with improper slope, letting moisture pool instead of draining. We reroute to code-compliant exterior terminations and install bird guards that keep nesting material out without restricting airflow. Both services are priced in writing before work begins.
Trusted Brands We Service in Alvin
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation of packed lint and chaff, Nikro negative-air machines that pull debris out under controlled suction, and filtration and disinfection products from Guardsman for mold-prone vent runs. We stock common vent caps, bird guards, and transition hoses for Alvin’s prevalent mid-century ranch and farmhouse construction, so most repairs don’t require a second trip. When a hurricane has pushed water through a slab penetration and left silt behind, we have the extraction and disinfection capability to handle it in one visit.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Alvin Homes
- Rice-harvest chaff packing 3-inch flex runs. Older farmhouses around Alvin were built with undersized 3-inch flex duct that can’t pass the volume of lint plus wind-driven chaff during harvest season. The material mats into a dense gray plug that traps heat and moisture.
- Slab-foundation water intrusion after storms. After Hurricane Nicholas or any heavy tropical rain, we find water has entered through foundation penetrations and pooled in the vent run. The visible lint dries; the silt and mold stay behind and restrict airflow.
- Outbuilding dryers on long, uninsulated runs. Rural properties outside Alvin city limits often have workshop or barn dryers connected by forty-foot runs that are never cleaned. Lint accumulates for years until the dryer overheats and fails.
- Missing or damaged bird guards on older vents. Without a guard, starlings and sparrows nest in the termination cap, blocking airflow entirely. We replace the cap and install a proper guard during the cleaning.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alvin, TX
Standard residential dryer vent cleaning in Alvin runs $150 – $275. This covers a typical single-family home with a vent run up to 25 feet, camera inspection, and debris extraction. Rural properties with outbuilding dryers or runs exceeding 35 feet typically fall in the $225 – $400 range. Commercial laundry systems start at $275 and are quoted per system or per dryer bank.
What moves the price: run length, number of elbows, whether the vent needs rerouting for proper slope, bird guard or cap replacement, and flood-related remediation requiring disinfection.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alvin
Every 6 – 12 months, not the generic yearly recommendation. Rural properties near Alvin face higher lint loads from longer runs to outbuildings, plus rice-harvest chaff from September through November that suburban homes don’t see. If your dryer sits in a barn or workshop with an uninsulated 30-foot flex run, inspect it every six months and clean annually at minimum. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Yes. Alvin’s slab-foundation homes can take water through foundation penetrations during tropical storms and hurricanes, leaving silt and moisture in the vent run that standard lint cleaning won’t address. After any flooding event, the vent needs camera inspection and possible disinfection even if it appears to dry normally. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection.
We use a Rotobrush rotary system that mechanically scrubs the full diameter of the duct, paired with Nikro negative-air extraction that pulls debris out under controlled suction rather than blowing it into your laundry room or attic. Camera inspection before and after proves the passage is clear. A shop vac lacks the reach, the agitation, and the containment for a complete cleaning. Call (361) 326-5060 to see the difference.
The thermal overload is tripping because restricted airflow is causing excessive heat buildup. In Alvin, the restriction is often a packed mat of rice-harvest chaff and lint in an undersized flex run, or moisture from slab-foundation intrusion that’s compacted the debris. We camera-inspect to identify the cause, extract the blockage, and verify normal airflow before we leave. Call (361) 326-5060.
Yes. We clean laundromats, apartment laundry rooms, veterinary clinics, salons, and any commercial dryer system in Alvin. Commercial jobs are priced per system or per dryer bank, with work scheduled to minimize disruption to your operation. Written price before work starts, 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job. Call (361) 326-5060.
