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.
Fast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Atlanta
Dryer vent cleaning in Atlanta typically runs $150 – $275 for a standard residential job, with rerouting or cap replacement adding $200 – $450 depending on access and materials. Most cleanings take 60 – 90 minutes, and we schedule them from our Atlanta office so crews arrive inside the quoted window, not sometime between 8 and 5.
We serve homeowners from Grant Park and Kirkwood up through Smyrna, Mableton, and the northern crescent into Marietta and Austell. Atlanta’s mix of 1920s bungalows with original galvanized runs and 1990s – 2000s suburban homes with flex duct through hot attics means no two jobs are the same. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team arrives with Rotobrush agitation tools, Nikro negative-air machines, and HEPA filtration to handle both. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Atlanta’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Hollis has been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our Atlanta office dispatches background-checked, uniformed technicians who follow The Garrison Standard on every call. That means arriving inside the window, pricing in writing before touching anything, and leaving the site clean. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every dryer vent job in writing: if the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Atlanta homeowners call us because they’ve dealt with the alternative – crews who quote low over the phone, then discover “problems” that double the bill once the van is in the driveway. We don’t operate that way. The price you approve in writing is the price you pay. Our technicians carry equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and filtration brands including Aprilaire and Guardsman, the same tools commercial crews use, and they explain what they’re finding in plain terms while the camera inspection runs.
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 book a time.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Atlanta
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Atlanta addresses a specific hazard: lint accumulation inside the vent run between your dryer and its exterior termination. In this city, that hazard varies dramatically by housing era. Original galvanized pipe in Grant Park and Inman Park bungalows often exceeds manufacturer length limits and packs tight at elbows. Flex duct in 1990s Alpharetta and Roswell homes sags in unconditioned attics, creating low spots where lint dams up. Either way, restricted airflow forces your dryer to run longer, hotter, and less efficiently, while raising fire risk and wearing out the appliance prematurely.
A standard cleaning runs $150 – $275. If we find crushed pipe, improper routing, or a termination hood damaged by Atlanta’s summer storms and UV exposure, we’ll show you on camera and quote any additional work in writing before proceeding.
Camera Inspection and Lint Removal
We run a borescope camera through the full vent run before and after cleaning so you see what we’re seeing. For original galvanized runs with decades of compaction, we use Rotobrush rotary agitation tools to break up lint that a vacuum alone won’t dislodge, then extract it under negative pressure with HEPA containment so nothing settles in your laundry room or living space.
Termination Hood and Flapper Service
Atlanta’s humid summers and heavy pollen seasons coat termination hoods with a sticky film that jams flappers open or shut. We clean the hood, verify proper operation, and replace damaged caps with code-compliant models that keep pests and moisture out while letting lint exhaust freely.
Dryer Vent Installation in Atlanta
Dryer Vent Installation in Atlanta becomes necessary when original runs are too long, too damaged, or routed through unsafe locations like garages or crawlspaces. In older intown neighborhoods, we regularly encounter galvanized pipe that was grandfathered in before modern codes and now fails to meet manufacturer specifications for length and elbow count. In northern suburbs, sagging flex duct in hot attics has often torn or disconnected entirely. A proper installation uses smooth-wall metal pipe, minimizes elbows, and terminates at an exterior wall or roof penetration with a code-compliant cap.
New installations typically run $350 – $650 depending on routing complexity and materials. Rerouting an existing run to eliminate problematic elbows or attic exposure falls in the $200 – $450 range. We map the shortest practical path, mark all penetrations, and give you a written price before cutting anything.
Rerouting for Code Compliance
Many Atlanta bungalows have dryer vents that exceed the 25-foot maximum equivalent length once elbows are factored. We reroute through exterior walls where possible, reducing run length and improving airflow. Every reroute includes a new termination hood with bird guard and proper clearances from windows and HVAC intakes.
Bird Guard and Cap Replacement
Squirrels, birds, and wasps exploit damaged caps throughout Atlanta’s tree-canopied neighborhoods. We install Guardsman and Abatement Technologies caps with integrated pest barriers that don’t restrict airflow, sized to your pipe diameter and local code requirements.
Trusted Brands We Service in Atlanta
Our Atlanta crews carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman. Rotobrush rotary systems handle the compacted lint we find in decades-old galvanized runs. Nikro negative-air machines maintain containment during extraction. Aprilaire and Guardsman filtration products protect indoor air quality during the job. We stock common cap sizes, transition fittings, and smooth-wall pipe sections so most installations finish in one visit without waiting on parts. When a Grant Park homeowner needs a specific termination hood or a Marietta job requires extended routing materials, our Atlanta office coordinates same-day supply runs rather than rescheduling.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Atlanta Homes
- Compacted lint in original galvanized runs. The lint trap gets cleaned but the original galvanized run in a Grant Park or Kirkwood bungalow stays packed. Lint compounds at every elbow, and the homeowner assumes the vent is fine because the trap is empty. By the time drying takes two cycles, several pounds of material may be lodged in the pipe.
- Sagging flex duct in unconditioned attics. A builder-grade flex duct dryer run in a 1990s Alpharetta or Roswell home sags and kinks in the attic’s heat, creating a low spot where lint collects and the run effectively chokes off airflow. These installations often violate manufacturer instructions for supported horizontal runs.
- Pollen-glued termination hoods. After a heavy pine pollen week in March or April, technicians commonly find termination hoods coated with a sticky yellow-green film that jams the flapper open. A quick shop-vac pass at the wall doesn’t remove it, leaving a pest and moisture entry point.
- Crushed or pinched pipe from remodeling. We recently worked a 1920s bungalow in Grant Park where the homeowner’s dryer was taking two cycles to dry a load and the laundry room was running hot. After pulling the dryer out, our tech ran a camera inspection down the original galvanized run and found it crushed behind the kitchen wall where a remodel had pinched the pipe. We cut in an access panel, used agitation tools on a Rotobrush line to break up the compacted lint, and pulled the debris out under negative pressure with HEPA filtration so nothing dumped back into the laundry room. The dryer now dries in one cycle and the homeowner has a marked access point for future service.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Atlanta, GA
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Atlanta runs $150 – $275 for most single-family homes. This covers camera inspection, full-run agitation and extraction, termination hood cleaning, and operational verification. Rerouting or new installation runs $350 – $650.

What moves the price: length of run, number of elbows, access difficulty (crawlspace, steep roof, interior wall), and whether the existing pipe is salvageable or needs replacement. We do not quote per-vent teaser prices that balloon at the door. We inspect, we explain, we write the price down, and that number does not move once you approve it. Estimates are free.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Atlanta
Yes. We access and clean roof-terminated vents from inside the home using extension rods and camera verification, and we inspect the termination hood from the exterior using a ladder. You don’t climb anything. If the cap needs replacement, we handle that during the same visit. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Atlanta’s humid summer air is already moisture-saturated, so your dryer works harder to evaporate water from clothes. If the vent is partially restricted with lint, that extra load pushes drying times over the edge. In winter, drier air masks the restriction. The vent needs cleaning either way; summer just makes the problem visible. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Yes. Flex duct in hot attics sags, kinks, and tears where rigid metal won’t. We inspect for structural damage and proper support, not just lint removal. If the flex is deteriorated, we recommend replacing it with smooth-wall metal pipe routed for proper slope and support. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Every 12 – 18 months for most Atlanta homes, and every 6 – 12 months if you have a large household, pets, or an older long-run installation. Pollen season adds sticky buildup to termination hoods, and humidity accelerates lint matting. Annual inspection is the safest baseline. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
No. We clean the entire vent run from dryer connection to exterior termination using camera inspection, rotary agitation tools, and negative-air extraction with HEPA filtration. The lint trap area is just the start; the real hazard is inside the wall, attic, or roof run where you can’t see or reach. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
