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.

Dryer vent cleaning in Bacliff typically runs $150 – $280 for a standard single-story home, and most jobs take 90 minutes to two hours from arrival to cleanup.

We’ve been serving the Bacliff area since 2004, dispatching from our Houston office with crews who know the local housing stock. We understand the difference between a slab-on-grade home in League City and a pier-and-beam ranch on the bay side of Bacliff, where the crawl space stays damp and the dryer vent runs through conditions you won’t find inland. That local knowledge changes what we bring, how we inspect, and what we expect to find.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Bacliff’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Our reputation in Bacliff was built on showing up inside the window and pricing in writing before we touch anything. Homeowners here have dealt with enough no-shows and bait-and-switch quotes to know the difference.
We answer our phones live, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday to schedule. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they arrive with the same Rotobrush and Nikro equipment we use on commercial jobs, not hardware-store attachments.
Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how every Hollis location operates, including ours serving Bacliff.
Dryer Vent Repair in Bacliff
Dryer Vent Repair in Bacliff is rarely a simple matter of pulling lint from a straight run. Because most homes here sit on pier-and-beam foundations with vents routed through damp crawl spaces, we find rusted galvanized pipe, sagging flexible duct, and crushed elbows that block airflow and create fire hazards. A typical repair in Bacliff runs $180 – $340 for section replacement and re-routing, with full replacement of a corroded run reaching $400 – $650 depending on length and access.
What We Find Under the House
The real problems hide where homeowners can’t see them. Original flexible duct from the 1970s or 1980s sags between joists, collecting Gulf moisture and lint into a paste that hardens against the walls. A surface cleaning at the register never touches it. We run camera inspection through the full pathway to locate these blockages before we quote any work.
Corroded Hoods and Stuck Dampers
Salt-laden air off Galveston Bay corrodes exterior vent hoods faster than inland locations. The backdraft damper sticks open, letting rain and pests in, or sticks shut, trapping heat and moisture in the duct. We replace these with marine-grade caps when needed and verify proper flap operation before we leave.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Bacliff
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company work in Bacliff means more than vacuuming a wall register. Our process starts with airflow measurement, then camera inspection of the full run, then source removal using agitation tools under negative pressure from our Nikro equipment. A standard cleaning for a Bacliff single-story home runs $150 – $280; homes with longer runs, second-floor laundry rooms, or severe buildup fall at the higher end.
Inspection Before Quote
We don’t guess. Our tech measures airflow at the exterior hood, runs a camera through the duct, and shows you what we found. Only then do we write a price. If the duct is damaged or improperly routed, we’ll explain the repair and give you a second line item. You choose what moves forward.
Negative-Pressure Source Removal
We connect a high-powered vacuum to the duct and use rotary brushes to agitate lint off the walls while suction pulls it into a contained collection system. This is the method recommended by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association, and it’s the only way to clear packed lint in a humid Bacliff crawl space without pushing debris into your home.
Trusted Brands We Service in Bacliff
We carry replacement parts from Guardsman and Abatement Technologies on our vans, along with filtration accessories from Aprilaire for homeowners who want added protection. For Bacliff customers, that means same-day completion on most repairs without waiting for parts orders. Our Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines are the same tools found on commercial jobs across the Gulf Coast, and we maintain them to manufacturer spec so they perform at rated capacity on every call.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Bacliff Homes
- Wet lint paste in pier-and-beam crawl spaces. Gulf humidity keeps lint damp year-round in Bacliff’s elevated homes. Instead of drying and blowing clear, it adheres to duct walls and hardens into a paste that restricts airflow and feeds mold growth.
- Original galvanized duct with rust-through. Homes built in the 1960s through 1980s often have galvanized pipe that’s reached its end of life. We find pinholes and separated seams that leak heat and lint into the crawl space, creating fire risk and attracting pests.
- Crushed flexible runs at pier-and-beam joists. Early flexible duct wasn’t built to span open crawl spaces. It gets kinked at joist penetrations or crushed by settling, creating blockages the homeowner never sees because the lint trap looks clean.
- Corroded exterior hoods after storm season. Salt air and bay flooding accelerate corrosion on vent caps and dampers. After Hurricane Nicholas or a strong king tide, we replace multiple hoods in the same Bacliff neighborhood because the flaps have seized or broken off entirely.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bacliff
Yes. Pier-and-beam construction in Bacliff means we inspect and clean the full run through the crawl space, not just the wall register. We bring portable lighting, protective barriers for the access point, and camera equipment to navigate tight joist spaces. The humid environment also means we check for mold and rust while we’re under there. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule – we’ll confirm your foundation type when you book so we bring the right setup.
Faster and heavier. The Gulf humidity keeps lint damp, so it clings to duct walls instead of drying out and blowing through. A Bacliff vent that handles the same laundry volume as a Katy or Cypress home will typically need cleaning 20 – 30% more frequently. Most Bacliff homeowners we serve schedule every 12 – 18 months rather than the standard 2-year interval. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll assess your specific run and usage.
It depends on what the camera shows. If we find mud, silt, or salt residue inside the duct, cleaning alone won’t restore safe airflow or prevent corrosion from spreading. We replace flood-damaged sections with rigid metal duct rated for damp locations and install a new backdraft damper to prevent future intrusion. We’ll show you the camera footage and write separate prices for cleaning-only versus replacement so you can decide. Call (361) 326-5060 for a post-storm inspection.
Absolutely. We see this constantly in Bacliff’s older pier-and-beam homes. The first few feet from the dryer look fine, but the run sags or gets crushed between joists several feet into the crawl space, creating a packed blockage the homeowner can’t see. That’s why we always camera the full pathway before quoting. If your dry time has increased but the trap is clean, the blockage is likely hidden. Call (361) 326-5060 for camera inspection.
Yes, and we recommend it. If we’re in the crawl space for cleaning and find a sagging run, separated joint, or corroded section, we’ll write a repair price on the spot. Re-routing with rigid duct, sealing joints with high-temperature mastic, and adding proper support straps prevents the same problem from recurring next season. One trip, one written price, no return visit. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
