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.

We’ve worked on enough Bexley homes to know the pattern before we step inside. The brick Tudors along North Parkview Avenue, the center-hall Colonials south of Main Street, the compact two-stories tucked behind Capital University’s campus – most were built between the 1920s and 1950s, and their dryer vents are almost always original galvanized or black-sheet-metal runs buried in plaster-and-lath chases. That matters because a 90-year-old vent isn’t a straight shot of modern flex duct you can snake from either end. It’s a restoration job on old sheet metal, and we price it as such before we touch anything.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Bexley’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Hollis Air Duct Cleaning has been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004. We operate under The Garrison Standard, which means written prices, written guarantees, and technicians who arrive inside the quoted window in uniform with a background check you can verify. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team serves Bexley with the same equipment commercial crews use: Rotobrush rotary systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and HEPA filtration from Abatement Technologies and Guardsman.
Every job gets our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. No negotiation, no runaround. Our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you’re not leaving voicemail when a vent issue has you worried.
We know Bexley’s housing stock because we’ve restored airflow in dozens of these homes. The original gravity-furnace cold-air returns that got covered during 1980s and 1990s remodels, the undersized returns force-fit to modern central air, the plaster-wall chases that hide crushed or disconnected runs – we’ve mapped it, camera-inspected it, and fixed it. That local knowledge means we diagnose faster and quote accurately the first time.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bexley
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bexley covers multi-unit laundry facilities, property management portfolios, and institutional buildings with high-velocity dryers that move far more lint than residential machines. We price these jobs by the system count and access complexity, with typical Bexley commercial runs ranging from $280 – $550 per dryer bank depending on line length, story height, and whether the run terminates through roof or sidewall. Every commercial quote is written and fixed before work begins.
Multi-Unit Property Inspection Protocols
Property managers in Bexley’s older apartment conversions and duplex stock need documented compliance. We camera-inspect each run, photo-document lint loading and any crushed or disconnected sections, and deliver a written report with line-item repair recommendations. This protects you from liability and gives tenants proof the work happened.
High-Volume Laundry Vent Restoration
Institutional dryers in Bexley’s schools, churches, and assisted living facilities generate enough lint to pack a run in months, not years. Our Nikro negative-air systems pull debris under controlled suction while rotary agitation tools break up compacted lint without damaging original galvanized trunk lines. We work around your operating hours.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Bexley
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Bexley is rarely a simple lint-trap-to-cap sweep. In this city’s pre-WWII housing stock, we routinely find 70 – 90 year old galvanized runs with interior rust from Central Ohio’s humid summers, crushed sections where later remodels framed over the original chase, and lint packed behind walls where no homeowner can reach. Our standard residential service runs $180 – $340, with vent rerouting or cap replacement adding $120 – $280 depending on materials and wall access.
Camera Inspection and Source Removal
We start with a borescope camera. You see what we see: the lint loading, the rust scale, the crushed elbow. Then we use Rotobrush rotary tools under negative-air HEPA containment to remove debris without blowing it into your living space. The price covers the full cleaning, not per-vent or per-foot add-ons.
Vent Rerouting and Code Corrections
When a Bexley run is crushed beyond recovery or terminates in a location that violates current code, we reroute in rigid metal with proper slope and termination. We write the price before cutting anything, and we pull permits when the job requires it. No surprises at the door.
Trusted Brands We Service in Bexley
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for controlled debris extraction, and HEPA filtration from Abatement Technologies and Guardsman that captures particles down to 0.3 microns. We stock replacement caps, bird guards, and rigid metal fittings sized for Bexley’s older homes, so most repairs don’t wait on parts orders. When we quote a job in Bexley, we know whether your run needs a standard 4-inch cap or the larger termination common on 1950s black-sheet-metal conversions. That parts familiarity saves a return trip and keeps the price where we wrote it.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Bexley Homes
- Crushed runs behind remodel walls. On a center-hall two-story off North Parkview Avenue, our tech found the dryer’s original 4-inch galvanized run crushed where a 1990s remodel had framed a new powder room over it, with 70 years of compacted lint packed against the first elbow. The dryer still ran, so the homeowner had no idea until we camera-inspected.
- Condensation rust in uninsulated tin. Central Ohio’s 90%+ summer dew points hit Bexley’s uninsulated galvanized vents hard. Interior rust flakes off and creates nucleation points where lint adheres tighter than in modern flex duct. We find this in nearly every pre-war home we service.
- Covered-over cold-air returns forcing moisture through dryer runs. Because many Bexley homeowners sealed the original gravity-furnace cold-air returns during renovations, the dryer vent becomes the only intact sheet-metal pathway. Moist air backs up, lint cakes, and fire risk climbs without anyone noticing the airflow restriction.
- Lint packed past the first elbow. Homeowners clean the trap faithfully. But on 70 – 90 year old Bexley sheet-metal runs, the majority of lint sits behind the wall, past the first bend, exactly where a fire starts. Camera inspection is the only way to know.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bexley, OH
A standard residential dryer vent cleaning in Bexley runs $180 – $340. Vent rerouting or replacement of crushed galvanized sections adds $120 – $280. Bird guard installation is $85 – $150. Cap replacement alone runs $65 – $120. Commercial dryer banks start at $280 per unit and scale with line length and access difficulty.
What moves the price: wall access (plaster-and-lath takes longer than drywall), story height (roof terminations need ladder work), and whether the run is intact or needs rerouting. We inspect with a camera before quoting, so the price we write is the price you pay. No per-vent pricing, no coupon that balloons once the van is in your drive.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bexley
Bexley’s pre-WWII galvanized and black-sheet-metal runs have interior rust and rough seams that trap lint, and many were crushed or partially blocked during decades of remodeling. Modern flex duct in a 2005 subdivision is smooth and accessible; a 1927 Bexley chase is neither. Call (361) 326-5060 for a camera inspection and exact quote.
Yes, and it’s common here. Covered terminations or enclosed runs force moist air back into the wall cavity, causing mold risk and fire hazard. We locate the original path with cameras, then reroute or restore proper termination to code. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule an inspection.
We use rotary agitation tools under negative-air HEPA containment, accessing the run from the dryer connection and the exterior termination when both are clear. If the run is crushed mid-wall, we open minimal plaster, document the damage with photos, and quote rerouting before cutting. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss your specific layout.
Every 12 – 18 months for standard residential use, or every 6 – 12 months if you run multiple loads daily or have pets that shed. Bexley’s older metal runs warrant the shorter interval because rust and seam gaps accelerate buildup. Call (361) 326-5060 to set a recurring schedule.
Yes. We clean multi-unit laundry banks, institutional dryers, and property management portfolios across Bexley, with written reports for compliance documentation. Commercial pricing starts at $280 per dryer bank. Call (361) 326-5060 for a facility assessment.
