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.

We’ve been cleaning dryer vents in Brookhaven long enough to know this market isn’t like Sandy Springs or Roswell. The 1950s brick ranches along Dresden Drive and the teardown rebuilds that replaced them created a hybrid attic duct problem you won’t find in the manuals. Original galvanized trunk lines were left in place when new flex duct went in, and your dryer vent may be pulling lint through dead pipe that was never capped. That’s not a standard cleaning job. It’s a two-duct-generation reconciliation, and it’s why Brookhaven homeowners call us back when the cheap coupon crew missed the real problem.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Brookhaven’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Hollis Air Duct Cleaning has worked in Brookhaven since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family. Our reputation here was built on showing up inside the window, pricing in writing, and leaving the site clean. Roy Castellanos and our team know the local housing stock: which Drew Valley ranches still run original 4-inch galvanized, which Ashford Park teardowns have flex laid over abandoned hard pipe, and where the 1970s two-stories in Brittany have duct chases that complicate every run.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and accountable. The Garrison Code requires arriving inside the quoted window, pricing in writing, completing the job by the book, and leaving the site clean. Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. No negotiation, no runaround.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops. No callback queues. If you’re in Brookhaven and your dryer is running hot or taking two cycles to dry, you’ll talk to someone who can schedule you, not a recording that promises a callback Monday.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Brookhaven
Dryer Vent Inspection in Brookhaven is where most of our jobs start, because the visible problem (slow drying, hot laundry room) is rarely the actual problem. We run a camera through the full vent run from the dryer transition to the exterior termination, and what we find in Brookhaven attics is specific to this market. A typical inspection runs $120 – $180, and if you proceed with cleaning, we apply that toward the job.
Camera Findings in Older Ranch Homes
In Drew Valley and the original ranch sections near Blackburn Park, we regularly find new flex duct laid directly over uncapped 5-inch galvanized trunk lines from the 1950s or 60s. The dryer blower is pulling air through dead pipe that has collected decades of lint, construction debris, and sometimes rodent nesting. The camera shows it clearly. We cap the abandoned trunk at the plenum and seal with mastic so the new run pulls only from the living duct. The homeowner sees the before-and-after footage. No guesswork.
Teardown Rebuild Transitions
Ashford Park’s 1990s and 2000s infill rebuilds are notorious for this. Builders wrapped new flex around old hard pipe to save time, but the galvanized was never removed or capped. Our inspection identifies whether your dryer vent is pulling from a dead run, and we quote the sealing work separately from the cleaning. Both prices are written down before we start.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Brookhaven
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Brookhaven covers the multi-tenant buildings, townhome associations, and small retail spaces along Peachtree Road and Buford Highway where lint accumulation is a fire code and insurance liability issue, not just a convenience problem. A typical commercial run in Brookhaven runs $280 – $520 depending on duct length, termination height, and whether we need to access rooftop caps on mid-rise buildings. We schedule these during off-hours to avoid disrupting tenants or customers.
Multi-Terminal Systems
Brookhaven’s older apartment conversions and 1980s townhome clusters often have multiple dryers feeding a single main vent through a chase wall. One blocked terminal backs up the whole stack. We clean each branch independently, verify flow at every termination with an anemometer, and document the readings for property managers who need records for their insurance renewals.
Rooftop and High Access
Commercial terminations on Brookhaven’s low-rise office buildings and retail strips are often roof-mounted. Our crews carry extension ladders and safety harnesses for these jobs. We do not send maintenance staff onto wet shingles or steep pitches. If your building’s vent terminates above 15 feet, we price the access work in writing before we schedule.
Trusted Brands We Service in Brookhaven
We stock parts and replacement components from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman for Brookhaven customers who need vent cap replacements, bird guard installations, or transition box repairs. Our Rotobrush rotary brush systems handle the cleaning; our Nikro negative-air machines maintain containment during commercial jobs. For vent rerouting work in Brookhaven’s older homes, we carry galvanized hard pipe, foil-backed flex rated for dryer exhaust, and fire-rated mastic sealant. Most replacement parts are on the van, so we’re not making a second trip because a termination cap cracked or a bird guard was missing. If your dryer is a Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, or Bosch, the vent connection is standard. We work with what you have.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Brookhaven Homes
- Dead galvanized trunks pulling lint backward. In Ashford Park and Drew Valley teardowns, original 1950s hard pipe was left uncapped in the attic. Your dryer’s blower pulls air through the path of least resistance, which is often that abandoned trunk full of decades-old debris. The dryer works harder, runs hotter, and fails faster.
- Sagging flex duct from attic heat and humidity. Brookhaven attics hit 130 – 150°F in July and August. Flex duct softens, sags between joists, and creates low points where lint collects. A shop vac won’t reach these pockets. We remove the sagging section and replace it with properly supported hard pipe or reinforced flex.
- Pollen and exterior hood blockage. Brookhaven’s pine and oak canopy dumps yellow-green pollen every March. It coats exterior vent hoods and masks deeper lint accumulation behind the termination. We clean the hood, verify the flapper moves freely, and check that the screen (if present) isn’t clogged with compacted lint.
- Crushed or kinked transitions behind the dryer. In Brittany’s 1970s two-stories with laundry closets tucked against exterior walls, the short flex transition behind the dryer gets crushed against the wall every time the unit is pushed back. We replace these with rigid aluminum elbows that maintain full diameter through the bend.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Brookhaven
Because the visible symptom (slow drying) is usually caused by a hidden problem we can’t see from the laundry room. In Brookhaven’s hybrid attic systems, the dryer may be pulling through dead galvanized pipe that was never capped. The camera finds it in ten minutes. Without it, we’d clean the flex run and leave the real blockage untouched. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule an inspection; the fee applies toward cleaning if you proceed.
Brittany’s 1970s and 80s two-stories often have longer duct runs buried in slab or chase walls, with the laundry room centrally located. Drew Valley ranches have shorter runs through the attic, but more of them still contain original galvanized pipe that was abandoned, not removed. The ranch job is more likely to need capping and sealing; the two-story job is more likely to need access work or rerouting. We price each after inspection.
Yes. Attics here reach 130 – 150°F regularly in July and August. That heat softens flex duct, accelerates sagging, and promotes microbial growth on the duct surface where humidity condenses. The sag creates lint traps that reduce airflow and increase fire risk. We replace heat-damaged flex with properly supported hard pipe or high-temp reinforced flex rated for these conditions.
Yes. Our rotary brush cleaning, negative-air containment, and post-job flow verification follow NADCA guidelines for dryer exhaust systems. We document the before-and-after static pressure or airflow reading on every job. For commercial clients in Brookhaven, we provide that documentation for insurance or fire marshal records.
Multiple terminals feeding a single main, grease accumulation from restaurant dryers, and rooftop terminations that haven’t been accessed in years. Commercial systems also have longer runs with more elbows, which means more pressure drop and faster lint accumulation. We clean each branch independently and verify flow at every termination.
