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.

AfterFast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Bulverde
Dryer vent cleaning in Bulverde typically costs $120 – $280 for a standard residential system, with most jobs completed in under two hours. Our crews cover the full Bulverde area from Bulverde Hills to The Crossing and the ranch properties along Bulverde Road, bringing rotary brush systems and negative-air equipment from our Dallas-Fort Worth dispatch office.

Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Bulverde’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been serving Bulverde homeowners since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our reputation here is built on showing up inside the quoted window and leaving the site clean. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and the price is written down before we touch your system, so there’s no surprise at the door.
Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, but crews serve Bulverde locally and understand the area’s specific challenges: custom ranch homes on acreage lots, attics that hit 140°F in July, and vent runs that can stretch 25 feet or more through unconditioned space. We also handle Duct Sealing in Bulverde and Air Duct Cleaning in Bulverde for homeowners who want their full system addressed.
Every job carries our 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. That’s not a verbal assurance; it’s written on every invoice.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Bulverde
Dryer Vent Inspection in Bulverde is the starting point for every service call, because out here the problems often hide in long vent runs through hot attics or behind walls in custom-built homes. A technician runs a camera through the full length of your vent line, checks airflow with a digital anemometer, and inspects the termination cap for damage or improper clearance from vegetation. In Bulverde’s Hill Country setting, we regularly find bird nests in caps, lint packed hard by humidity, and flexible ductwork sagging in attic heat. A standard inspection runs $75 – $125, waived if you proceed with cleaning.
When to Schedule an Inspection
Book an inspection if your dryer takes more than one cycle to dry a load, if you smell burning near the laundry area, or if it’s been over a year since the last cleaning. In Bulverde, we also recommend inspections before the December – February cedar fever season, when homeowners run indoor air systems constantly and any backup in the dryer vent forces more humidity into the home.
What the Inspection Covers
We check the full path from dryer back to exterior cap, measure airflow in cubic feet per minute, and photograph any blockages or damage. You’ll see the images. If the vent line needs rerouting or the cap replacing, we note it in the written estimate before any repair work begins.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bulverde
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bulverde serves the laundromats, assisted living facilities, and multi-unit properties along Highway 281 and the growing commercial corridors near Bulverde Road. These systems move far more lint volume than residential units, often through longer duct networks with multiple bends, and they face the same Hill Country challenges of limestone dust infiltration and high attic temperatures that bake lint onto duct walls. We clean to NFPA 96 standards using Nikro negative-air machines and rotary brush systems, with jobs typically running $300 – $800 depending on duct length and access. Written scope and price before work starts, every time.
Compliance and Documentation
Commercial properties need documented cleaning for insurance and fire marshal requirements. We provide before-and-after photos, airflow readings, and a signed service report for your records. The Garrison Standard requires our technicians to arrive uniformed, work within marked hours, and leave the site clean, so your operation isn’t disrupted.
Scheduled Maintenance Programs
High-use commercial dryers in Bulverde should be cleaned quarterly to semi-annually. We set recurring appointments with reminder calls from a live person, not an automated system, and lock in pricing for the contract term so your maintenance budget stays predictable.
Trusted Brands We Service in Bulverde
Our crews carry parts and equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, the same brands commercial crews use in hospitals and schools. For Bulverde customers, this means faster turnaround when a vent cap, transition duct, or bird guard needs replacing, we don’t wait on a parts order from San Antonio. We stock Guardsman filtration accessories and Honeywell ventilation components compatible with most dryer systems installed in local homes built 1990 – 2020. When you call (361) 326-5060, we confirm what’s needed and arrive with it.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Bulverde Homes
- Long vent runs through hot attics. Many Bulverde ranch homes have dryers positioned far from exterior walls, with 20- to 35-foot vent runs through attics that exceed 130°F in summer. Lint hardens in the heat, reducing airflow and forcing the dryer to run longer cycles.
- Limestone dust mixing with lint. Bulverde’s caliche roads and active construction put fine limestone dust into the air. It infiltrates vent caps and binds with lint into a dense, concrete-like blockage standard brushes struggle to remove without professional rotary equipment.
- Improper DIY installations. Without municipal building codes in unincorporated Comal County, many homeowners or previous owners used flexible foil ducting, sagging lines with low points that trap moisture, or termination caps too close to ground cover. These installations are fire risks and efficiency drains.
- Ashe juniper debris in spring. During December through February, mountain cedar pollen coats outdoor surfaces, including dryer vent caps. Combined with lint, it creates a mat that blocks airflow and forces humid exhaust back into the laundry space.
