AfterFast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Clovis
Dryer vent cleaning in Clovis typically runs $150 – $275 for a single-family home and $200 – $400 for multi-unit shared stacks, with most jobs completed in 90 minutes to two hours. We’re the Clovis crew from Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, dispatching from our Fresno, Central Valley office to reach neighborhoods from Old Town to the northeast subdivisions near Clovis North. Our phone is answered by a live person 24 hours a day: (361) 326-5060.
Clovis isn’t Fresno. The housing stock here splits hard between pre-1970 downtown and west-side homes with shallow crawlspaces and galvanized ductwork, and the explosive northeast growth of two-story tract homes built from 2000 onward. That newer density means shared laundry walls, stacked vertical vent runs, and attics that hit 140°F+ from June through September. We’ve cleaned dryer vents in the apartment clusters along Shaw Avenue, the condo courts near Peach Avenue, and the single-family builds north of Herndon. We know which configurations fail here and why a one-unit cleaning often misses the real problem.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Clovis’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family. That track record predates most competitors in the Fresno-Clovis market. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and expected to operate under The Garrison Code: arrive inside the quoted window, price the job in writing before touching anything, complete the work by the book, and leave the site clean.
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. No negotiation, no runaround.
Calls to (361) 326-5060 are answered by a live person, not a voicemail loop or callback queue. We schedule Clovis jobs with realistic drive-time from our Fresno, Central Valley office, and we show up when we said we would.
Our crews carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, plus Guardsman HEPA filtration units. These are the same tools commercial crews use, not hardware-store gear. We explain what we’re running and why, in plain terms, before we start.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Clovis
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Clovis addresses the shared vertical stacks and roof manifolds that serve apartment clusters, condo associations, and multi-tenant buildings across the city. The job involves camera inspection of the full run, agitation cleaning with rotary tools, negative-air extraction at the termination point, and HEPA filtration of affected living spaces. A typical commercial dryer vent cleaning in Clovis runs $300 – $600 for a shared stack serving 4 – 8 units, depending on height, access, and lint load. Properties near the Shaw/Peach corridor and Old Town Clovis see this need most frequently due to the concentration of two- and three-story buildings erected during the 1990s and 2000s housing boom.
Shared Stack Mapping and Camera Inspection
We start with a camera run from the rooftop manifold down through each elbow between floors. In a three-story complex, that means identifying lint settlement points at every transition. Without this step, you’re paying to clean a vent that re-clogs in six months because the lower-unit pathways were never cleared.
Negative-Air Extraction with HEPA Containment
We set up Nikro negative-air machines at the roof termination to pull lint backward through the stack while Rotobrush agitation tools work down from above. Guardsman HEPA filtration units scrub the laundry rooms on occupied floors during the process. This matters in Clovis’s dense apartment configurations where one blocked stack affects every unit’s drying performance and indoor air quality.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Clovis
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Clovis covers the full range of residential configurations, from single-family homes in the northeast subdivisions to townhomes with attic-vent runs to older downtown properties with under-floor ductwork. The standard service includes visual and camera inspection of the full run, lint removal with rotary brush and negative-air methods, airflow verification before and after, and a written report of any damage or code issues found. A typical residential dryer vent cleaning in Clovis costs $150 – $275, with attic-vent rerouting or cap replacement adding $75 – $150 if needed.
Attic-Vent Collapse Repair
In northeast Clovis homes built from 2000 onward, we regularly find the flexible duct liner collapsed at the wall-to-attic transition, pinched by 140°F+ heat degradation and the weight of fast-installed flex. This isn’t a cleaning issue alone; it’s a repair need. We document it with camera footage, quote the rerouting or replacement in writing, and schedule the fix if you approve.
Crawlspace and Under-Floor Access
Older homes west of Clovis Avenue and south of Shaw often have dryer ducts running through shallow crawlspaces with 18-inch clearance. Standard cleaning tools don’t fit. We use flexible camera heads and compact agitation wands to verify the full lint pathway is clear without tearing out duct sections unnecessarily.
Trusted Brands We Service in Clovis
We stock parts and equipment from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies for Clovis customers, which means faster turnaround on vent cap replacements, bird guard installations, and filtration upgrades. Our vans carry Guardsman HEPA units for jobs where lint contamination has spread into living spaces, common in shared-stack apartment cleanings. We don’t order parts from a warehouse three states away and make you wait a week. If your northeast Clovis home needs a new termination cap after the old one baked brittle in the attic heat, we likely have the fit on the van.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Clovis Homes
- Shared vertical stack backflow in Old Town and Shaw/Peach apartments. A blockage on the third floor forces moist, lint-laden air down into second- and first-floor laundry alcoves. One call should map the whole column, not just the complaining unit’s flex hose.
- Attic flex duct collapse in northeast subdivisions. The 140°F+ summer heat degrades the inner liner at the wall/attic transition, causing it to pinch or tear. Drying times climb from 45 minutes to two hours before the homeowner realizes the vent is compromised.
- Baked-on lint in attic-vent runs. Clovis’s triple-digit heat waves don’t just degrade duct liners; they bake lint onto duct walls in a hard layer that requires rotary agitation to remove. A vacuum-only cleaning leaves most of the load in place.
- Crawlspace access restrictions in pre-1970 west-side homes. Shallow crawlspaces and galvanized ductwork make camera inspection the only reliable way to confirm the full pathway is clear. We won’t quote a cleaning we can’t verify.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Clovis
Clovis apartments, especially in the Old Town and Shaw/Peach corridors, typically route dryer vents through shared vertical stacks to a common roof manifold. A blockage on the third floor can back lint into every unit below, so cleaning only one unit’s flex hose leaves the stack loaded. We map the full column and recommend HOA scheduling for the entire shared stack.
The extreme heat bakes lint onto duct walls in a hard, adhered layer that vacuuming alone won’t remove, and it degrades flexible duct liners in attics to the point of collapse or flaking. Northeast Clovis homes with attic-vent runs see this failure mode far more often than homes in cooler climates or with conditioned crawlspaces.
We use Nikro negative-air machines for extraction at the roof termination, Rotobrush rotary systems for agitation down the stack, and Guardsman HEPA filtration units to scrub affected living spaces during the process. Camera inspection precedes every job to identify lint settlement points between floors.
Yes, and we typically recommend scheduling both units together or coordinating through your HOA for the full stack. Cleaning only your branch leaves lint loading in the shared section, which re-contaminates your run within months. We document the full configuration with camera footage and quote accordingly.
Single-family homes in Clovis should have dryer vents cleaned every 12 – 18 months; homes with long attic runs or multiple loads per week may need annual service. Apartment and condo units on shared stacks should be inspected annually and cleaned on a schedule set by the property manager, typically every 1 – 2 years depending on occupancy and usage. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule an inspection and we’ll recommend an interval based on your specific configuration.
