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 Dublin typically runs $180 – $340 for a standard residential job, and most appointments are scheduled within a few business days.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Dublin’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Hollis Air Duct Cleaning has been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004. In Dublin, we’ve built our reputation on showing up inside the quoted window, pricing in writing, and leaving the site clean. That discipline matters here because Dublin’s housing stock throws real curveballs: mid-century galvanized ducts that have separated at joints, and 1990s flex runs buried under R-30 insulation that look fine from the laundry room but are collapsed in the attic.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. We use professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, the same tools commercial crews use, and we explain what we’re doing in plain terms while we work. The price we write down is the price you pay. If the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Dublin
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Dublin means more than vacuuming out the lint trap or blowing air through the wall cap. We inspect the full run from the back of your dryer to the exterior termination, using camera tools when the duct disappears into an attic or wall cavity. In Dublin’s older ranch homes near downtown, we often find decades of packed lint in original galvanized runs that have never been professionally cleaned. In east Dublin subdivisions like Dublin Ranch, the problem is usually a crushed or disconnected flex duct buried under blown-in insulation, where lint accumulates out of sight and the dryer labors through every cycle.
A standard Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Dublin runs $180 – $280 for accessible runs that need thorough agitation and vacuum extraction. If we find damage requiring section replacement or reconnection, costs typically range $220 – $340. Every price is written and agreed before we start.
Camera Inspection for Hidden Blockages
When a vent run travels through a low-slope attic or behind a knee wall, we feed a camera through the duct to locate collapses, separations, or dense lint packing. This takes the guesswork out of the job. You’ll see what we see, and we’ll explain exactly what needs cleaning versus what needs replacing.
Lint Removal and Airflow Restoration
We use rotary brush systems and negative-air machines to dislodge packed lint without damaging the duct walls. For delicate flex duct, we switch to soft-bristle agitation tools that clean thoroughly without tearing the inner liner. The goal is restoring full airflow so your dryer operates at manufacturer-rated efficiency.
Dryer Vent Installation in Dublin
Dryer Vent Installation in Dublin becomes necessary when the existing run is too deteriorated to clean safely or was never code-compliant to begin with. In Dublin Ranch and other east-side subdivisions built during the 1980s – 2000s, we regularly find original flex duct that has collapsed, torn at seams, or separated from the termination hood. The inner liner degrades after 20 – 30 years, and because it’s hidden under R-30 blown-in insulation, most homeowners don’t know there’s a problem until the dryer fails to perform.
New Dryer Vent Installation in Dublin typically costs $280 – $450 for a standard through-wall or through-roof run with proper materials and termination. Rerouting around structural obstacles, adding a bird guard, or running rigid metal duct through a tight attic chase can push the upper end. We price every scenario in writing before touching anything.
Rigid Metal Duct Upgrades
Where original flex duct has failed, we often recommend replacing it with smooth-wall rigid metal duct. It moves air more efficiently, resists lint accumulation, and holds up better in Dublin’s hot attic conditions. We seal every joint with proper mastic and support the run to prevent sagging or separation.
Bird Guard and Cap Replacement
Dublin’s mature trees and proximity to open space attract birds and rodents to vent terminations. We install metal mesh bird guards that block nesting without restricting airflow, and we replace cracked or missing vent caps that let rain and pests into the duct.
Trusted Brands We Service in Dublin
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for thorough mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines that maintain constant suction during cleaning, and filtration and sealing products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies. We stock common replacement parts and termination hardware for Dublin jobs, so most installations and repairs are completed in a single visit without waiting on shipped materials. When we recommend a component, we explain what it does and why it fits your specific duct configuration, not just the brand name.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Dublin Homes
- Separated joints in attic runs. In Dublin Ranch and East Dublin, the flex duct joint near the attic penetration often separates under thermal cycling and settling, so lint blows into the insulation instead of outdoors. The dryer runs longer and hotter while the blockage remains invisible.
- Collapsed flex duct under blown-in insulation. The original flex runs in 1990s – 2000s homes were not designed to support the weight of R-30 insulation. Over time the duct compresses or the inner liner tears, creating a partial or complete blockage that a shop vac cannot reach.
- Decades of lint in original galvanized ducts. Downtown Dublin’s mid-century ranches often have the same metal duct run that was installed in the 1950s or 1960s. Without periodic professional cleaning, lint compacts into dense layers that restrict airflow and create a genuine fire hazard.
- Improper terminations and missing caps. We find vents that terminate under decks, into garages, or through damaged wall caps that allow water intrusion and pest entry. Dublin’s wet winters and warm summers accelerate corrosion and mold growth in these compromised terminations.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dublin
The flex duct in your attic has likely collapsed or separated under the blown-in insulation, blocking airflow while trapping moisture. In Dublin Ranch specifically, we’ve found that 1990s-era flex duct loses structural integrity after 25 – 30 years, and the R-30 insulation above it hides the damage completely. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll camera-inspect the run to confirm what’s happening.
We use a flexible borescope camera fed through the duct from either the laundry room or the exterior termination. This lets us locate collapses, separations, and lint packing without pulling down insulation. If we find damage, we’ll show you the footage and explain whether cleaning, repair, or full replacement is the right fix.
Yes. The lint trap catches roughly 60% of lint; the rest passes into the duct run and accumulates over years. In Dublin’s older homes with long horizontal runs or original galvanized duct, that accumulation becomes a fire hazard and drives up energy costs. Professional cleaning removes what the trap cannot reach.
We remove the failed flex or metal duct, measure for proper airflow path, install smooth-wall rigid metal duct with sealed joints, and terminate it through a code-compliant wall or roof cap. In Dublin’s east-side subdivisions, we often must navigate tight attic chases and low-slope rooflines, which we price specifically after inspection.
Indirectly. Dublin’s clay soils expand and contract with moisture, causing slab movement that can shift wall framing and stress duct penetrations. We’ve found separations at attic penetrations and crushed duct where settling has compressed the chase. That’s why we camera-inspect rather than assuming the run is intact.
