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.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Fountainebleau’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Fountainebleau by showing up inside the window, pricing in writing, and leaving the site clean. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it applies to every job we run in this market.

The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every dryer vent cleaning we perform in Fountainebleau. 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 job.
We know Fountainebleau’s housing stock intimately: the mid-century single-family homes off West Flagler, the low-rise apartment complexes near the turnpike, the original 1950s-70s construction with short duct runs embedded in slabs or routed through humid garages. This isn’t generic knowledge. It’s local expertise that changes what we find and how we fix it.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fountainebleau
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fountainebleau covers the multi-unit laundry rooms, property management portfolios, and small commercial laundromats that keep this community running. In a market dominated by low-rise apartment complexes built in the 1960s and 1970s, commercial dryer vent systems often share common exhaust plenums that compound lint accumulation across multiple units. We clean these systems with Nikro negative-air machines and Rotobrush rotary systems, the same equipment commercial crews use, and we price by the system in writing before work starts.
A typical commercial dryer vent cleaning in Fountainebleau runs $280 – $550 depending on the number of termination points, access difficulty, and whether the shared plenum requires sectional disassembly. Property managers in complexes near Fontainebleau Boulevard and the apartment clusters off Northwest 7th Street have used our service for scheduled annual maintenance that keeps their laundry rooms operational and their insurance inspectors satisfied.
Multi-Unit Exhaust Systems
Shared exhaust plenums in older Fountainebleau apartment buildings collect lint from multiple dryers into a single pathway. We camera-map the full plenum, identify restriction points, and clean under negative pressure so dislodged lint exhausts completely rather than settling in downstream sections.
Property Management Scheduling
We coordinate with Fountainebleau property managers to clean during low-occupancy windows, provide written completion documentation for insurance files, and flag any code issues with vent termination clearances or fire-rated penetrations that need addressing.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Fountainebleau
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Fountainebleau means more than blowing air through a tube. In this market, the tropical humidity and near-constant AC cycle create a unique failure mode: damp lint that mats against duct walls instead of blowing clear. Our service includes full camera inspection of the run, negative-air extraction with professional Nikro equipment, and airflow verification before we leave. A standard residential Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Fountainebleau costs $180 – $280; if we find crushed or disconnected original piping that requires re-routing with smooth rigid pipe and a new termination hood, that typically runs $320 – $480 installed.
We serve Fountainebleau homeowners from the original 1950s ranch homes near West Flagler to the updated mid-century properties throughout the neighborhood. Every technician arrives with Rotobrush rotary brush systems, camera inspection gear, and the rigid pipe and fittings needed to replace damaged runs on the spot.
Camera Inspection and Airflow Testing
We run a camera through your full vent path before and after cleaning. You see what we see: the crushed flex, the damp lint matting, the obstruction that’s forcing your dryer to work harder. After cleaning, we verify airflow at the termination hood with a calibrated meter. No guesswork.
Re-Routing and Code-Compliant Replacement
When we find slab-embedded flex pipe crushed by shifting pavers or original runs that violate current termination clearances, we re-route to smooth rigid pipe with proper slope and a new hood. We price this in writing before we cut anything.
Trusted Brands We Service in Fountainebleau
We stock parts and fittings from Guardsman, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies for Fountainebleau customers, which means most re-routes and termination replacements happen same-visit without waiting for supply runs. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation of caked lint, Nikro negative-air machines for controlled extraction, and Honeywell filtration products when we’re running combined air duct and dryer vent jobs. These aren’t hardware-store tools. They’re the same systems commercial crews deploy, and we explain what each one does for your specific vent run before we start it up.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Fountainebleau Homes
- Crushed slab-embedded flex pipe. Fountainebleau’s slab-on-grade mid-century homes put the dryer on an exterior wall with the vent run embedded in the slab or running through a hot, humid garage. The lint pathway is short but almost never straight, and the heat and dampness of that run is why we find compacted, mildew-damp lint rather than the dry fluff you’d see in a drier climate.
- Damp lint matting against duct walls. Tropical humidity keeps the lint pathway damp year-round. The lint mats down and clings to the duct wall, so a shop-vac pass from the outside reads “clear” while a camera inspection still shows a caked coating that restricts airflow and creates a fire hazard.
- Thermal fuse trips from blower housing lint. Constant AC makes residents treat the dryer vent as a secondary concern, so they skip the annual clean and only call after the dryer’s thermal fuse trips. By then the lint is already charred against the blower housing, and the dryer’s internal safety components have started failing.
- Original 1970s termination hoods with missing flappers. The old hoods on Fountainebleau homes lose their flapper doors to corrosion and physical damage, letting humid outside air and insects into the duct. We replace these with modern low-profile hoods that seal when the dryer isn’t running.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fountainebleau
Your Fountainebleau vent clogs faster because tropical humidity keeps lint damp, so it mats and sticks to duct walls instead of blowing through as dry particles. In drier climates, lint stays fluffy and exits easily; here it compacts into a dense coating that narrows the airway even when the trap itself is clean. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll camera-inspect your run to show you exactly what’s happening inside.
It usually needs both. Original 1960s slab-embedded flex pipe in Fountainebleau homes kinks and crushes at the first bend, so lint packs against the obstruction instead of reaching the termination. We clean what we can access, then camera-inspect to determine if re-routing to smooth rigid pipe is the permanent fix. Most re-routes run $320 – $480 installed. We’ll give you a written price for both options before we start.
We run a camera through the full vent path before and after cleaning, and we measure airflow at the termination hood with a calibrated meter. You see the footage. You get the numbers. If the run still shows restriction or the airflow doesn’t meet manufacturer spec, we keep working until it does. That’s covered under our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Yes, and it’s a serious one. The humidity that keeps lint damp also means the lint that does accumulate against the blower housing or heating element is already pre-conditioned to smolder. We find charred lint in Fountainebleau dryers regularly, usually after the thermal fuse has tripped and the homeowner finally calls. Don’t wait for the warning sign. A standard cleaning is $180 – $280.
Yes. We clean multi-unit laundry rooms and shared exhaust plenums in Fountainebleau’s low-rise apartment complexes throughout the area, including properties near Fontainebleau Boulevard and Northwest 7th Street.

We coordinate with property managers for minimal tenant disruption and provide written completion documentation for insurance files. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule a site evaluation.
