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 Georgetown
Dryer vent cleaning in Georgetown typically runs $150 – $275 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs are completed in under 90 minutes. If your dryer is taking two cycles to finish a load or the laundry room feels unusually warm, you’re not imagining it. You’re looking at a clogged vent that costs you money on every utility bill and increases fire risk every time you hit start.
We live and work in this same stretch of Fairfield County, and we know the difference between a 1920s colonial off Main Street and a raised ranch near the Norwalk line. That matters because the venting in those two homes has almost nothing in common. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning crews dispatch from our Hartford office and carry the fittings, brushes, and inspection cameras to handle whatever Georgetown throws at us, whether it’s a short straight run through an unfinished basement or a forty-foot horizontal line buried in a finished ceiling.
Georgetown sits in that pocket of Connecticut where winter humidity drops low enough to create static-electricity problems, but summer can hang heavy and wet. Those swings matter for dryer vents. A partially blocked vent in January might just mean longer dry times. In July, that same blockage traps heat and moisture against your lint buildup, accelerating the exact conditions that lead to dryer fires. We’ve pulled nests, construction debris, and once a complete blockage of compacted dryer sheet residue from a home near the intersection of Route 7 and Route 107. The homeowner had no idea until we showed her the camera feed.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Georgetown’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our name in Georgetown carries the weight of written prices and a 365-Day Done Right Promise that actually gets honored. Roy Castellanos built this operation on The Garrison Standard: arrive inside the window, price it before you touch it, finish by the book, leave the site clean. No exceptions.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. And when you call (361) 326-5060, a live person answers, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no “we’ll get back to you Monday.”
We also handle Air Duct Cleaning in Georgetown and Duct Sealing in Georgetown, which matters because the same homes with vent problems often have duct leakage pulling attic dust into living spaces. We can inspect both systems in one visit and price them separately so you decide what to address now and what to schedule later.
Dryer Vent Installation in Georgetown
Dryer Vent Installation in Georgetown becomes necessary when your current vent is damaged beyond repair, improperly routed through a combustible wall, or simply doesn’t meet modern code for your dryer’s capacity. A typical new installation in Georgetown runs $200 – $450 depending on material length, wall penetration requirements, and whether we’re venting through a foundation wall or routing up through a roof jack.
When New Construction Needs Correction
Newer Georgetown homes, particularly townhomes and condos near the Wilton border, sometimes ship with vent runs that are too long, too many elbows, or terminated in crawl spaces against code. We measure static pressure, calculate equivalent vent length, and reroute to manufacturer specifications using rigid aluminum where possible.
Historic Home Retrofits
Older Georgetown properties near the historic district often have dryers installed in interior closets with no exterior wall access. We core through masonry or frame walls with proper fire-stopping, install self-closing louvers, and verify backdraft prevention so you’re not bleeding conditioned air.
Dryer Vent Repair in Georgetown
Dryer Vent Repair in Georgetown covers everything from crushed transition hoses behind the dryer to disconnected joints in wall cavities and damaged vent caps that let rain and rodents inside. Most repairs fall between $125 – $225, with straightforward cap replacements at the lower end and concealed joint repairs requiring drywall access at the higher end.
Storm and Pest Damage
Georgetown’s mature tree canopy and proximity to wooded areas means vent caps take abuse. We’ve replaced caps torn off by wind, chewed by squirrels, and clogged with seed pods from the oak and maple that dominate local lots. Our replacements include pest-resistant designs with proper backdraft dampers.
Hidden Disconnections
A vent that looks intact from the outside may be completely separated inside a wall. We run inspection cameras through the full length of the run and show you exactly where the failure is before we quote repair. No surprises, no demolition without documentation.
Trusted Brands We Service in Georgetown
We carry replacement caps, transitions, and fittings from Honeywell and Aprilaire, and our cleaning equipment includes Nikro negative-air machines and Rotobrush rotary systems, the same tools commercial crews use in hospitals and schools. For Georgetown homeowners, that means we don’t order parts and make you wait. Our vans stock the common vent diameters, cap styles, and pest guards used in Fairfield County construction, so most repairs finish in a single visit. If your vent system uses specialized components from a particular dryer manufacturer, we source those too, but we never mark up parts or charge travel time for a second trip.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Georgetown Homes
- Lime dust infiltration from limestone-rich soil. Georgetown’s location on the Edwards Plateau means local soil has high limestone content. That fine dust pulls into homes through foundation gaps and attic penetrations, mixing with lint to form dense, concrete-like blockages in longer vent runs.
- Undersized vents in historic retrofits. Homes near the Williamson County Courthouse square often have dryers added to original floor plans never meant to accommodate them. We find 3-inch vent pipe forced into walls that need 4-inch minimum, creating backpressure that overheats the dryer and voids warranties.
- Flexible ductwork crimped in new construction. Large developments like Sun City Texas and Wolf Ranch sometimes use flexible duct that’s been crushed during finishing work, buried in insulation, or routed with tight radius bends that trap lint at every turn.
- Humidity-driven mold in low-slope vent runs. Georgetown’s humid subtropical summers mean any vent with inadequate slope or a sagging flexible section can collect condensation. That moisture feeds mold growth that smells bad, reduces airflow, and spreads spores into the laundry space.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Georgetown, CT
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Georgetown runs $150 – $275. That covers a single-family home with one dryer, one exterior termination, and vent runs up to 25 feet. Longer runs, roof terminations, or multiple dryers add $75 – $150 per additional section. Vent installation ranges $200 – $450. Repairs fall between $125 – $225. Bird guard installation is $85 – $150 depending on cap style and accessibility.
What moves the needle on cost: vent length and complexity, termination height (first floor versus roofline), whether we need to move the dryer or cut access, and the density of the blockage. A routine annual cleaning takes less time than a first cleaning in ten years. We inspect first, show you the camera footage, and give you a written price before any work starts. That price does not move at the door. Estimates are free. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
