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.
Fast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Lebanon
Dryer vent cleaning in Lebanon typically runs $150 – $280 for a standard residential system, with rural properties and longer vent runs landing toward the upper end. We’re the Dryer Vent Cleaning team at Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we dispatch to Lebanon from our Memphis coordination office with crews who know the difference between a builder-grade subdivision off South Hartmann Drive and a rural spread out toward the Wilson County line. That local knowledge matters because a vent in a new-construction home near the Lebanon Premium Outlets faces entirely different lint and debris loads than one on a property with an unpaved drive and open farmland. If your dryer’s taking longer than one cycle, your vent is telling you something. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll give you a written price before we touch anything.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Lebanon’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company

That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how every Hollis location operates, independently owned and operated.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. And when we say we’ll be there, we’re there. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday for someone to tell you next Thursday might work.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every job in writing. If the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. Most competitors in this trade won’t put that in writing. We do, every time.
Dryer Vent Repair in Lebanon
Dryer Vent Repair in Lebanon covers the mechanical and structural fixes that keep your exhaust pathway safe and functional, from replacing a seized termination flapper on a rural property to rerouting a sagging flex duct run in a newer subdivision. Most Lebanon homeowners need repair when they notice the dryer overheating, a burning smell, or visible damage to the exterior vent cap. Typical repair work in Lebanon runs $180 – $350 depending on materials and access, with straightforward cap replacements on the lower end and full reroutes through crawl spaces or attics toward the higher end.
When Repair Beats Replacement
A cracked vent cap on a home near the historic square might just need a new hood and bird guard, not a full duct replacement. We inspect first with a camera, show you what we’re seeing, and write down the price before we start. If the galvanized duct behind a 1940s Lebanon home is intact but the termination is rusted through, we fix what’s broken and don’t sell you what you don’t need.
Rerouting Problem Runs
Builder-grade flex duct in newer Lebanon subdivisions often kinks behind the dryer where the homeowner can’t see it. Lint settles in those low spots, moisture condenses, and the duct deteriorates. We reroute with proper rigid or semi-rigid material, support it correctly, and eliminate the sag. The dryer breathes better, and you stop throwing money at double-cycle drying.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Lebanon
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company work in Lebanon means removing lint, debris, and obstruction from the full exhaust run, not just wiping out the trap. We serve Lebanon properties from in-town homes near Cumberland University to rural spreads off Highway 231, and the cleaning approach changes with the property. A standard residential cleaning in Lebanon runs $150 – $220; properties with longer runs, multiple bends, or heavy debris loading from unpaved roads typically fall in the $220 – $280 range.
What the Cleaning Actually Covers
We disconnect the transition duct, inspect with a camera, agitate the buildup with rotary tools, and clear it under negative pressure with HEPA filtration. The Rotobrush system scrubs the duct wall, the Nikro negative-air machine pulls the loosened debris out of your house entirely, and we capture it so nothing recirculates. You get before-and-after photos of your own ducts. No guessing, no trust-me handshakes.
Rural Properties Need a Different Schedule
Because so much of Lebanon’s housing sits on the outskirts where unpaved driveways, farm fields, and open land feed fine dust and spring pollen into the home, dryer vents here clog faster than in dense suburban tracts. Rural Lebanon owners should treat 8 – 12 months as the real cleaning interval, not the 3 – 5 years a builder-grade subdivision home can typically get away with. We’ve seen the difference firsthand. A crew ran out to a rural property off the outskirts near the Wilson County line where the homeowner’s dryer had started throwing a ‘restricted airflow’ fault and taking three cycles to dry a load. We pulled the vent run apart at the transition and found a felted mat of lint, pollen grit, and fine road dust from the unpaved drive packed past the lint pathway. The drum side looked fine, but the run had been quietly choking for months. Our tech ran a camera inspection down the full duct, used agitation tools on the buildup, cleared it under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, and the dryer was back to one-cycle drying that afternoon.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lebanon
We carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, the same tools commercial crews use, and we stock common vent caps, transition ducts, and bird guards so most Lebanon jobs finish in one visit without waiting on parts. For filtration and air quality, we work with Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman products when the job calls for upgraded protection. Whether you’ve got a standard 4-inch rigid vent on a home near Castle Heights or a complex run through an outbuilding on the north side of town, we have the gear and the parts on the van to handle it.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Lebanon Homes
- Rural dust and pollen matting: Fine grit and pollen from unpaved roads and open farmland pack into the lint pathway and dry out into a felt-like mat that a shop-vac at the trap can’t touch. We’ve pulled these mats out of vents on properties near the Wilson County line that were reducing airflow by 60 percent or more.
- Subdivision flex duct sagging: Builder-grade flex duct on newer homes in master-planned communities kinks and sags behind the dryer, so lint settles in the low spots and never makes it to the termination. The vent looks fine from outside but is half-blocked inside the run.
- Deferred maintenance on outlying properties: Longer service drives mean rural Lebanon homes often put off vent cleaning until the dryer fails entirely. By the time we open the vent, lint has cooked hard against the termination hood and the flapper is seized, which is exactly the condition behind the leading cause of home dryer fires.
- Construction debris in newer homes: In subdivisions near the Lebanon Premium Outlets and southside developments, technicians frequently find construction drywall dust and sawdust still coating duct interiors years after move-in because builder-grade systems were never properly cleaned before occupancy. That debris mixes with lint and forms a stubborn compound buildup.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lebanon, TN
| Service | Typical Range in Lebanon |
|---|---|
| Standard residential dryer vent cleaning (single run, in-town) | $150 – $220 |
| Rural property with long run, multiple bends, or heavy debris | $220 – $280 |

What moves the price: length of the vent run, number of bends, access difficulty, and the density of the buildup. A straight 8-foot run through an exterior wall in a home near Cumberland University is quick work. A 25-foot run with three bends through a crawl space on a rural property takes more time and more tooling. We write the price down before we start, and it doesn’t move at the door. No per-vent pricing, no add-on surprises. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote on your specific setup. Estimates are free.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lebanon
Every 8 – 12 months for rural properties with unpaved drives, open land, or wood heat. The fine dust and pollen loading is significantly higher than in dense subdivisions, and the lint pathway packs into a felted mat that restricts airflow long before the trap looks full. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll set a realistic schedule based on your specific property.
Outbuilding ducts often run longer, have more exposed sections, and terminate in places that invite pest intrusion or weather damage. We inspect for proper slope, intact insulation, and functional backdraft dampers. The cleaning method is the same, but the inspection points are more critical. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll walk through what’s specific to your setup.
No. The trap catches only the largest particles; fine lint passes through and accumulates in the duct run, especially at bends and the termination hood. We’ve opened vents in Lebanon homes where the trap was pristine and the duct was 70 percent blocked with packed lint past the transition. The only way to know is a camera inspection of the full run.
Yes. Wood heat generates fine ash particulate that circulates through the home and loads into the return air and the dryer intake. Combined with spring pollen and summer humidity in Lebanon’s climate, that dust compounds the lint buildup and can shorten your effective cleaning interval by several months. Rural properties with wood heat should lean toward the 8-month end of the recommended range.
Typically 90 minutes to two hours for a rural property with a long or complex run, compared to 45 – 60 minutes for a standard in-town installation. The extra time covers camera inspection, agitation of heavy buildup, and verification of airflow recovery at the termination. We don’t leave until we’ve tested the system and shown you the before-and-after. Call (361) 326-5060 to book a slot that works with your schedule.
