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 Manor
Dryer vent cleaning in Manor typically costs $150 – $280 for a standard residential system and $350 – $650 for commercial setups, with most jobs completed in under two hours. Our crews serve Manor from our Austin dispatch office, and we’re familiar with the specific vent configurations common in newer subdivisions here. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
We’ve been cleaning dryer vents across the Manor area since 2004, and the calls we get here are different from what we see in older Austin neighborhoods. Homes in ShadowGlen, Lagos, and the other fast-growing subdivisions east of Highway 290 were thrown up quickly on former Blackland Prairie farmland. That speed shows up in the ductwork. Flexible vent runs snake through hot attics with sharp turns, and construction crews rarely clean out drywall dust before they cap the vent. We pull packed lint and debris from year-old vents in Manor more often than from twenty-year-old systems in Pflugerville or Austin’s established neighborhoods.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Manor’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Our reputation in Manor is built on showing up inside the quoted window and pricing the job in writing before we touch anything. We’re part of the Garrison Partners family, and every Hollis location operates under The Garrison Standard: arrive on time, price in writing, work by the book, leave the site clean. That standard matters in a market where too many outfits advertise a low teaser price, then double it once they’re in your laundry room.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and you’ll know who’s arriving before they pull into your driveway. 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 to schedule.
Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That promise is written down on every invoice, not something we mention verbally and forget.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Manor
Dryer Vent Inspection in Manor is the service we recommend most often for new homeowners, because the housing stock here hides problems that don’t show up until the dryer starts overheating. Our inspection covers the full lint pathway from the dryer connection to the exterior cap, including the flexible duct run through the attic that builders in ShadowGlen and Lagos so commonly install. We use a camera system to document the condition inside the vent, looking for construction debris, kinks, crushed sections, and improper slope that lets lint pool. A residential inspection in Manor typically runs $89 – $149, and we apply that fee toward the cleaning cost if you proceed with service.
When to Schedule an Inspection
Schedule a dryer vent inspection if your dryer takes more than one cycle to dry a load, if the exterior flap barely opens during operation, or if you smell burning lint when the dryer runs. In Manor’s new construction, we also recommend an inspection before your one-year builder warranty expires, since drywall dust blockages are a construction defect you can still claim.
What the Camera Reveals
Our camera inspection shows you exactly what’s inside your vent, not a vague report. We’ve shown Manor homeowners footage of flex duct kinked at 90-degree turns, packed solid with gray construction dust, or sagging between joists where lint has formed a dense mat. You see it. We explain it. Then you decide.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Manor
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Manor serves the laundromats, apartment complexes, and hospitality businesses that have opened along Highway 290 and FM 973 to serve the booming population. These systems run harder and longer than residential units, with multiple dryers tied into common vent manifolds that accumulate lint at junction points. Our commercial service includes full-system agitation cleaning with Rotobrush rotary tools and Nikro negative-air equipment, plus airflow testing before and after to document improvement. Commercial dryer vent cleaning in Manor typically ranges from $350 – $650 depending on the number of drops, total duct length, and access difficulty.
Multi-Unit Properties
Apartment complexes in Manor’s newer developments often share vent manifolds between four to eight units. One blocked drop restricts airflow for the entire bank, extending dry times and raising fire risk across multiple tenant units. We clean each drop individually and test the manifold for proper draw.
Business Compliance Documentation
Commercial properties need records for insurance and fire marshal inspections. We provide before-and-after photos, airflow readings in CFM, and a written service report that documents the work for your files. No hand-scribbled receipt that won’t satisfy an auditor.
Trusted Brands We Service in Manor
Our equipment comes from manufacturers that commercial crews rely on: Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation inside the vent, Nikro negative-air machines for controlled debris extraction, and filtration components from Honeywell and Aprilaire that meet the same standards used in hospitals and cleanrooms. We stock common vent caps, bird guards, and transition fittings for Manor customers, so replacements don’t delay your job waiting on parts. If your vent run needs rerouting or a cap upgrade, we typically complete it same visit.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Manor Homes
- Construction debris in new vents. Builders in Manor’s fast-track subdivisions rarely clean drywall dust from the vent run before handover. Within six to twelve months, that dust combines with lint to form a dense blockage that restricts airflow and triggers dryer error codes.
- Kinked flexible duct in hot attics. The flex duct routed through Manor’s attics gets kinked at sharp turns near roof jacks, especially in ShadowGlen and Lagos homes where builders prioritized speed over proper installation. Lint accumulates at these kinks until the vent is nearly sealed shut.
- Condensation and mold in attic runs. Manor’s humid Blackland Prairie climate means hot attic air hits the cooler lint coating inside flex duct, causing condensation that wets the lint layer and promotes mold growth. Homeowners smell musty odors before they notice longer dry times.
- Improper exterior caps. Cheap builder-grade vent caps in Manor’s new construction often have flimsy flaps that stick open or closed, letting in birds and wasps or trapping humid air inside the vent. We replace these with proper caps during cleaning.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Manor, TX
Honest pricing means ranges you can plan around, not a low number that doubles at your door. In Manor’s market, residential dryer vent cleaning typically runs $150 – $280 for a standard single-family system with accessible exterior termination. Commercial systems range $350 – $650 based on drops, duct length, and whether we need lift equipment for multi-story runs. Factors that push toward the higher end: vent runs over 25 feet, multiple sharp turns, attic access requiring protective setup, or significant construction debris removal requiring extended agitation time.
We give you one flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts. No per-foot add-ons, no “surprise, you need this too” at the door. Estimates are free. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll quote your specific setup.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Manor
Builders in Manor’s fast-track subdivisions rarely clean construction debris from the dryer vent run before handover. Drywall dust, wood chips, and packaging materials pack into the flexible duct, then combine with normal lint to block airflow within the first year. A homeowner in Lagos called us after their new-build dryer started throwing a “restricted airflow” error just eight months after move-in. Our tech pulled the flexible vent run in the attic and found it packed with drywall dust and lint from construction, kinked at a sharp bend near the roof jack. We used agitation tools and a HEPA-filtered vacuum to clear the entire lint pathway, then ran a camera inspection to confirm the vent was clear – no more error codes and the dryer dried a full load in one cycle. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection before your builder warranty expires.
For most Manor homes, every 12 to 18 months is the right interval, but new construction should be inspected at 6 months due to construction debris risk. Homes with multiple laundry loads daily, long flex duct runs through hot attics, or pets that shed heavily may need cleaning every 9 to 12 months. The lint pathway clogs faster in Manor’s new subdivisions than in older neighborhoods with shorter, straight vent runs. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll recommend an interval based on your specific setup.
Our inspection includes visual examination of the exterior cap and transition duct, camera inspection of the full lint pathway from dryer to termination, airflow measurement in CFM, and a written report with photos. We check for proper duct material (rigid metal versus dangerous flex), correct slope for drainage, and signs of heat damage or mold. The inspection fee applies toward cleaning if you proceed. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
Yes. Lint is highly combustible, and a restricted vent forces the dryer to run hotter and longer. The U.S. Fire Administration reports thousands of dryer fires annually, with failure to clean as the leading cause. In Manor’s new homes, the added construction debris accelerates blockage beyond normal lint accumulation, raising fire risk in homes that owners assume are problem-free. We never recommend DIY cleaning for vent runs that pass through walls or attics, improper reassembly can create gaps that leak carbon monoxide into living spaces. Call (361) 326-5060 for professional service.
Yes. We clean commercial dryer vent systems for laundromats, apartment complexes, hotels, and assisted living facilities throughout Manor and the eastern Austin metro. Commercial jobs include multi-drop manifolds, rooftop terminations, and compliance documentation for insurance and fire inspections. Pricing starts at $350 for smaller systems. Call (361) 326-5060 for a commercial estimate.
