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 North Lauderdale
Dryer vent cleaning in North Lauderdale typically costs $180 – $340 for a standard residential system, and most jobs take 60 – 90 minutes from arrival to final test cycle. If your dryer takes two cycles to dry a load, or if you haven’t had the vent inspected in over a year, the vent run is likely packed with lint and corrosion from our humid subtropical climate.
We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we’ve been working in Broward County since 2004. Our crews serve North Lauderdale from our South Florida dispatch office, which means we know the local housing stock: the compact ranch subdivisions off McNab Road, the townhome clusters near Hampton Pines Park, and the 1960s – 70s developments along SW 81st Avenue where original galvanized dryer vents are still in place. We answer calls live, 24 hours a day, at (361) 326-5060. You’ll speak to a person, not a voicemail loop.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is North Lauderdale’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
North Lauderdale homeowners call us because we show up inside the quoted window, price the job in writing before touching anything, and leave the site clean. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how every Hollis location operates, independently owned and accountable.
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 and Nikro, the same rotary brush systems and negative-air machines that commercial crews rely on, not hardware-store attachments.
Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. No negotiation, no runaround.
We understand North Lauderdale’s specific problems: afternoon thunderstorms that push water through aging roof vents into attic duct runs, rusted galvanized steel that catches lint faster than modern aluminum, and the mold blooms that follow every summer storm season. Local knowledge means we check what out-of-town crews miss.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in North Lauderdale
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in North Lauderdale covers multi-unit townhome complexes, property management portfolios, and small commercial laundry operations where blocked vents create fire code violations and insurance liabilities. We price these jobs by the system count, not by the hour, and we provide written documentation for property managers who need records for their files.
A typical commercial dryer vent cleaning in North Lauderdale runs $280 – $520 per system depending on run length, access difficulty, and whether the vent shares walls with neighboring units. We inspect the full lint pathway first, map shared wall penetrations, and clean under negative pressure so debris stays contained.
Multi-Unit Townhome Complexes
Many North Lauderdale townhome developments built in the 1970s have dryer vents that share exterior walls or vent in parallel runs. Our crew maps the full pathway before starting, seals adjacent openings, and cleans each run independently so lint and moisture don’t migrate between units.
Property Management Documentation
We provide before-and-after photos, written condition reports, and maintenance interval recommendations for every commercial job. Property managers in North Lauderdale use these records for insurance renewals and resident communications.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in North Lauderdale
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in North Lauderdale addresses the specific failure modes of our local housing stock: original galvanized steel vent runs that have corroded from the inside out, lint packed with rust flakes, and mold from storm leaks that techs from other markets don’t expect to find. We don’t just vacuum the outside hood. We inspect the full run with a camera, agitate caked debris with rotary brushes under negative pressure, and capture everything in HEPA filtration.
A standard residential Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in North Lauderdale costs $180 – $280. If we find a rusted or collapsed section that needs replacement, vent rerouting, or bird guard installation, those services run $220 – $340 depending on material and access difficulty. We write the price down before any work starts. It does not move at the door.
Camera Inspection and Agitation Cleaning
We thread a camera down every vent run first. In North Lauderdale’s older galvanized systems, we regularly find lint caked with rust at the elbows and horizontal sections where moisture settles. Our Rotobrush agitation tools break that layer loose while Nikro negative-air machines pull it directly into HEPA filtration, not into your attic or wall cavity.
Vent Rerouting and Component Replacement
When original galvanized runs have torn seams or collapsed sections, we reroute with modern aluminum pipe, replace damaged transition hoses, and install proper vent caps with bird guards. The new price is written before we cut anything.
Trusted Brands We Service in North Lauderdale
We stock parts and maintain equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman, which means North Lauderdale customers don’t wait for special orders on standard repairs. Our rotary brush systems and negative-air machines are professional-grade tools, the same ones commercial crews use, and we keep common vent caps, transition hoses, and bird guards on the truck. If your dryer vent needs a component we don’t stock, we’ll tell you before we start and give you a written price for the full job including the part. No surprises, no callbacks.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in North Lauderdale Homes
- Rusted galvanized runs that collapse during cleaning. In North Lauderdale’s 1960s – 70s ranch subdivisions, original steel dryer vents have corroded from the inside out. A tech using too much pressure can tear a seam and send lint into the attic or wall cavity instead of the collection unit. We inspect first, then match our agitation pressure to the pipe’s actual condition.
- Storm water in attic vent runs. Afternoon thunderstorms push water through aging roof vents into attic ductwork. Crews that don’t check insulation and pipe joints after a storm miss active mold blooms growing inside the duct. We inspect attic runs as standard practice in North Lauderdale.
- Lint packed at elbows in tight 4-inch runs. Original North Lauderdale systems with multiple elbows and long horizontal sections trap lint at the bends. A surface vacuum at the outside hood without camera inspection or agitation tools leaves that packed material behind, the leading fire factor in residential dryer vents.
- Shared walls in townhome complexes. In compact North Lauderdale townhome developments, dryer vents often share exterior walls or vent adjacent to a neighbor’s run. Improper cleaning can spread lint or moisture between units if the tech doesn’t map the full lint pathway first.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in North Lauderdale
Every 12 months. North Lauderdale’s combination of high humidity, year-round HVAC use, and corroding galvanized steel means lint catches and packs faster than in newer systems or drier climates. Homes near open land or unpaved roads may need inspection at 10 months due to additional dust loading. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
Our relative humidity stays above 70% most of the year, and afternoon thunderstorms drive moisture into attic vent runs through aging roof caps. That moisture mixes with lint to form dense, caked layers that don’t blow out with normal dryer airflow. The corrosion inside original galvanized pipe adds rough surfaces that grab lint. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection.
Yes, when the full pathway is mapped first. We camera-inspect shared-wall systems, seal adjacent openings before agitation cleaning, and use controlled negative pressure so debris stays in our collection unit, not your neighbor’s wall cavity. We write the approach and price down before starting. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss your specific layout.
Camera inspection of the full run, Rotobrush agitation to break loose caked rust-lint layers, Nikro negative-air extraction into HEPA filtration, airflow test before and after, and written condition report with photo documentation. If we find torn seams or collapsed sections, we’ll show you the camera image and give you a written price for repair or rerouting before any additional work. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Yes, significantly. Attic-exit vents in North Lauderdale regularly show water staining and mold in the insulation around the pipe joint after summer storms. We inspect attic insulation and pipe condition as standard practice, not as an upsell. If we find active moisture or mold, we’ll document it and give you options. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
