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.

Ocala’s housing stock tells a story that matters for dryer vents. The manufactured homes in communities like On Top of the World, the ranch-style block houses in Woodfields, and the historic bungalows near Downtown Ocala all share one trait: original venting that was never designed for modern dryers running daily loads. In Marion County’s humid subtropical climate, that lint doesn’t just collect. It compacts with moisture, creating blockages that standard brushes can’t touch. We’ve pulled nests of compacted lint from vents in Ocala homes that hadn’t been cleaned since the Reagan administration.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Ocala’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and that longevity means something in a market where fly-by-night duct cleaners slap a magnet on a van and disappear. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Ocala crews are background-checked, uniformed, and held to The Garrison Code: arrive inside the quoted window, price in writing before touching anything, leave the site clean. No exceptions.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every job in writing. If your vent blocks up again or our 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 printed on your invoice.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops, no “leave a message and we’ll call back Tuesday.” When you call (361) 326-5060, someone picks up.
Our equipment includes Nikro negative-air machines and Rotobrush rotary systems, the same tools commercial crews use in hospitals and schools. For Ocala’s older homes with galvanized vent pipe or the flexible foil runs common in manufactured housing, we match the tool to the job rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Ocala
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Ocala is what we are, and the work is straightforward: we remove lint buildup from your entire vent run, from the back of your dryer to the exterior cap, using rotary brushes and HEPA vacuuming that captures particles instead of blowing them through your laundry room. Most Ocala homeowners need this every 12 – 18 months, though homes with multiple loads daily, long vent runs, or older flexible ducting may need attention sooner. A typical cleaning in Ocala runs $120 – $220 for a standard through-wall vent up to 15 feet; longer runs, roof vents, or blockages requiring disassembly run $180 – $280.
What’s Included in the Service
We inspect the full vent path with a borescope camera where accessible, clean the lint trap housing and transition duct behind your dryer, and verify airflow with a digital anemometer before we leave. For homes in Ocala’s 55+ communities with stacked laundry closets and long horizontal runs, we check for sagging flexible duct that creates lint traps where gravity pools debris.
Signs You Need Cleaning Now
Clothes taking two cycles to dry, a dryer that’s hot to the touch, or a burning smell during operation aren’t inconveniences. They’re warnings. In Ocala’s climate, where afternoon thunderstorms spike humidity and attic temperatures exceed 130°F, a partially blocked vent turns into a fire hazard faster than most homeowners realize.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Ocala
Dryer Vent Inspection in Ocala is the diagnostic step that prevents bigger problems. We use a borescope camera to examine the full length of your vent run, checking for lint accumulation, damage, improper slope, bird nests, and the cracked vent caps we see constantly in Ocala’s older neighborhoods where UV degradation has destroyed plastic fittings. An inspection alone runs $75 – $125, though we apply that cost toward cleaning if you proceed with service the same day. Many Ocala homeowners schedule inspections before buying a home, especially in Marion County’s pre-1990s housing stock where original venting rarely meets current safety codes.
What the Camera Reveals
The borescope shows us what you can’t see: crushed flexible duct behind the dryer, joints that have separated in attic runs, or the fine equine dander and hay particles that infiltrate systems on properties east of I-75 near Ocala’s horse farms. Standard filters don’t catch this material, and it compacts with lint into dense blockages.
Inspection Reports for Real Estate
We provide written documentation with photos for home sales, insurance claims, or property management records. In Ocala’s active retirement community market, where buyers from up north often request full mechanical inspections, this documentation satisfies underwriters and buyers alike.
Trusted Brands We Service in Ocala
Our equipment roster includes Nikro negative-air machines for contained debris removal, Rotobrush rotary brush systems that scrub without damaging old galvanized pipe, and filtration products from Honeywell and Aprilaire for homes upgrading their HVAC protection. We stock common vent caps, transition ducts, and bird guard fittings locally, so replacements happen same-day rather than waiting on a parts order. For Ocala’s manufactured homes with specific venting requirements, we carry the specialized fittings those systems need instead of improvising with hardware-store adapters.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Ocala Homes
- Compacted lint from humidity cycling. Ocala’s daily summer thunderstorms drive humidity into vent systems, where moisture swells lint into dense, almost concrete-like blockages that resist standard cleaning. Our rotary brush systems break this material free before vacuuming it out completely.
- Original foil flex duct in pre-1990s homes. The ranch houses in Woodfields and manufactured homes near On Top of the World often have the thin foil transition ducts that are now fire-code prohibited. We replace these with solid metal during cleaning, written into the upfront price.
- Bird and rodent nesting in roof vents. Ocala’s mild winters mean animals stay active year-round, and uncapped roof vents on homes near Silver Springs or the Historic District become nesting sites. We install proper guards that exclude pests without blocking airflow.
- Undersized vent runs for modern dryers. Older Ocala homes were built with 3-inch vent pipe; today’s dryers need 4-inch minimum. We identify these mismatches during inspection and reroute where necessary, with pricing agreed before work starts.
