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 Pomona
Dryer vent cleaning in Pomona typically runs $150 – $275 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs take 60 – 90 minutes from arrival to final airflow test. We dispatch crews from our Los Angeles office and serve Pomona homes from Lincoln Park to Wilton Heights to the Phillips Ranch area, usually scheduling within a few days of your call.
We’ve worked on enough Pomona homes to know the pattern before we pull the dryer back from the wall. The stucco tracts built from the 1920s through the 1970s, especially in neighborhoods like Lincoln Park and the streets off Holt Avenue, have long galvanized vent runs with multiple elbows that terminate at low wall caps or roof jacks. The real problem is almost always the same: a foil or vinyl flex connector crushed flat against the exterior wall, pinching off airflow before lint ever reaches the pipe. That’s why your dryer takes two cycles. That’s why the laundry room walls get hot. And that’s why a quick shop-vac job from the outside doesn’t fix it. Call us at (361) 326-5060 and we’ll show you what we find on camera before we quote a price.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Pomona’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Hollis Air Duct Cleaning has been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our crews have cleared enough Pomona dryer vents to recognize a 1950s stucco tract layout blindfolded. We know the difference between a Phillips Ranch home with a short direct-vent run and a Wilton Heights original with 25 feet of galvanized pipe snaking through a soffit to a low roof cap.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and expected to operate under The Garrison Code: arrive inside the quoted window, price the job in writing before touching anything, complete the work by the book, and leave the site clean. No exceptions. 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.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday to schedule.
We don’t compete on the lowest teaser price. We compete on discipline: written price, written guarantee, and a crew that shows up squared away. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how we work in Pomona and every city we serve.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pomona
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pomona covers multi-unit laundry facilities, apartment complexes, and commercial laundromats where high-volume dryer use creates fire hazards and efficiency losses at scale. We clean the full lint pathway from the dryer connection through the booster fan to the exterior termination, using rotary brush agitation and negative-air extraction with HEPA filtration. A typical commercial dryer vent cleaning in Pomona runs $300 – $650 depending on the number of units, run length, and whether booster fans or roof terminations are involved.
Multi-Unit and Apartment Laundry Systems
Apartment conversions and older Pomona complexes near the downtown corridor often share vent runs between units, with decades of compacted lint creating back-pressure that extends dry times and overheats machines. We camera-inspect shared runs, mark problem sections, and clean with commercial-grade Nikro negative-air machines that capture lint at the source rather than blowing it into adjacent units or common areas.
Laundromat and High-Volume Facilities
Coin-op laundromats along Holt Boulevard and Mission Boulevard run dryers 12 – 16 hours daily, generating lint loads that residential methods can’t touch. We schedule around your operating hours, bring Rotobrush rotary systems sized for commercial ductwork, and provide before-and-after photos plus airflow readings documented in writing.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Pomona
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Pomona means clearing the complete lint pathway from the dryer’s rear connection to the exterior termination, then verifying airflow and documenting the results. For a standard single-family home in Pomona, this service typically costs $150 – $275. Homes with long runs, roof terminations, or bird-guard installations may run $225 – $350. We use rotary brush agitation, negative-air extraction, and camera inspection to find blockages that a surface cleaning misses.
Camera Inspection and Problem Location
We run a borescope camera down every Pomona vent run before quoting. You see what we see: crushed connectors, separated joints, rodent debris, or the baked-on lint layer that coats galvanized pipes after 40 years of use. No guesswork. The price we write down is the price you pay.
Connector Replacement and Airflow Restoration
The crushed foil connector behind the dryer is the most common failure we find in Pomona homes. We replace it with a rigid or semi-rigid metal connector that maintains its shape against the wall, then measure airflow at the exterior cap to confirm the system is breathing properly before we leave.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pomona
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for contained extraction, and Honeywell and Aprilaire filtration products that match the professional-grade standards commercial crews expect. We stock replacement vent caps, bird guards, and rigid connectors common to Pomona’s housing stock, so most connector replacements and cap swaps happen same-visit without a parts run. If your system uses Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration or Guardsman-rated components, we carry compatible fittings and document their installation in writing.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Pomona Homes
- Crushed flex connectors against stucco walls. In Pomona’s pre-1980 single-story tracts, the dryer is typically pushed tight to an exterior stucco wall, flattening the foil or vinyl flex connector into a lint trap that regenerates within months. We replace these with rigid metal connectors that hold their shape.
- Baked-on lint in original galvanized runs. Decades of heat cycling in Pomona’s 95 – 105°F summers hardens lint into a felted, dryer-sheet-stiffened layer that shop vac nozzles skip entirely. Our rotary brush systems break this loose and our Nikro negative-air machines pull it out at the wall cap.
- Long runs terminating at low roof or wall caps. The citrus-era homes in Lincoln Park and Wilton Heights often have 20 – 30 foot vent runs with multiple elbows ending at low terminations that collect debris and hide crushed sections. Camera inspection finds what exterior cleaning misses.
- Santa Ana wind debris and dust loading. After strong Santa Ana events, the fine reddish-brown silica dust from the San Gabriel Mountains coats exterior vent caps and can work into runs that already have compromised seals, accelerating blockage in homes near the 10 freeway and LA County Fairplex.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pomona
Restricted airflow is the cause, and in Pomona homes the restriction is usually a crushed flex connector behind the dryer or a partially blocked galvanized run. We camera-inspect to find the exact pinch point, then clear it and measure airflow at the exterior cap to confirm the fix. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate – we’ll ask about your vent run length and termination type so we can quote before arriving.
The Santa Ana dust itself doesn’t typically clog dryer vents, but it accelerates problems in systems that already have compromised seals or damaged caps. After strong wind events, we find exterior vent caps in Pomona homes near the 10 freeway packed with fine debris that restricts termination airflow. If your return grilles show heavy reddish loading, it’s worth having the full vent run inspected for secondary intake points where dust and lint combine. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
Original galvanized pipe can be safe if it’s intact, properly supported, and fully clear of lint buildup. In 1950s Pomona tracts, we often find the pipe itself is sound but the interior is coated with decades of baked-on lint that a shop vac can’t remove, or the run has separated joints that leak heat and moisture into wall cavities. Our camera inspection shows you the actual condition before you decide on repair versus replacement. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Homes with long galvanized runs terminating at roof caps or distant wall caps need cleaning every 12 – 18 months in Pomona’s climate, where heavy dryer use through hot summers and Santa Ana dust events accelerate accumulation. If your dryer takes longer than one cycle to dry towels or the laundry room feels unusually warm, you’re already overdue. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll schedule an inspection.
Yes. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning crews carry the same Rotobrush and Nikro equipment used for full HVAC duct cleaning, and combining both services saves you a second trip charge. Many Pomona homeowners with pre-1980 systems schedule both after a Santa Ana event, since the same dust loading that fills return grilles often indicates the whole system needs attention. We’ll quote both jobs in writing before starting either. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss package pricing.
