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.

We’ve worked the east shore of Lake Ray Hubbard long enough to know that Rowlett’s dryer vent problems aren’t always lint problems. The black gumbo clay under this city shifts with every drought-flood cycle, and that movement separates or crushes vent runs in slab-on-grade homes built during the 1980s through 2000s suburban boom. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team carries inspection cameras on every truck because a brush-and-vac won’t fix a disconnected collar, and we document what we find so you can see it yourself.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Rowlett’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Hollis has been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our crews have cleared, inspected, and reconnected dryer vents across Rowlett’s neighborhoods from Waterview to Lakeshore Estates to the older pockets near downtown. We don’t quote one price on the phone and deliver another at the door. The price is written down before any work starts, and it doesn’t move.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and expected to operate by The Garrison Code: arrive inside the quoted window, price in writing, complete the job by the book, and leave the site clean.

Dryer Vent Inspection in Rowlett
Dryer Vent Inspection in Rowlett starts with understanding that this city’s soil is actively working against your vent run. A typical inspection for a Rowlett home runs $75 – $125, and it’s the single most important step before any cleaning begins. We feed a lighted camera through the full lint pathway from the dryer connection to the exterior cap, looking for disconnected collars, crushed flex where the slab has shifted, low spots from sagging attic runs, and wet-packed lint from past water intrusion.
Camera Findings We Document
Every inspection produces video the homeowner can review. We mark timestamps where the run separates from the collar, where clay-shifted foundations have pinched the flex, or where attic heat degradation has created a sag. This documentation matters for insurance claims when storm water has entered the chase, and it prevents us from charging cleaning prices for a problem that actually requires reconnection or replacement.
When Rowlett Homes Need Inspection First
Clothes taking two cycles to dry after the fall rains. A burning smell that isn’t quite lint. A dryer that’s hot to the touch but the load stays damp. These are the calls we get from Chiesa Road, from Lakeshore Drive, from the subdivisions off Highway 66. In Rowlett, these symptoms often trace back to clay-shifted disconnections, not simple clogs. We inspect first so we don’t waste your money cleaning a run that’s physically broken.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Rowlett
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Rowlett covers multi-unit properties, laundromats, apartment complexes, and homeowner association laundry rooms where accumulated lint creates fire risk and code liability. A typical commercial job in Rowlett runs $300 – $650 depending on run length, access difficulty, and whether the system serves multiple dryers through a common chase. We schedule these during off-hours to avoid disrupting operations, and we provide written documentation of completion for property managers and insurers.
Multi-Unit System Requirements
Commercial dryer vent systems in Rowlett’s apartment complexes and townhome developments often share common chases that compound lint accumulation. Our Nikro negative-air machines pull debris from these runs without dislodging it into occupied units, and we inspect the full length to identify where shared chases have separated or where roof-mounted caps have failed.
Documentation for Property Managers
Every commercial job concludes with a written report and timestamped photos. Property managers in Rowlett use these for insurance renewals, fire marshal inspections, and tenant liability records. We keep copies on file so you don’t have to track down paperwork from last year’s service.
Trusted Brands We Service in Rowlett
Our trucks carry professional-grade equipment from Nikro, Honeywell, and Abatement Technologies, the same tools commercial crews use, not hardware-store attachments. We stock replacement caps, bird guards, and flex transitions for Rowlett homes so most repairs don’t require a return trip. When a vent cap on a Rowlett lakefront home has corroded from constant humidity off Lake Ray Hubbard, we replace it with a corrosion-resistant model rated for North Texas conditions. Our Aprilaire filtration products integrate with whole-home systems where duct cleaning and dryer vent work overlap.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Rowlett Homes
- Clay-shifted slab disconnections. After a drought summer followed by heavy fall rains, Rowlett’s black gumbo clay moves enough to separate dryer vent collars from slab-on-grade foundations. The dryer still runs, but moist air dumps into the wall cavity instead of exiting the home.
- Attic flex degradation from 140°F+ summers. Rowlett attic temperatures cook flex duct runs until they sag, creating low spots where lint pools even when the trap is cleaned after every load. These sag points don’t clear with standard brushing without camera-guided agitation.
- Wet-packed lint from storm intrusion. When wind-driven rain enters a vent cap on a Rowlett lakefront property, lint absorbs water and compresses into a dense plug that feels like a normal clog until the run is opened and the saturated material is source-removed under negative pressure.
- Bird guard failures and cap corrosion. The humid air off Lake Ray Hubbard accelerates corrosion on standard vent caps, and failed bird guards invite nesting that blocks the run entirely. We replace these with corrosion-resistant models during cleaning service.

What moves the price: length of run, number of turns, attic versus slab access, whether the vent is shared in a multi-unit chase, and whether inspection reveals damage requiring repair rather than cleaning alone.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Rowlett
If your dryer suddenly needs two cycles after a rain event, the vent run is more likely disconnected at the collar than clogged with lint. A standard clog develops gradually; a clay-shifted disconnection happens after the soil swells. We run a camera inspection to confirm before cleaning, and we show you the video. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
Sometimes. If water entered the chase and wet-packed lint into a dense plug, we can often source-remove the saturated material under negative pressure and restore airflow. If the water intrusion has degraded the flex duct itself, or if mold has established in the material, replacement is the honest recommendation. We document the condition with camera footage so your insurer can see why replacement was necessary. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection.
It affects both. The same black gumbo clay that disconnects air duct runs under Rowlett slabs also shifts the shorter dryer vent collars. The difference is that dryer vent runs are smaller diameter and less forgiving of separation. An eight-inch gap at a duct collar might still pass some air; the same gap in a four-inch dryer vent blocks almost all exhaust. We find this failure mode far more often on Rowlett’s east shore than in stable-soil suburbs to the north.
We feed a lighted camera from the dryer connection through the full run to the exterior cap, recording video you can review. We note disconnected collars, crushed flex, sag points, corrosion, cap failure, and any evidence of past water intrusion. The inspection takes 20 – 30 minutes, produces documented findings, and prevents us from charging cleaning prices for a problem that needs repair. Call (361) 326-5060 to book.
We clean both. Commercial dryer vent systems in Rowlett apartment complexes, laundromats, and HOA laundry rooms require scheduled maintenance for fire code compliance and insurance coverage. We work off-hours, document completion in writing, and scale our equipment to multi-unit shared chases. Call (361) 326-5060 for a commercial estimate.
We were called to a mid-1980s slab-on-grade home off Chiesa Road near the lake where the homeowner reported clothes taking two full cycles to dry. Our tech pulled a camera inspection through the lint pathway and found the flex run crushed and disconnected at the collar where the foundation had shifted after the fall rains – the run had separated about eight inches from where it should have been seated. We reconnected the run, ran agitation tools through the length, and pulled the accumulated lint out under negative pressure so the dryer could breathe again.
