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 Van Alstyne
Dryer vent cleaning in Van Alstyne typically runs $150 – $275 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs take 60 to 90 minutes from arrival to finish. If your dryer is taking two cycles to dry a load, or you’re noticing a burnt-lint smell near the laundry room, the vent is likely clogged and needs attention before it becomes a fire hazard.
We’re the Dryer Vent Cleaning crew that serves Van Alstyne out of our Dallas-Fort Worth dispatch office, with technicians who know the local housing stock from Stonebridge to Mantua to the older ranch places near downtown. Van Alstyne’s rapid growth means we’re out here weekly, clearing construction debris from vents in new builds and pulling years of packed lint from systems in homes that haven’t been serviced since the previous owner. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate, or read on to see exactly how we handle the job and what you’ll pay.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Van Alstyne’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our reputation in Van Alstyne is built on showing up inside the window we quoted, pricing in writing before we touch anything, and leaving the site clean. That discipline is The Garrison Standard, and it’s why homeowners here call us back when they move to a bigger place in a new subdivision.
Our response time to Van Alstyne is typically same-week scheduling, often within two to three days of your call, because we route technicians through the US 75 corridor regularly. You won’t wait two weeks for an opening.
Local knowledge matters on this job. We know that in Van Alstyne’s newer construction, builders sometimes run dryer vents with excessive flex duct or too many elbows to squeeze through tight framing, which creates lint traps that standard cleaning can’t reach. Our crews carry the right tools, including Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air equipment, to handle those problem runs without cutting into your wall.
Every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and bound by The Garrison Code: arrive squared away, explain what you’re doing, price it before you start, finish by the book. Roy Castellanos, who leads Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, built this operation on the principle that a written guarantee beats a handshake every time.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Van Alstyne
Dryer Vent Inspection in Van Alstyne is the first step we take on every service call, whether you booked a full cleaning or just want to know if your system is safe to run. Our technician arrives with a written price sheet, examines the full vent run from the back of your dryer to the exterior cap, checks for proper airflow with an anemometer, and looks for crushed flex duct, bird nests, or disconnected joints. A standalone inspection in Van Alstyne runs $89 – $125; if you proceed with cleaning, we apply that fee toward the job.
What We Check During the Inspection
We measure airflow at the exterior cap, inspect the transition duct behind the dryer for kinks or foil tape failures, and use a borescope on longer runs to spot internal buildup you can’t see from either end. In Van Alstyne’s newer subdivisions, we also check whether the vent terminates through the roof or sidewall correctly, since some builders have used suboptimal routing that traps lint.
When to Schedule an Inspection
Book an inspection if your dryer is over a year past its last cleaning, if you’ve just bought a home and have no service history, or if you notice any hot, humid air backing into the laundry room while the dryer runs. For homes near the active construction zones along US 75, we also recommend an inspection if you’ve had recent roofing or siding work that may have disturbed the exterior vent cap.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Van Alstyne
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Van Alstyne covers multi-unit laundry facilities, apartment complexes, and commercial laundromats along the US 75 corridor and in the growing retail areas near FM 121. These systems handle far higher volumes than residential units, with vents that often run vertically through multiple stories or across long horizontal distances in ceiling plenums. Our commercial cleaning in Van Alstyne starts at $350 for small multi-family setups and ranges to $800+ for larger facilities with multiple dryers and complex duct networks.
Multi-Unit and Laundromat Service
We clean the full trunk line serving multiple dryers, not just the individual drops, because lint accumulates in the main run where individual tenants can’t reach. Our Nikro negative-air machines create suction that pulls debris back toward the collection point rather than pushing it deeper into the system. We work with property managers to schedule during low-usage hours to avoid tenant disruption.
Code Compliance and Documentation
Commercial dryer vent systems in Texas fall under fire code requirements for annual inspection and cleaning in many occupancy types. We provide written documentation of the work performed, including before-and-after airflow readings, for your insurance or fire marshal records. Roy Castellanos and our team have handled this paperwork for property managers across Collin and Grayson counties, so we know what your underwriter needs to see.
Trusted Brands We Service in Van Alstyne
We clean and service dryer vent systems connected to every major appliance brand found in Van Alstyne homes, including Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE, and Maytag units. Our trucks stock replacement vent caps, bird guards, and transition ducts from Guardsman and Abatement Technologies, so if your exterior cap is cracked or your flex duct is foil-wrapped fire hazard, we can fix it on the spot without a return trip. That matters in Van Alstyne, where a broken vent cap during pollen season or after a hail event can let water, insects, or attic dust straight into your system. We carry the parts to finish the job in one visit.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Van Alstyne Homes
- New construction debris in the vent run. In Van Alstyne’s subdivisions like Stonebridge and Mantua, we’ve pulled drywall dust, wood shavings, and even discarded lunch wrappers from dryer vents in homes less than five years old. Builders don’t always protect the duct during construction, and that debris restricts airflow from day one.
- Excessive flex duct creating lint traps. Some Van Alstyne builders use long runs of flexible foil or plastic duct to navigate tight framing, especially in two-story plans where the laundry room sits far from an exterior wall. Every rib in that flex collects lint; we replace it with smooth metal where possible.
- Humid summer conditions slowing drying times. Van Alstyne’s hot, humid summers from May through September mean your dryer already works harder to evaporate moisture. A partially clogged vent in July can push drying times past two hours per load, spiking your electric bill and wearing out the heating element.
- Bird and insect intrusion through damaged caps. The open fields and developing lots around Van Alstyne attract birds that nest in uncovered vents, and we’ve found complete blockages from mud-dauber wasps in homes near still-undeveloped parcels. Our bird guard installation prevents this.
