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 Wellington
Dryer vent cleaning in Wellington, FL typically runs $150 – $275 for a standard single-family home and should include a camera inspection of the full lint pathway, not just the trap. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our crews serve Wellington from our Miami office, dispatching background-checked, uniformed technicians to neighborhoods from Palm Beach Point to Saddle Trail. If your dryer is taking two cycles to finish a load, or you smell mustiness even after clearing the lint trap, the problem is almost certainly in the vent run itself. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
Wellington isn’t like inland Florida markets. Our year-round humidity, coastal salt air, and unique equestrian environment create dryer vent problems you won’t find in drier parts of the state. Lint here doesn’t stay loose and fluffy. It mats into dense, damp clumps that cling to duct walls and resist basic vacuum passes. That’s why our Dryer Vent Cleaning team treats Wellington homes differently, and it’s why we always run a camera before we quote and after we finish.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Wellington’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our Wellington customers return because we show up inside the window, price in writing, and leave the site clean. The Garrison Standard isn’t a slogan. It’s a checklist: arrive when we said we would, write the price before touching anything, complete the job by the book, and back it with the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday for someone to pick up.
We know Wellington’s housing stock. Large Mediterranean and contemporary homes built from the 1980s through the 2020s, many with multi-zone HVAC and extensive ductwork. Homes near stables in Palm Beach Point and Saddle Trail pull in arena sand and horse dander through the return side. That debris doesn’t stay in the air ducts. It migrates into dryer vent runs, fuses with damp lint, and creates the stubborn clogs that slow drying times and create fire hazards.
Dispatch and scheduling for our Wellington service calls are coordinated from our Miami office, with crews serving the local area directly. We don’t subcontract. We don’t send day laborers. We send Hollis technicians with Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and HEPA filtration from brands like Abatement Technologies. The same tools commercial crews use, explained in plain terms on every job.
Dryer Vent Repair in Wellington
Dryer Vent Repair in Wellington addresses the physical damage that humidity, age, and improper installation cause to vent runs, caps, and connections. When a vent run is crushed behind the dryer, disconnected at a joint, or corroded from years of damp coastal air, cleaning alone won’t solve the problem. The vent needs repair or replacement. In Wellington’s market, Dryer Vent Repair typically runs $200 – $450 depending on run length, accessibility, and whether we need to replace the exterior cap or reroute a section through an attic or crawl space.
Crushed or Disconnected Runs
We see this constantly in Wellington homes where the dryer has been pushed too close to the wall, pinching the flexible transition duct. The dryer still runs, but exhaust can’t escape. Lint backs up into the machine and the wall cavity. We replace crushed sections with rigid metal ducting, secure joints with proper fasteners, and restore the full airflow path.
Corroded Caps and Exterior Damage
Coastal humidity attacks exterior vent caps. The flapper sticks open, letting rain and insects in, or sticks closed, trapping moist exhaust. We install replacement caps with bird guards and proper backdraft dampers, sealed to keep Wellington’s driving rains out during hurricane season.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Wellington
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Wellington means a crew that understands why local conditions demand more than a shop-vac and a brush. At Hollis, we clean the full lint pathway from the dryer connection to the exterior cap, using camera verification before and after. A standard cleaning in Wellington runs $150 – $275; homes with longer runs, multiple bends, or severe clogs from sand-and-hair buildup may reach $300 – $400. We write the price before we start, and it doesn’t move at the door.
Camera Inspection and Source Removal
We run a borescope camera into the vent run to see what we’re dealing with. In Wellington, we often find lint fused with arena sand and horsehair into dense, damp mats that a basic vacuum won’t touch. We use rotary agitation tools to break these clumps free, then extract them with negative-air HEPA filtration. The camera goes back in to prove the run is clear. That’s source removal. Anything less leaves the fire hazard and the slow-drying problem in place.
What We Don’t Do
We don’t sell fogging “sanitizer” upsells as a substitute for real cleaning. In Wellington’s humidity, masking a musty smell with chemical fog doesn’t remove the damp lint feeding microbial growth. The smell returns in weeks. We remove the source, verify with the camera, and guarantee the work for 365 days.
Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for controlled extraction, and HEPA filtration from Abatement Technologies. For homes with integrated filtration or air purification, we work with Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman components. We stock common vent caps, transition ducts, and bird guard fittings for Wellington’s coastal conditions, so most repairs don’t require a return trip. When a Palm Beach Point homeowner needs a corrosion-resistant cap that won’t stick after the next humid summer, we have it on the van.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Damp lint clumping in the full run, not just the trap. Wellington’s year-round AC load and coastal humidity keep vent runs damp for months. Lint mats into rigid, sticky clumps along the 12-plus feet inside the wall. The lint trap looks fine. The dryer still takes two cycles. The real blockage is hidden and hazardous.
- Arena sand and horsehair fused to duct walls. In neighborhoods near equestrian facilities, fine sand and animal dander get pulled through HVAC returns and migrate into dryer vents. This debris fuses with damp lint into a concrete-like mass that survives basic vacuum passes. Camera inspection finds it. Rotary agitation removes it.
- Musty smells that return after trap cleaning. Homeowners clean the lint trap, smell mustiness anyway, and assume the dryer is broken. The smell is microbial growth on damp lint deeper in the run. Fogging masks it. Source removal fixes it. Wellington’s humidity grows it back fast if any lint remains.
- Post-hurricane-season water intrusion and debris. Driving rains and wind-driven debris enter damaged or missing vent caps. We inspect caps as standard procedure during Wellington cleanings, especially from October through December when hurricane season has stressed exterior components.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wellington
It’s almost always a vent problem, not the dryer itself. When exhaust airflow is restricted by lint buildup, moist air can’t escape the drum. Clothes stay damp. The heating element works overtime. In Wellington, the culprit is often damp, compacted lint fused with sand or hair deep in the run, not just a full lint trap. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll camera-inspect to confirm.
Yes. In neighborhoods like Palm Beach Point and Saddle Trail, fine arena sand and horsehair enter through HVAC returns, circulate through the home, and migrate into the dryer vent. There they fuse with humid lint into dense clumps that basic cleaning won’t remove. We see it regularly and equip our vans specifically to break up and extract this Wellington-specific debris.
The smell comes from microbial growth on damp lint deeper in the vent run, where Wellington’s humidity keeps it wet year-round. Cleaning the trap doesn’t reach it. Fogging chemicals mask the smell temporarily but leave the food source. We perform source removal with camera verification, then confirm the run is actually clear, not just deodorized.
Both timing have merit. Pre-season cleaning ensures your vent cap and run are clear before systems work hardest. Post-season inspection catches water intrusion, debris, or cap damage from summer storms. Many Wellington homeowners schedule annual cleanings in early fall to address both. We inspect caps as standard procedure either way.
Demand before-and-after camera footage. A proper cleaning shows the full run, not just the trap, with lint and debris removed from the entire pathway. We provide this on every job. We also test airflow at the exterior cap and confirm the dryer’s internal temperature returns to manufacturer spec. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers you if anything fails within the year. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
