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.

Camarillo’s inland position puts it in the path of wind-driven grit that coastal Ventura County simply doesn’t see. We’ve sealed ducts in 1960s ranch homes off Carmen Drive, in the Pleasant Valley corridors, and in newer infill near the 101. We know the local housing stock, the seasonal dust patterns, and the specific failure modes that show up here.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Camarillo’s Preferred Duct Sealing Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our Camarillo customers come back because we price in writing, show up uniformed, and stand behind the work for a full year. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if a seal fails or a joint reopens, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Our technicians are background-checked and held to The Garrison Code: arrive inside the quoted window, explain what you’re paying for before touching tools, finish by the book, and leave the site clean. No callback queues, no voicemail loops, no price that moves at the door.
We’ve earned a strong local reputation in Camarillo by treating duct sealing as a mechanical repair, not a coupon upsell. Customers in the Las Posas corridor and the Mission Oaks area tell us the difference is simple: we show them the leakage with a camera, seal it with mastic and mesh, and put the guarantee in writing.
Duct Sealing Services in Camarillo
Duct Sealing Services in Camarillo address the leaky joints, corroded collars, and failed tape seams that let conditioned air escape into your attic or crawl space while pulling Santa Ana dust into your living areas. Most Camarillo homes run forced-air systems through ductwork that was never designed to hold pressure for forty or fifty years. We seal supply and return trunks, branch connections, and air-handler plenums using mastic compound reinforced with mesh tape, the same method commercial HVAC crews use. A typical whole-system duct sealing job in Camarillo runs $1,200 – $2,400 depending on accessibility and the extent of leakage we find during camera inspection.
Leak Detection and Sealing
We pressurize your duct system and use a calibrated flow hood to measure total leakage against the conditioned floor area. In Camarillo’s older tracts, we regularly see leakage rates above 30 percent, meaning nearly a third of your heated or cooled air never reaches the rooms. We mark every leak, show you the footage, and seal each joint with mastic rated for the temperature swings your attic sees.

Return-Air Plenum Repair
The return plenum is where Camarillo’s reddish field dust collects thickest, especially after October Santa Ana events. Failed foil tape at this joint pulls unfiltered attic air straight into your blower. We clean the mating surfaces first, then seal with mastic and mechanical fasteners so the joint survives the next wind season.

Duct Insulation in Camarillo
Duct Insulation in Camarillo protects against the temperature extremes that hit ductwork running through ventilated attics. In summer, your attic can reach 140 degrees; in winter, it drops near freezing. Uninsulated or poorly insulated ducts lose capacity before the air ever reaches your vents. We wrap sealed ducts with formaldehyde-free fiberglass insulation jacketed with reinforced vapor barrier, then tape every seam. A typical duct insulation job in Camarillo runs $800 – $1,800 for a standard single-system home, with larger or multi-zone systems toward the higher end.
Attic Duct Wrapping
We see a lot of original insulation in Camarillo’s 1970s and 1980s tracts that has compressed, torn, or been disturbed by rodents. Our crews remove the degraded material, verify the ducts are sealed first, then install new wrap with proper overlap and mechanical fastening. Insulating over leaks just blows your conditioned air into the insulation.
Crawl Space Duct Protection
Homes in the older Camarillo neighborhoods with raised foundations often have duct runs in crawl spaces that collect moisture and lose heat. We seal first, then insulate with closed-cell wrap that resists ground moisture and vermin intrusion.
Trusted Brands We Service in Camarillo
We stock parts and materials from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies, so most Camarillo jobs don’t wait on shipping. Honeywell media air cleaners and Aprilaire whole-home filtration integrate directly with sealed duct systems to capture the fine particulate that Santa Ana winds drive indoors. Abatement Technologies HEPA negative-air machines run during our sealing work to keep dust out of your living space while we’re in the attic or crawl space. If your system needs a filtration upgrade after sealing, we can usually install it the same visit.
Common Duct Sealing Problems We See in Camarillo Homes
- Foil tape failure on galvanized steel joints. The original tape on 1960s – 1980s Camarillo tract ductwork dries and peels within one or two Santa Ana seasons. We remove it entirely and seal with mastic, which flexes with temperature swings and bonds to metal even with surface oxidation.
- Corrosion pinholes in rigid steel trunk lines. Decades of condensation and dust create pinhole leaks that a smoke pencil won’t find but a pressure test will. We camera-inspect every trunk before sealing to locate these hidden failures.
- Sagging flexible duct near the 101 corridor. Newer Camarillo infill homes often have flex duct that has pulled loose from collars or been compressed by storage in the attic. We support, reconnect, and seal these runs with proper straps and mastic.
- Return-air leaks pulling attic dust. The biggest dust source in Camarillo homes isn’t the supply vents, it’s the return side sucking unfiltered attic air through gaps at the air handler. Sealing here stops the reddish grit trail at its source.
Pricing for Duct Sealing in Camarillo, CA
A typical whole-system duct sealing in Camarillo runs $1,200 – $2,400. Duct insulation adds $800 – $1,800. What moves you within these ranges: the total linear feet of ductwork, whether we need to access a finished attic or tight crawl space, and how many leaks we find during pressure testing. We do not price per vent or per linear foot. We give one flat price per system, agreed in writing before any work starts. That price does not change when we find an extra leak or a corroded joint. Every estimate is free, and every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.

FAQs About Duct Sealing in Camarillo
Camarillo sits far enough inland that the Conejo Grade funnels Santa Ana winds straight through the city, carrying fine reddish field dust that coastal towns simply don’t see. This grit loads return-air plenums every October through December and bypasses leaky joints to coat blower motors and registers. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free inspection if you’re seeing that distinctive reddish film.
Yes, if the sealing targets the return side where unfiltered attic air enters. Sealing supply vents alone won’t stop dust infiltration. We pressure-test to find every return leak, seal with mastic, and verify with a second test. The dust that enters after that comes through your normal intake filter, not through gaps in the ductwork. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote.
Most can be sealed if the metal is structurally intact. We camera-inspect for corrosion pinholes and joint separation. If the trunk line has widespread thinning or collapse, we’ll show you the footage and quote replacement for that section. Sealing is usually viable and far less invasive than full replacement. Call (361) 326-5060 for a camera inspection.
No. Fogging treatments do not seal leaky joints, and they do nothing to stop Santa Ana dust from re-entering through the same gaps within weeks. We don’t sell fogging upsells. If microbial growth is present, we address the moisture source and clean mechanically. The real fix for Camarillo’s dust problem is sealing the leaks that let it in. Call (361) 326-5060 for a sealing estimate instead.
Every five to seven years, or sooner if you notice dust increase, uneven heating, or rising energy bills after a Santa Ana season. The thermal and particulate stress here is harder on seals than in coastal climates. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers any failure within the first year, and we recommend a pressure test at your next scheduled HVAC service after that. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule a check.
