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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Katy, TX
Air duct cleaning in Katy typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. The work varies widely here because Katy’s housing stock spans original 1970s ranch homes, 1990s master-planned communities, and new construction still shedding construction debris from the Katy Prairie soil. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we dispatch crews to Katy from our Houston office with Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines, pricing every job in writing before we start. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Katy Homes Are Different
Katy’s explosive growth from a small rice-farming town into a sprawling Houston suburb means its housing stock is a patchwork of 1970s – 80s starter homes, 1990s – 2000s master-planned communities, and brand-new construction. Duct-cleaning needs vary block by block, from remediating decades of allergen buildup in original subdivisions to clearing construction debris from new builds.
The humid subtropical climate keeps HVAC systems running at high capacity for most of the year, creating ideal conditions for mold, mildew, and dust-mite growth inside ductwork. When humidity infiltrates leaky ducts, the problem compounds fast. Many homes, especially in older neighborhoods, still run on original flexible ductwork or ductboard that can sag, tear, or harbor mold in humid attic spaces.
Because Katy sits on the Katy Prairie, new construction often disturbs soil and vegetation, releasing fine silt and clay particles that get pulled into HVAC intakes during the building process. We’ve found many new homeowners call for duct cleaning within the first year, a pattern that’s less common in older, established suburbs. Homes in master-planned communities like Cinco Ranch or Seven Meadows frequently present different challenges than the pier-and-beam ranch homes in Old Katy, and we adjust our approach accordingly.
Our Main Katy Services
Most Katy homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with detailed pricing and local specifics.
Air Duct Cleaning in Katy
We clean the full supply and return duct network with a Rotobrush rotary brush system that loosens debris from duct walls, paired with a Nikro negative-air machine that pulls contaminants out of your home rather than redistributing them. In Katy’s older neighborhoods, we often find decades of accumulated dust, pollen, and pet dander; in newer homes, construction dust and drywall particulate are the usual culprits. Every job gets a written price before we start and is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Air Duct Cleaning in Katy
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Katy
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a leading cause of house fires, and Katy’s humidity makes clogs form faster as moist lint sticks to vent walls. We run professional augers and high-velocity air tools through the full vent run, including rooftop terminations common in newer Katy subdivisions. We also check for improper venting materials, like flexible foil ducting, that violate modern fire codes. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Katy
Duct Sealing in Katy
Leaky ducts waste 20 – 30% of conditioned air in the typical Katy home, forcing your HVAC to run longer in our brutal summers. We apply duct sealing mastic and metal-backed tape at joints and seams, then pressure-test the system to verify results. This is especially valuable in homes with attic ductwork, where Katy’s attic temperatures can exceed 140°F and every leak costs you money. Duct Sealing in Katy
