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 Redan, GA
Air duct cleaning in Redan typically runs $300 – $600 for a whole-home system, with most jobs scheduled within a few days and completed in three to five hours. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we dispatch crews to Redan from our Atlanta office, bringing Rotobrush and Nikro equipment built for the older hard-ducted systems that dominate this community. If your registers show a gray film after nearby construction, or your 1970s – 90s tract home has never had its ducts cleaned, call us at (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Redan Homes Are Different
Redan is a majority-Black unincorporated community in DeKalb County where most housing went up between the 1970s and 1990s. The typical home is a 3 – 4 bedroom ranch or two-story traditional on a 0.2 – 0.4 acre lot, with original hard-ducted HVAC runs in the attic or crawlspace. Flexible duct is rare here, which changes how we clean: rotary brush systems and negative-air machines are routed through rigid galvanized or fiberboard trunks, not pulled through collapsible flex lines.
Because Redan has no city government, there are no municipal duct-cleaning permits to navigate. DeKalb County code applies uniformly. The real local variable is the red Georgia clay. Unpaved shoulders and active construction nearby kick up fine dust that pulls straight into return air systems. We regularly hear from homeowners on South Hairston Road and along the Flakes Mill corridor who noticed a gray film on ceiling registers within weeks of a new subdivision breaking ground. That dust is not cosmetic; it loads blower motors and evaporator coils, and in humid attic ducts it can feed microbial growth.
The climate does not help. Redan sits in the humid subtropical Southeast, with summers that run May through September and push 90°F for weeks at a stretch. HVAC systems work hard here, and the temperature swing between a 140°F attic and a 72°F living space creates condensation on duct exteriors. When that moisture meets decades of accumulated dust, you get the musty, stale-AC smell that prompts a lot of our Redan calls.
Our Main Redan Services
Most Redan homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full detail, pricing, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Redan
We clean the full supply and return network: trunk lines, branch ducts, and boots, using a Rotobrush rotary brush system or Nikro negative-air machine depending on duct material and contamination level. In Redan’s 1970s – 90s ranches, we often find original fiberboard trunks that need gentler brush contact than metal. We run a Honeywell or Aprilaire filtration check while we’re in the system. Air Duct Cleaning in Redan covers the full process, what we find in local homes, and how we price it.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Redan
Dryer vent cleaning in Redan addresses the rigid or semi-rigid vent runs common in homes of this era. We remove built-up lint from the dryer connection through the exterior termination, checking for proper airflow and intact backdraft dampers. Older Redan homes sometimes have longer vent runs through crawlspaces or attics that are harder to access and more prone to sagging. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Redan has the full breakdown.
Duct Sealing in Redan
Duct sealing closes leaks at joints, seams, and connections using mastic sealant and metal-backed tape, not the failing cloth tape many original installers used. In Redan’s older hard-ducted systems, attic leaks can pull 130°F air into the supply stream in summer, or lose conditioned air entirely. We seal what we can access and flag structural issues that need repair before sealing makes sense. Duct Sealing in Redan explains when it is worth doing and when it is not.

What keeps them lower: single systems with light accumulation and good basement or closet access. Either way, the price is written down before we touch anything, and it does not move at the door.
