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 River Oaks, TX
Air duct cleaning in River Oaks typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we specialize in the postwar ranch homes that make up nearly all of River Oaks’ housing stock. These 1950s – 1970s properties run original galvanized steel or early flexible duct systems that weren’t built for modern HVAC loads, so our work here is restoration, not maintenance on new construction. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why River Oaks Homes Are Different
River Oaks is fully built out. There is virtually no new construction, which means every duct cleaning job we dispatch here is a retrofit on decades-old infrastructure. The dominant housing type is the single-story ranch on a small lot, built during the 1950s through 1970s with low-pitched roofs and attics that exceed 140°F on North Texas summer afternoons.
Those original galvanized steel trunks are our main concern. In River Oaks’ cookie-cutter tract plans, the duct layouts are predictable, but the condition of the metal is not. We’ve found pinhole rust leaks hidden behind blown-in attic insulation that a surface inspection would never catch. A technician who doesn’t lift the insulation and trace the trunk line misses the largest source of duct loss and the reason the homeowner called in the first place.
The local climate compounds this. River Oaks sits in the humid subtropical zone, so HVAC systems run almost year-round, pulling in heavy spring pollen, summer dust, and fall mold spores. High humidity creates condensation inside poorly sealed older ducts, making microbial growth a recurring issue we address with every cleaning.
Our Main River Oaks Services
Homeowners in River Oaks call us for three core services. Each has its own dedicated page with full pricing and technical detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in River Oaks
Our Air Duct Cleaning in River Oaks service targets the dust, pollen, and microbial buildup that accumulates in original galvanized and flex duct systems. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines to agitate and extract debris from duct walls without damaging aging metal. In River Oaks’ tight attics, we work methodically around blown-in insulation to access trunk lines that franchise crews often skip.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in River Oaks
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in River Oaks addresses the extended vent runs common in 1960s ranch layouts, where dryers sit in interior utility closets and exhaust through long horizontal lines under the slab or through the roof. These configurations trap lint in low-velocity sections and create genuine fire hazards. We clean the full run with rotary tools and inspect termination points for proper airflow.
Duct Sealing in River Oaks
Our Duct Sealing in River Oaks focuses on the pinhole rust and joint separation we find in original galvanized trunks. We apply duct sealing mastic and reinforced tape to restore airtightness without replacing functional metal. In River Oaks’ 140°F attics, this work prevents conditioned air from leaking into spaces where it does no good.
