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 Savage, MD
Air duct cleaning in Savage, MD typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and is scheduled by appointment, not dispatched as an emergency. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve learned that Savage jobs aren’t like Columbia or Laurel jobs. The historic mill housing near Foundry Street, the river-valley humidity, and the tight suburban builds in Savage-Guilford each present different duct conditions that change how we approach the work. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate with a written price that won’t move once we’re on site.
Why Savage Homes Are Different
Savage sits in the humid Mid-Atlantic corridor, where summers top out muggy and winters push furnaces hard. That constant swing between heavy cooling and heating cycles forces air through ductwork more months of the year than in milder climates, and the humidity creates conditions where mold and dust mites establish themselves inside the system.
The housing stock here is genuinely mixed. Near the historic Savage Mill, we find early 1900s mill-worker cottages with original galvanized ductwork that’s often rusted through in spots or layered with debris from decades of use. In the 1950s and 60s ranches and split-levels, early flexible ductwork is common, and it’s typically brittle by now. Then there are the newer townhomes in Savage-Guilford, built tight to modern energy codes, which trap construction dust and limit natural airflow in ways that older homes don’t.
Homes near the Little Patuxent River and the historic mill district have an added factor: the river valley pulls in higher ambient humidity, and we’ve found microbial growth in those ducts that requires antimicrobial treatment beyond standard rotary brush cleaning. The Garrison Standard requires us to identify this during inspection and explain it before adding any treatment to the written quote.
Our Main Savage Services
Most Savage homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full details on how we handle local conditions.
Air Duct Cleaning in Savage
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Savage covers the full supply and return system with a Rotobrush rotary brush and negative-air extraction. In the mill cottages, we often navigate retrofitted chases and tight crawl spaces that weren’t designed for modern equipment. In newer builds, we focus on construction dust and verify that the tight envelope isn’t trapping contaminants. Every job gets a written price before we start and before-and-after photos of your own ducts.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Savage
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Savage removes lint buildup that restricts airflow and creates fire risk. In older Savage homes, vent runs are often longer and more convoluted than code would allow today, with multiple bends that trap debris. We use Nikro equipment to clear the full run and test airflow at the exterior cap. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers this work too: if airflow drops again within a year, we return at no charge.
Duct Sealing in Savage
Our Duct Sealing in Savage addresses the leaks and gaps that waste conditioned air and pull humidity into the system. This is especially relevant in the older housing stock, where mastic has dried out and metal seams have separated. We seal with professional-grade mastic and, where appropriate, aerosol-based duct sealing for hard-to-reach runs. The written quote specifies the method and the coverage area before any work begins.
