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 Scottdale, GA
Air duct cleaning in Scottdale, GA typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and is scheduled by appointment with a written price locked in before work begins. Hollis Air Duct Cleaning serves Scottdale homes with the same discipline we apply across the Garrison Partners family: arrive inside the window, price it in writing, do it by the book, and leave the site clean. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate. Scottdale’s location under the Hartsfield-Jackson flight path and its mix of 1950s – 1970s ranch homes with original galvanized ductwork create conditions we don’t see in neighboring Decatur or Clarkston. That matters when we’re choosing between a rotary brush system and negative-air method for your particular home.
Why Scottdale Homes Are Different
Scottdale sits in a pocket of DeKalb County that most Atlanta metro residents drive past without noticing, but its geography writes the script for every duct cleaning job we do here. The city lies directly under the approach and departure corridors of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, one of the world’s busiest. Our technicians regularly open ductwork in Scottdale homes and find a distinctive gray-black ultrafine soot coating the interior walls. This isn’t ordinary household dust. It’s jet exhaust particulate that settles into HVAC systems running constantly from March through October in this humid subtropical climate.
The housing stock compounds the challenge. Scottdale’s core neighborhoods are built out with 1950s – 1970s ranch homes and modest brick bungalows, many still running original galvanized steel ductwork that has never been retrofitted. That metal traps decades of accumulation, and the seams leak enough to pull in red clay dust from nearby construction sites and mold spores off the South River corridor. Newer tear-down rebuilds and townhomes on the edges of Scottdale use modern flex-duct systems, which require gentler cleaning methods. We assess which system you have before we pick up a tool.
Pollen loads here are severe. Pine and oak pollen peaks in April, and we see our highest Scottdale call volumes right after, when homeowners watch yellow-green dust blow through vents in those original 1960s systems. The combination of airport fallout, aging metal ductwork, and near-annual pollen saturation makes Scottdale one of the more demanding markets we serve in metro Atlanta.
Our Main Scottdale Services
Scottdale homeowners call us most often for these three services, each with its own dedicated page and pricing details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Scottdale
We clean supply and return ductwork with either a Rotobrush rotary brush system or a Nikro negative-air machine, depending on whether your home has rigid galvanized steel or modern flex-duct. In Scottdale, we often need both: the rotary brush to break up compacted gray-black airport soot in older mains, and negative-air extraction to pull it out without contaminating the living space. We photograph the duct interior before and after, and you see the images before we pack up. Air Duct Cleaning in Scottdale has full pricing and method details.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Scottdale
Dryer vent cleaning in Scottdale runs into the same particulate load as the HVAC systems. The fine soot from airport traffic mixes with lint in the vent line, creating a denser, more stubborn blockage than we see in Decatur or Tucker. We run a rotary brush through the full vent length and check exterior termination points, which in Scottdale’s older ranches are often original wall caps with minimal clearance. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Scottdale covers what’s included and how we price it.
Duct Sealing in Scottdale
Scottdale’s original galvanized steel ductwork leaks at every joint and seam after sixty years of thermal expansion. We seal accessible ductwork with mastic and mechanical fasteners, which cuts the volume of unfiltered attic air and airport soot pulled into the system. For homes with newer flex-duct, we check for disconnections at trunk line junctions, common in the tear-down rebuilds going up around Scottdale’s edges. Duct Sealing in Scottdale explains when sealing makes sense versus replacement.

Two-story homes with longer duct runs also take more time. The price we write down before any work starts is the price you pay. It does not move at the door, and it is not built on a per-vent teaser that balloons once we’re inside.
