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.

Severna Park sits where the Severn River meets the Chesapeake Bay, and that water proximity changes what we find in ducts here. The postwar waterfront neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions off Ritchie Highway face fundamentally different air quality problems, split between humidity-driven mildew in older homes and fine particulate buildup in tightly sealed newer construction. Hollis Air Duct Cleaning has handled both since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family.
Why Severna Park Homes Are Different
The housing stock in Severna Park breaks into two eras, and each era needs a different approach. In Olde Severna Park, Round Bay, and Manhattan Beach, we’re working with 1950s-1970s ranchers and split-levels that still run original sheet-metal trunk lines wrapped in fiberglass insulation. When that wrap tears, which it routinely does, humid bay air condenses against the cold metal and we find standing water or black mildew in the runs closest to the water. Cleaning the duct is only half the job; the insulation has to be replaced or the problem returns within a season.
Newer neighborhoods like Shipleys Choice and Chartwell, built in the 1980s and 1990s, use flex duct tucked into finished basements and attics. These systems don’t rust, but they’re harder to access and more prone to fine particulate buildup because the tighter construction traps everything inside. The long cooling season here, driven by humid subtropical summers, means AC condensate runs for six months straight and biological growth is a year-round concern rather than a seasonal one.
Fall pollen and leaf debris add another layer. Severna Park’s mature tree canopy loads the outdoor air, and return ducts pull it straight into the system. We see heavier filter loading here than in inland Anne Arundel County, and homeowners who skip changes end up with blower fans coated in organic matter.
Our Main Severna Park Services
Most calls we get from Severna Park fall into three categories. Each has its own page with full pricing and technical detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Severna Park
We clean the full supply and return network with a Rotobrush rotary brush system and, for heavier buildup, a Nikro negative-air machine that pulls dislodged debris out of the house entirely. In Severna Park’s older river communities, we often pair this with insulation replacement on original metal trunks where the wrap has failed. Every job gets a written price before we start and before-and-after photos of your own ducts. Air Duct Cleaning in Severna Park
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Severna Park
Dryer vent blockages are a genuine fire hazard, and in Severna Park’s humid climate, lint compacts faster than it does inland. We run a rotary brush through the full vent line to the exterior termination, then measure airflow to confirm the dryer’s operating within manufacturer spec. If the vent run is damaged or improperly routed, we note it in writing. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Severna Park
Duct Sealing in Severna Park
Leaky ducts waste conditioned air into attics and crawlspaces, and in Severna Park’s older homes, original metal seams were sealed with tape that has long since dried out. We apply duct sealing mastic to accessible joints and, where appropriate, use aerosolized sealant for leaks inside finished walls. The result is measured airflow improvement, not guesswork.
