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 St. Augustine South, FL
Air duct cleaning in St. Augustine South typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs scheduled within a few days of your call. St. Augustine South’s tree-canopied, low-lying setting south of the historic district creates a distinct set of duct problems: oak pollen loads, year-round humidity, and older flex duct systems running through hot attics that trap moisture and encourage mold. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we dispatch crews to St. Augustine South from our Miami office. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Why St. Augustine South Homes Are Different
St. Augustine South sits just south of the old city in a pocket of live oaks, marsh edges, and 1970s – 1990s ranch homes built before modern duct codes took hold. Most houses here are single-story CBS or frame construction with original or updated flex duct systems snaking through unconditioned attics. In Florida’s subtropical climate, those attics hit 140°F in July, and the temperature swing between attic and conditioned space creates condensation on duct surfaces. We’ve opened systems in St. Augustine South where the inner liner was black with mold from years of that cycle.
The neighborhood’s elevation and proximity to wetlands add another layer. Homes near the Intracoastal or on elevated crawlspaces pull humid ground air directly into return pathways. After hurricanes or heavy summer storms, we regularly find ducts shifted or disconnected in attics from wind-driven rain and sustained high humidity. That combination of pollen infiltration, moisture load, and older construction means St. Augustine South ductwork fails differently than the tighter, drier systems in inland suburbs like Fruit Cove or Nocatee.
Our Main St. Augustine South Services
St. Augustine South homeowners call us for three jobs, each handled on its own dedicated page with St. Augustine South-specific pricing and conditions.
Air Duct Cleaning in St. Augustine South
We clean supply and return ductwork with a Rotobrush rotary brush system that scrubs the interior walls, paired with a Nikro negative-air machine to pull dislodged debris out of your home entirely. In St. Augustine South, this matters more than in newer areas because older flex duct has corrugated walls that trap pollen and mold spores. We also inspect for attic moisture damage while we’re in the system, something we find here more often than in inland neighborhoods. Air Duct Cleaning in St. Augustine South
Dryer Vent Cleaning in St. Augustine South
Dryer vent blockages in St. Augustine South often involve lint packed with oak pollen and humidity-caked debris, not just dry lint. We run a rotary brush through the full vent run to the exterior cap and check back-pressure with a manometer. Homes with longer vent runs through hot attics are especially prone to condensation buildup that hardens lint into dense plugs. Dryer Vent Cleaning in St. Augustine South
Duct Sealing in St. Augustine South
We seal leaking duct joints with mastic and mechanical fasteners, then test with a duct blaster to verify results. In St. Augustine South, disconnected attic runs and gaps at plenum connections are common after storm seasons, and sealing them can drop cooling bills significantly in these older systems. We also evaluate whether your ductwork has degraded past the point where sealing makes sense. Duct Sealing in St. Augustine South
