Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alpharetta - Flat Price, Airflow Proven on the Day

Trusted Dryer Vent Cleaning for Alpharetta Homeowners

Alpharetta Dryer Vent Cleaning typically costs between $89 and $189 for a standard single-family home, takes about 45 to 90 minutes, and should be done every 12 months for most households. That’s the direct answer. The longer version is that a clogged dryer vent is the leading cause of home dryer fires in the U.S., and Alpharetta’s humid summers make lint buildup worse because moist air carries more lint into the vent run and it sticks harder once it’s in there. We’re Hollis Air Duct Alpharetta, and we’ve been cleaning dryer vents in this area since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family. Every job gets a written price before we start, a uniformed and background-checked technician, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t right within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge. Call (762) 769-7145 for a free estimate.

Dryer Vent Cleaning Service

A Vent Cleaning service removes the compacted lint, dust, and debris that build up inside the duct run between your dryer and the outside vent cap. You need it when clothes start taking two or three cycles to dry, when the dryer feels hot to the touch on the outside, or when you notice a burning smell in the laundry room. Hollis Air Duct Alpharetta runs a professional-grade rotary brush system through the full vent run, then uses a negative-air machine to pull loosened debris out instead of pushing it into your laundry room. The written price covers the entire job, no per-vent add-ons, no surprise fees after the work begins.

What We Remove

We pull out the dense lint mat that builds up at elbows and turns, along with bird nests, wasp nests, drywall dust from construction, and the occasional dry-cleaning tag or coin. Lint is the fire hazard. The other debris is what blocks airflow and makes your dryer work harder than it should. A clear vent run should let air move like a straw; a clogged one makes the dryer push against its own exhaust, which shortens the life of the heating element and blower motor.

After the Cleaning

We finish by testing airflow at the exterior vent and confirming the backdraft damper opens and closes cleanly. We leave the laundry area clean, walk you through what we found, and the written guarantee covers the work for a full year. If the vent clogs again inside that year due to our cleaning, the return visit is free.

Dryer Vent Installation

Dryer vent installation is the process of running a new vent duct from the back of your dryer to an outside wall cap, and it’s the right move when the existing run is old, corroded, crushed, or built with materials that no longer meet code. Alpharetta homes built before roughly 2010 often have foil or plastic flex duct behind the dryer, and that material is a fire hazard because lint catches on the ridges and the foil can split. Hollis Air Duct Alpharetta installs rigid metal duct or UL-listed semi-rigid aluminum, sized correctly for your dryer’s CFM rating, with the shortest practical run and a proper outside termination. The written price includes materials, labor, and the removal of the old vent run.

When Installation Beats Cleaning

If the existing vent is more than about 10 years old or has been crushed behind the dryer, cleaning it won’t fix the underlying problem. A crushed section creates a permanent restriction that traps lint no matter how often you clean the line. We’ll tell you honestly if the vent is cleanable or if replacement is the only way to get proper airflow, and we’ll put that in writing before any work starts.

Code-Compliant Runs

Alpharetta follows Georgia state mechanical code, which requires dryer vents to terminate outside the building envelope, never into an attic, crawlspace, or garage. We install runs with the fewest elbows practical, support horizontal runs every 4 feet, and seal all joints with foil tape, not screws or duct tape. Screws protruding into the vent interior catch lint. Duct tape dries out and fails. These are the details that separate a code-compliant installation from a shortcut.

Dryer Vent Repair

Dryer vent repair covers everything from replacing a damaged exterior vent cap to re-routing a vent that was never installed correctly in the first place. You need it when the vent damper is stuck open, when you can see daylight through gaps in the vent joints, when the duct has separated behind the dryer, or when the exterior cap is dented, rusted, or missing its screen. Hollis Air Duct Alpharetta repairs or replaces damaged sections, re-seals leaking joints, and gets the vent moving air like it should. Repair pricing in Alpharetta generally runs $120 to $260 depending on the scope, and you’ll see the written number before we touch anything.

Common Repairs We Handle

The two repairs we see most often in Alpharetta are crushed transition ducts behind the dryer and stuck exterior dampers. The transition duct is the short connector between the dryer and the wall, and it gets crushed when the dryer gets pushed too far back. A stuck damper lets outside air, rain, and pests into the vent run. Both are straightforward fixes, and both make an immediate difference in drying time and lint buildup.

Repair or Replace?

Sometimes a repair on a deteriorating vent is throwing good money after bad. We’ll measure the damage, check the material condition along the full run, and give you a straight answer on whether a targeted repair or a full replacement makes more sense. Either way, the fix is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise, so if a joint separates or a damper sticks again inside a year, we’re back at no charge.

Dryer Vent Cleaning Company

A dryer vent cleaning company is a business you bring in to clear the lint and debris from your dryer’s exhaust system, and the choice of company matters because the quality of the job determines whether your vent is actually clean or just looks clean. Hollis Air Duct Alpharetta is a dryer vent cleaning company that’s been operating since 2004, with live phones answered 24/7, written pricing, and a guarantee in writing on every job. Roy Castellanos leads the team, and every technician who walks into an Alpharetta home is background-checked, uniformed, and trained on the specific equipment we run. We price by the system, not by the vent, and that price is on paper before the equipment comes off the truck.

What Separates One Company from Another

The difference between decent vent cleaning and a thorough job is the equipment and the process. We run a Rotobrush rotary brush system to break up compacted lint, paired with a Nikro negative-air machine that pulls the loosened debris out under vacuum. A lot of companies in the Atlanta metro run a shop-vac and a drill brush, and they leave fine lint suspended in the vent run. That lint resettles and starts clogging again within months. Our process removes it from the home entirely.

The Garrison Standard

Hollis Air Duct Alpharetta operates under The Garrison Standard, which is how we describe the operating rules on every job: arrive inside the quoted window, put the price in writing, do the work by the book, and leave the site clean. It’s not a slogan. It’s the checklist every technician follows and every customer can hold us to, in writing, for a full year after the work is done.

Dryer Vent Inspection

A Dryer Vent Inspection is a detailed check of the full vent run from the dryer connection to the outside termination, looking for blockages, damage, air leaks, and code violations before they become a fire hazard or a no-heat repair call. When you need one: when you buy a home in Alpharetta, when your dryer has been running hot, when the vent hasn’t been serviced in years, or when you smell a faint burning odor during a cycle. Hollis Air Duct Alpharetta charges $49 for a standalone inspection, and that fee is waived if you book a cleaning from the findings. The inspection uses a camera scope to see inside the vent run, so we’re not guessing about what’s in there.

What We Check

We inspect the transition duct, the full vent run, every elbow, the exterior terminal, and the damper operation. We measure airflow at the outside vent and compare it against expected CFM for your dryer model. We’re looking for crushed sections, separated joints, lint depth, moisture staining, and pest activity. Every finding goes into a written report with photos, so you can see exactly what we saw.

Inspection for Home Buyers

If you’re buying a home in Alpharetta, Milton, or Johns Creek, a dryer vent inspection belongs on your due-diligence list alongside the general home inspection. A standard home inspection may glance at the vent, but unless it’s a visible fire hazard, it rarely gets a camera scope. We’ve found vents packed solid with lint in homes that otherwise passed inspection clean. A $49 check beats discovering the problem on move-in day when the dryer won’t dry a load in under two hours.

Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning

Commercial dryer vent cleaning is scheduled maintenance for multi-unit properties, laundromats, salons, gyms, and any business running dryers at volume, where vents clog faster and the fire and liability stakes are higher. A commercial vent run in Alpharetta that serves back-to-back drying cycles can pack with lint in a matter of months, not years. Hollis Air Duct Alpharetta cleans commercial runs with the same negative-air method we use in homes, scaled for longer runs and larger-diameter ducts. Pricing depends on the number of vents, access difficulty, and length of the runs, and every commercial quote is in writing after a site walk.

Multi-Unit Properties

Apartment and condo properties in Alpharetta and Roswell carry a heavier maintenance burden because shared vent risers can spread a fire from one unit into the wall cavity of another. We work with property managers to build recurring cleaning schedules, typically every 6 to 12 months for high-turnover buildings. Our reports are documentation-ready if your insurance carrier or local fire marshal asks for maintenance records.

Laundromats and High-Volume Operations

Filtration brands like Honeywell and Aprilaire make commercial air handling components that work alongside clean vent runs, and a clogged vent undermines the whole system. We keep the vent runs clear so dryers run at rated capacity, dry times stay predictable for your customers, and lint doesn’t accumulate in areas where it becomes a fire hazard. Commercial work is quoted per project, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every commercial job we take.

Brands We Service

We service dryer vent systems connected to every major dryer brand on the market, but a few stand out in the Alpharetta area because of how common they are. Samsung and LG units, which dominate newer homes in Alpharetta, Milton, and Johns Creek, have high-efficiency moisture sensors that get confused by restricted airflow and can throw error codes that look like a control board failure when the real problem is a packed vent. We’ve seen that exact scenario enough times that it’s the first thing we check. Whirlpool and Maytag dryers, common in older Alpharetta homes, tend to run longer cycles even when the vent is clear, which means a partially clogged vent shows up as laundry that never quite dries instead of a visible error.

GE and Electrolux units sit somewhere between the two. What matters more than the badge on the front is the vent run behind the dryer. That’s what we clean, inspect, and repair. Whether you have a Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, or any other make, we can help.

Signs You Need a Pro Right Now

• Clothes take more than one cycle to dry. A dryer in good condition with a clear vent should dry a standard load in 45 to 60 minutes. If you’re running the same load twice, airflow is restricted somewhere, and the most likely culprit is the vent run. The longer this goes on, the harder the dryer works and the hotter the heating element runs.
• The dryer feels hot on the outside. A warm dryer is normal. A hot one means exhaust heat isn’t leaving the machine the way it should. That heat has to go somewhere, and when the vent is clogged, it stays inside the dryer cabinet where it can damage components and ignite accumulated lint.
• You smell something burning during a cycle. That’s lint or dust that has built up inside the dryer cabinet or the vent and is being heated past its flash point. Turn the dryer off, unplug it if you can, and call us. This is the warning sign that most often shows up in the months before a dryer fire.
• The exterior vent flap doesn’t open when the dryer runs. Stand outside and look at the vent cap while the dryer is on. If the damper isn’t pushed open by the airflow, the exhaust isn’t leaving the vent run. That’s a blockage or a stuck damper, and either one needs a professional look.
• The laundry room feels humid during a cycle. Moist air is exhausting into your laundry room instead of outside. That means a separated joint, a crushed duct, or a blockage. Standing moisture in a laundry room leads to mildew, and moisture circulating back into the dryer makes drying even less efficient.

Our Process, Step by Step

Step 1: The Walkthrough

We start by looking at the dryer, the transition duct, the vent run, and the exterior termination. We note the dryer make and model, the vent material, the length of the run, and anything that looks damaged or out of place. This is where we identify what’s cleanable, what’s repairable, and what may need replacement.

Step 2: The Written Quote

Before any equipment comes off the truck, you get a written price for the work. That number doesn’t move unless we find something we couldn’t see at the walkthrough, and if that happens, we stop and show you the issue before doing anything you didn’t agree to. This is the no-surprise part of the job.

Step 3: The Cleaning and Inspection

We disconnect the dryer, cover the work area, and run the rotary brush system through the full vent run. The Nikro negative-air machine pulls loosened debris out through the outside vent, so nothing circulates back into your home. We camera-scope the run to confirm it’s clean end to end.

Step 4: The Airflow Test

Once the vent is clean, we reconnect the dryer and run a short cycle to measure airflow at the exterior vent. We compare the reading against what your dryer model should be pushing, and we adjust if anything is still restricted. You’ll know before we leave that the vent is actually moving air.

Step 5: The Written Guarantee

Every job ends with the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. It covers the work we just did for a full year. If the vent clogs or the repair fails inside that year, we come back and make it right at no charge. No negotiation. No fine print. It’s the same guarantee we’ve put on every job since 2004.
