Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Plantation
Air duct cleaning in Plantation runs $450 – $850 for a full single-family system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. If your home is east of University Drive or in Plantation Acres, storm water and slab moisture create a bigger problem than dust alone; some ducts need replacement, not cleaning. Hollis Air Duct Fort Lauderdale has handled both outcomes across Plantation since 2004. We show up in uniform, write the price before we touch anything, and stand behind the work for a full year. Call (754) 354-3644 for a straight answer about your ducts.
Why Hollis Air Duct Fort Lauderdale Is Plantation’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Plantation homeowners call us because we tell them the truth about what’s in their ducts, even when that truth is “cleaning will not fix this.” Most companies in this trade will clean anything you point at. We won’t. If a flex duct under your slab has standing water from a July thunderstorm, cleaning it just stirs up mold and wastes your money. We bring a camera, show you what we found, and give you a written recommendation: clean, seal, or replace. That’s the Garrison Standard, and it’s how Roy Castellanos runs every job our Plantation crews take on.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. We answer the phone with a live person, 24/7; no voicemail loops when you call about musty air after a storm. And the 365-Day Done Right Promise is a written guarantee: if the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. In a market full of low-ball coupons and door-price jumps, that written promise is what sets us apart in Plantation.
Styles & brands we work with
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Plantation
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Plantation covers offices, medical suites, retail storefronts, and the condo association common areas throughout Jacaranda, Plantation Acres, and the corridors along University Drive and Broward Boulevard. These buildings share the same South Florida conditions as houses: high humidity, salt air, and storm-driven moisture that collects in supply and return runs. What changes is scale. Commercial systems run longer hours, move more air, and pile up debris faster. A typical small commercial space in Plantation runs $900 – $2,400 depending on the number of rooftop units and the linear feet of ductwork.
Common-Area and Condo Systems
Association common areas and clubhouse systems in Plantation condo communities often go years between cleanings. That means dust, construction debris from past renovations, and sometimes pest remains cycle through shared air. We clean these with Rotobrush rotary brush systems paired with HEPA-filtered negative-air machines, so we’re not just pushing debris around; we’re pulling it out at the source.
Office and Retail Ductwork
Offices in Plantation’s commercial parks along Peters Road and Pine Island Road tend to have longer duct runs and multiple drops per unit. We stage the job after hours when the space is empty, lay down floor protection, and complete the cleaning with minimal disruption to business. You get a written report and camera images of the interior before and after; useful when a commercial tenant or property manager needs documentation for the building file.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Plantation
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Plantation are not one-size-fits-all, and a company that treats them that way will miss what’s really going on in your house. For a typical single-story ranch near Plantation Central Park or a mid-century home off Peters Road, expect $450 – $850 for a complete residential system, including supply ducts, return ducts, plenums, and the air handler interior. Older 1970s flex duct with heavy condensation buildup or pest debris may push to the top of that range or beyond if chemical treatment or duct sealing is required.
Supply and Return Duct Restoration
Supply ducts in Plantation homes carry conditioned air from the air handler to each room. Return ducts pull air back. Both matter. If only the supply side gets cleaned and the return side stays caked with years of dust and skin cells, you’ve done half a job. We clean both, and we check for leaks, rust-through on original galvanized runs, and collapsed flex sections in the process.
Full System Source Removal
Full system cleaning means we place the entire duct system under negative pressure with a Nikro machine, then agitate the interior with a rotary brush to loosen everything from dust to pet hair to pest debris. This is source removal, not just vacuuming the vents. It’s the same method commercial crews use in hospitals and schools, and it’s the standard we apply to every Plantation home or commercial job we take.

Trusted Brands We Service in Plantation
We work on all residential and commercial duct systems, and we stock parts for the brands most common in Plantation homes: Honeywell filtration components, Aprilaire media cabinets, and Guardsman UV systems. We also repair and replace flex duct, galvanized runs, and duct board using materials matched to your system’s original construction. For older Plantation ranches with original 1970s flex, we keep replacement sections on the truck, which means a water-damaged run found during inspection often gets fixed same day instead of requiring a second visit.

AfterCommon Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Plantation Homes
- Standing water in low-lying flex ducts. East of University Drive, slab foundations and poor drainage let storm water pool under the home and seep into duct runs. You can’t clean standing water; the duct must come out, and the moisture problem must be addressed or it will happen again.
- Mold on the interior of air handler plenums. Plantation’s humidity sits above 70% for months at a time, and the wet season from May through October drives condensation inside plenums and coil boxes. A musty smell when the AC kicks on usually means biological growth inside, not just dirty vents.
- Rust-through on original galvanized ducts. Salt air from the Atlantic, which reaches Plantation in measurable amounts, accelerates corrosion on metal ductwork from the 1960s and 1970s. Once rust eats through a seam, the duct pulls attic air and fiberglass particles into your living space.
- Pest debris in returns. Rats, mice, and roaches find their way into the warm, dark return ducts of older Plantation homes, especially where foundation gaps or old soffit vents allow entry. Droppings, nesting material, and carcasses require full removal and sanitizing, not just vacuuming.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Plantation
If water pooled inside the duct, cleaning is unsafe and ineffective. We confirm this with a camera inspection; if we find standing water, fiberglass degradation, or visible mold inside flex ducts, the correct step is replacement of the affected run. In slab homes east of University Drive, after a heavy storm, we often find exactly this: water in low-lying flex runs that standard cleaning would only churn. We document everything with photos and write up a replacement recommendation you can submit to your insurer. Call (754) 354-3644 if you suspect post-storm water in your ducts.
Original 1970s ducts in Plantation are typically galvanized metal or early flex with little insulation, and they collect debris differently. The metal rusts from salt air and condensation; the flex collapses in low spots and traps moisture. A newer home with modern flex and tight connections can often be restored with standard source removal. An older system needs inspection first, then decision-making: clean what’s sound, seal surface rust, and replace what’s water-damaged or collapsed. That’s the difference between a job that holds and one where the odor returns in six weeks. Call us for an assessment; we’ll tell you which category your system falls into.
It depends on your policy and the cause of loss, but insurers generally accept claims when two things are true: the damage is documented with dated photos and a clear description, and the cause is a covered event like a storm or water backup. After a July storm, we traced musty air in a Plantation Acres mid-century ranch to a collapsed flex duct under the slab. Using a camera inspection, we documented standing water and fiberglass degradation, then performed source removal on the supply and return ducts with HEPA-filtered negative pressure. We replaced the water-damaged run and provided photo evidence the homeowner’s insurer accepted without dispute. That’s the level of documentation we provide on every post-storm job in Plantation. Call (754) 354-3644 and we’ll walk you through the process.
Salt air accelerates rust on galvanized metal ducts, especially at seams and joints. During cleaning, we inspect for pitting and through-rust; if we find it, aggressive brushing can turn a pinhole into an open tear. That’s why we scale the agitation method to the duct’s condition, not to what’s fastest. Where surface rust is present but the metal is structurally sound, we recommend duct sealing with mastic to stop further corrosion and prevent attic air from entering the airstream. Call us for a camera inspection if your metal ducts are original to the house.
Within one to two weeks. The first sign that storm water reached your ducts is usually a musty or earthy smell when the AC cycles on, or visible dampness around floor registers in low rooms. The longer standing water sits inside a flex run, the deeper the mold penetrates the insulation and the more expensive the repair becomes. Slab homes east of University Drive are at the highest risk because of drainage patterns. If you notice the smell, call (754) 354-3644; we’ll get a camera into the ducts and show you exactly what we find, clean or replace, before the wet season gets worse.
