Greenwood, King County
Dryer vent cleaning in Greenwood runs $105 to $295. Three things decide the figure: the length of the duct, where it comes out, and what is in it. A few feet of pipe through a laundry room wall is the simple case. A duct that crosses a crawl space or rises through two floors to the roof is the long one, and a nest or a crushed section adds time to either. You are told the price once we have found both ends of the duct.

Greenwood's housing is a mix, and so is its laundry venting. Detached single-family houses make up 36.8% of Seattle's housing units, and 37.8% in ZIP area 98103, where the south part of Greenwood is counted; the remainder is attached homes, duplexes and apartments. In stacked units the dryer duct can run a long way inside walls and ceilings before it reaches daylight, and nobody in the unit ever sees it. In a house the laundry may be in the basement, with the vent leaving through a window well or a rim joist close to the ground.
Every dryer vent cleaning we do in Greenwood includes:
Smoke coming back into the room, or a smell that won't go? Book the inspection first.
Book nowLint builds wherever air slows, and a clogged duct makes the dryer run hot. The U.S. Fire Administration's study of residential dryer fires for 2008 to 2010 put the number at about 2,900 a year and named failure to clean as the leading factor, involved in 34 percent of them. Lint, fiber or dust was what caught first in 28 percent. January was the month with the most of these fires. A low vent outlet has its own local hazard: leaves, soil and nesting animals block a hood that sits near wet ground, so we always check the outside end, not just the pipe.
Starting at the machine, the duct is followed to daylight; length, bends and material are noted.
A reading at the outlet shows how restricted the duct is before cleaning.
The brush is driven through the run while lint is collected by vacuum, from the outside in or the inside out as the layout allows.
The dryer goes back in place with a proper connection, and a second reading shows the gain.

$105 to $295. Short wall vents are at the bottom; long concealed runs, roof outlets and blockages are higher.
In most cases, yes, from inside the unit and from the outlet if it can be reached safely. Shared or rooftop terminations sometimes need the building manager's permission.
Thin foil and plastic hoses crush easily and trap lint in their ridges. We point them out and can replace the transition with semi-rigid metal.
No, that is a different service. The $99 plus tax fee, credited on an approved quote, is for inspecting a chimney. Dryer vent cleaning has its own price and needs no prior inspection.
