Ravenna, King County
Cleaning a dryer vent in Ravenna costs $105 for a simple ground-level run and as much as $295 when the vent is long, ends on the roof or is blocked by a nest. We tell you which before we begin. Most visits are finished within the hour and need nothing from you except access to the dryer and to the outside wall.

Ravenna is house country by the numbers. In ZIP area 98115, where it is counted with Wedgwood and Maple Leaf, the detached house accounts for 59.7 percent of all housing units, the second-highest share among North Seattle ZIP areas after 98117. A detached house usually has its own laundry and its own vent, often installed long after the house was built and routed wherever was convenient: across a basement ceiling, through a crawl space, out under a porch. Those improvised routes have low spots and extra elbows where damp lint packs down. The weather keeps the machine busy as well. Sand Point logged rain or drizzle on some 158 days of an average year, which leaves few days for a clothesline.
Every dryer vent cleaning we do in Ravenna includes:

Its leading cause, at 34 percent, was a dryer or vent nobody had cleaned. It also found that these fires are most frequent in January. A vent does not need to be fully blocked to be dangerous: a partial clog raises the temperature inside the dryer cabinet and lets lint collect near the heating element, which is where ignition starts.
A reading at the exterior hood shows how restricted the vent is before cleaning.
The dryer is moved, the line is opened and rotary brushes are run through its full length.
The hood outside and the dryer outlet inside are cleared of packed lint.
Airflow is measured again and the two readings are shown to you.

Four steps, each one on paper — so you always know what happens next.
Choose a genuine opening on the crew's calendar. Confirmation is immediate.
Liner, crown, cap, flashing and masonry examined in order — each finding photographed.
One document, plain numbers, covering only the work your chimney genuinely needs.
The repair is completed, then handed over with before-and-after photos of every item.
Screens are sometimes added to keep birds out. They catch lint and clog quickly. A hood with a gravity flap is the better choice, and we can fit one.
Every dryer has a maximum vent length in its manual, reduced for each elbow. If a run exceeds it, cleaning helps but the route should be shortened or a booster considered.
A gas dryer's vent also carries combustion exhaust, so a blockage can push carbon monoxide indoors. That makes regular cleaning more important, not less.
