Wallingford, King County
For dryer vent cleaning in Wallingford we charge between $105 and $295. Length and exit point set the price inside that bracket. Ground-floor laundry, straight shot through the rim joist: $105. Basement laundry at the center of the floor plan, its duct threaded between joists toward a side wall: more. Upstairs laundry venting through the roof, where the termination has to be reached with a ladder and a harness: the upper end. A crushed or disconnected duct we discover along the way is reported to you with a photo before anything extra is done.

The electric clothes dryer is younger than much of Wallingford. Home building here peaked between 1906 and 1915 and continued through the 1920s, so in a house of those years the machine stands wherever a later owner found room: a basement corner, an enclosed back porch, a closet off the kitchen. The neighborhood's historic district listing counts 66 multifamily buildings as well, and an apartment has arrangements of its own. We therefore assume nothing about a vent route in Wallingford until we have traced it.
Every dryer vent cleaning we do in Wallingford includes:

Book nowThe fire data on dryers is blunt. When the U.S. Fire Administration studied home dryer fires for the years 2008 through 2010, the single leading contributing factor, cited in 34 percent of cases, was failure to clean. The material that caught first was dust, fiber or lint in 28 percent. Fires were most frequent in January. A long duct with several bends slows the air, lint drops out of the slower air, and the layer it forms slows the air further. That loop explains why a vent that worked for years can clog in one winter.
We follow the duct through basement, wall or attic to learn its length and its turns.
Pressure or airflow is measured so improvement can be shown, not claimed.
A spinning brush on flexible rods loosens lint; a vacuum takes it away at the other end.
Joints are re-taped with foil tape, the dryer is run, and the reading is repeated.

Yes. Warm, wet, lint-laden air belongs outdoors. We will show you where the duct ends and what it would take to carry it outside; that extension is quoted separately from cleaning.
We clean the run belonging to your unit. For a vent that joins a common shaft we need the building manager's agreement before touching shared ductwork.
No. The $99 plus tax fee is for chimney inspections and is credited on chimney work a customer approves. A dryer vent is priced on arrival, before we begin.
