Much of South Seattle is single-family houses. The Census ACS 2020–2024 counts detached houses as 59.2% of housing units in the 98118 ZIP area, compared with 36.8% for Seattle overall. In a house, the dryer frequently lives in a basement or back room, and its duct may snake through joists and walls before it reaches open air. Lint that slips past the screen collects at each elbow and dip along that path. We brush and blow out the full length, clear the outside hood, and take an airflow reading before leaving.
The 98144 ZIP area, covering Mount Baker and north Beacon Hill, has a different mix of housing: detached houses are only 39.3% of units, and 18.5% are in buildings with 50 or more units, according to the Census ACS 2020–2024. In larger buildings the laundry is often deep in the floor plan, and the duct may travel a considerable distance before it exits through a wall or the roof. We clean the duct serving your unit provided its termination is reachable, and a quick call to the building manager in advance avoids a wasted trip.
The U.S. Fire Administration blames clothes dryers for about 2,900 home fires a year across the country, and in 34 percent of them failure to clean was the main contributing factor. January is the peak month, with 11 percent of the yearly total, when laundry piles are big and windows stay shut.
Lint catches fire easily and dryers run hot, which is why Seattle's residential code keeps the exhaust duct short and smooth. Section M1502 wants the duct smooth inside, made of metal no thinner than No. 28 gage and sized at a nominal 4 inches, hung from supports no more than 12 feet apart, limited to 35 feet from the transition connection to the outlet after deductions for fittings, and venting outside at least 3 feet from any building opening where the dryer maker specifies no location. Ducts that break those rules, such as foil pushed through a ceiling or a vent dumping into a crawl space, are the first to plug. With a gas dryer, combustion gases ride along in the exhaust, and a plugged duct can push carbon monoxide back toward the laundry room.
How it works
We find the path, count the bends and locate the exit.
Rotating brushes break up the lint and compressed air pushes it to the collection end.
The hood is cleared and its flap checked for full travel.
Airflow at the outlet is measured and logged with the dryer running.

For most homes, yes. Large households, pets, long duct runs and roof terminations call for more frequent cleaning, and when a load needs two cycles to dry, the vent is already past due.
$105–$259. Our lowest figure fits a short duct exiting through a wall at ground level. Roof terminations, upstairs laundry rooms and ducts with nests in them sit at the top.
A short flexible connector from the dryer to the wall is standard. The run itself is supposed to be smooth metal, 4 inches or larger, under the code. Foil tucked inside a wall or ceiling sags and catches lint, and we suggest replacing it.
The code limits the run to 35 feet, minus a deduction for every fitting. When a duct exceeds that, or exceeds what the dryer manufacturer permits, the fix is rerouting it shorter or straighter; we will point out where the footage adds up.
They could. Air duct cleaning carries its own price (from $525), and booking them together means one appointment instead of two.
