Brighton, King County
Cleaning a dryer vent in Brighton costs $105 to $259. We charge toward $105 when the dryer backs onto an outside wall and the duct crosses a few feet to a hood near the ground. We charge toward $259 when the duct snakes under the floor or over the ceiling, turns several corners, ends at a hood up on the second floor or the roof, or has birds' twigs packed into its exit. StarDucts, one of the other Seattle companies doing this work, publishes $125 to $225 for a typical visit; we quote it for comparison, and it is not our price.

Most homes in Brighton's census area are houses, not apartments. In ZIP area 98118, detached single-family homes account for 12,108 of 20,459 housing units, about three in five, while across Seattle the share is closer to one in three. In a detached house the dryer duct belongs to the owner alone: no building manager schedules its cleaning, and it is easy to forget a pipe hidden in a wall or under the floor. Add Seattle's long wet season, from October into the end of April by WeatherSpark's count, when outdoor line drying is a gamble and the dryer runs load after load.
Every dryer vent cleaning we do in Brighton includes:

Across the country, according to a U.S. Fire Administration report, clothes dryers start about 2,900 house fires each year, injuring around 100 people, killing 5 and destroying some 35 million dollars of property; a dryer nobody had cleaned was the top contributing factor in a third of those fires. The agency also saw these fires rise as the weather cools, reaching their high point in January with 11 percent of the annual count. A clogged vent also makes the dryer run longer and hotter for every load, which shows first as towels that need a second cycle.
We read the airflow at the outside hood to know how blocked the run is.
The dryer is moved and the connector hose detached so the duct can be reached from both ends.
A spinning brush on jointed rods travels the duct end to end while a vacuum catches what it knocks loose.
Everything is reattached and a second airflow reading shows the difference.

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.
For an average household with a short duct, usually. A big family, a long run or one with several turns fills faster, and comparing the two airflow readings from each visit tells you how quickly yours clogs.
Yes. Flimsy plastic or foil hoses crush and trap lint, so we swap them for semi-rigid metal and note the change on your invoice.
Yes, on the same trip. When the chimney gets our inspection as well, it costs $99 plus tax, and we deduct that sum from a chimney quote you accept.
