Georgetown, King County
Clearing a dryer vent in Georgetown is priced $105 to $259. A short length of duct running from a first-floor laundry straight through the nearest wall sits at the bottom. Toward the top: a long crawl-space run, an exit through the roof, an upstairs washer and dryer, or a duct choked with lint or a bird's nest. Airflow is read at the hood when we arrive and again when we finish, and both readings go on your receipt.

The city's 2014 survey of Georgetown notes how often its old houses have been re-clad, with aluminum, vinyl or brick-pattern asphalt siding laid over the original walls, and how often windows were swapped out. Every new layer on an outside wall changes the spot where a dryer vent leaves the house. On a re-sided wall we look for hoods pushed back into thicker cladding, flaps that no longer swing freely, and ducts stretched with flexible foil to reach the new surface. Each of these slows the air and lets lint settle.
Every dryer vent cleaning we do in Georgetown includes:
Smoke coming back into the room, or a smell that won't go? Book the inspection first.
Book nowNationwide, the federal Fire Administration ties about 2,900 residential fires a year to clothes dryers; in roughly a third, skipped cleaning was the leading cause. Its report shows them clustering in fall and winter and topping out in January, the month with about 11 percent of the annual count. Georgetown's long wet season pushes laundry indoors and into the dryer for months at a time, so the vent carries its heaviest load during the stretch when the risk is already highest.
With the dryer on high, we put a meter at the outdoor hood. That number is the starting point.
We pull the machine away from the wall and detach the connector behind it, noting any plastic or crushed duct.
Rotary heads and compressed air push lint out of the run, worked from the laundry side and from the hood.
The dryer is reconnected with a sound fitting, run again, and the second reading is set next to the first.

Section M1502 of the city's residential code asks for smooth-walled metal no thinner than No. 28 gauge and 4 inches across, held up by supports no more than 12 feet apart, kept within 35 feet before deductions for fittings, and ending outside the house.
Yearly works for a typical household. A big family's laundry or a long, winding run calls for sooner. Watch your drying times; when they creep up, lint is usually building.
Yes. Roof exits collect lint at the cap and are harder to reach, which is why they fall toward the top of our price range.
No. Dryer vent cleaning is booked directly at its own price. The $99 plus tax inspection is for chimney problems that need a diagnosis and a quote.
