Mount Baker, King County
Our Mount Baker dryer vent visits run $105 to $259. Expect the lower figure for a washer-dryer pair backed onto exterior siding, its duct bending maybe once. Expect more for a basement dryer whose duct snakes across joists, a roof exit, an upstairs laundry, or nesting birds behind the flap. We read airflow at the hood with an anemometer on arrival and on departure, so you see a measured gain, not a claim.

Mount Baker Park's deeds once allowed only single-family houses, with one commercial building permitted at 35th Avenue South and South McClellan Street, as the city's survey of the neighborhood notes. The wider ZIP area is more mixed today. In 98144, which reaches beyond Mount Baker to north Beacon Hill and areas north, only 39.3 percent of homes are detached houses and 18.5 percent are in buildings of fifty units or more, by the 2020–2024 census survey. That changes the job. A dryer set into a 1920s basement can need a long duct before it meets an exterior wall. In a condo or apartment, the duct often runs through walls you do not control. Both are cleanable; we just need to know which one we are walking into when you book.
Every dryer vent cleaning we do in Mount Baker includes:
Smoke coming back into the room, or a smell that won't go? Book the inspection first.
Book nowSeattle's Residential Code, section M1502, wants the exhaust duct made of smooth metal no thinner than 28 gage, four inches across, supported at least every 12 feet, and kept to 35 feet from the dryer connection to the outside, a limit that shrinks with each fitting. Flexible foil and plastic ducts fall short of that. Lint is the risk. USFA's national tally pins about 2,900 house fires a year on dryers; in a third of them (34 percent) the main contributing factor was that nobody had cleaned the lint out. Those fires climb through autumn and winter and top out in January.
We read airflow at the exterior hood with the dryer running, then trace the duct route.
The dryer comes forward, the transition hose comes off, and the floor behind it is protected.
A spinning brush travels from laundry to exterior; at the far end our vacuum swallows whatever it dislodges.
Everything goes back together, airflow is read again, and you get both readings with photos.

Mount Baker is a Seattle neighborhood laid out in 1907 as the Mount Baker Park Addition, on the lakeshore, with houses built mostly in two waves, 1905 to about 1920 and then 1920 to 1929, a good share of them designed by Seattle architects. We work every part of it — the Mount Baker Park Addition, the York Addition included.
