Othello, King County
Cleaning a dryer vent in Othello costs $105 to $259. The cheapest case is a brief, straight duct out a first-floor wall. Length, a roof outlet, an upstairs laundry closet or a nest jammed in the hood push the price higher. We clean from the dryer connection to the outside flap and measure the airflow before and after.

Othello's housing ranges from detached houses to buildings of up to four stories. The Seattle Housing Authority describes NewHolly alone as single-family homes, townhomes and one-to-four-story buildings spread over more than 100 acres, and larger apartment buildings have opened beside the station since 2011. Townhomes and upper units often put the laundry deep inside, so the duct snakes up through a ceiling or across joists before it gets outdoors, and each added foot or bend slows the airflow and catches lint.
Every dryer vent cleaning we do in Othello 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) sets the limits a dryer duct should meet: smooth metal at least No. 28 gage, 4 inches in nominal diameter, supported every 12 feet or less, ending outdoors, and no longer than 35 feet from the transition duct to the outlet, minus an allowance for each fitting. Long or crushed runs, plastic foil connectors and screened hoods all trap lint. The U.S. Fire Administration tallies about 2,900 residential dryer fires nationwide each year, with lack of cleaning the top cause in 34 percent; it also notes that these fires peak in January, deep inside Seattle's wet months.
We read airflow at the outside hood so you can see the difference afterward.
The dryer is moved and its connector removed and inspected.
Rotary brushes and vacuum clear the duct end to end, including bends inside walls or ceilings.
The outside termination is opened, cleaned and checked for a stuck flap or a nest.
Everything is reattached, the dryer is run, and the new airflow reading is recorded for you.

Yes. A roof exit or a vent high up a wall? Mention it when booking so the crew arrives with the right ladder.
Once a year is a sound habit for most households; sooner for long runs, large families or a vent that already shows the signs above.
