Seward Park, King County
Cleaning a dryer vent in Seward Park costs $105 to $259. A short run straight out through a basement or laundry-room wall is the quick end of that range. A duct that climbs to the roof, snakes through a second floor, or is packed with a nest or years of lint takes longer and sits higher. We note the airflow at the hood on arrival and again when finished, and both numbers go on your receipt.

An older house was often laid out before anyone planned for a clothes dryer. For ZIP area 98118, which includes Seward Park, the Census Bureau's year-built tables put the median home at 1968, and close to one in five units predates 1940. When a dryer is added to an older house, the vent usually goes wherever it can: through a foundation wall, up through a closet, across a crawlspace. Long runs with several elbows and flexible foil sections are exactly the kind that collect lint fastest.
Every dryer vent cleaning we do in Seward Park includes:
Smoke coming back into the room, or a smell that won't go? Book the inspection first.
Book nowThe current residential code in Seattle sets the target any vent we clean is measured against. Under M1502 the duct should be a 4-inch rigid metal pipe with a smooth bore, of 28-gage sheet or heavier, hung at 12-foot intervals or less. Its run is capped at 35 feet, shortened for every elbow, and it must discharge outside the house, 3 feet or more from any door or window. The reason is fire. Across the country, some 2,900 house fires a year begin at a dryer, according to the federal fire administration; in roughly one in three, nobody had cleaned the machine or its duct, and January is the worst month.
With a load tumbling, a meter held to the outside flap gives the starting figure the cleaning will be judged by.
The dryer is pulled out and unplugged or its gas valve closed, and the transition hose is removed.
We drill-drive a brush through every foot of pipe, elbows included, and catch the lint in a vacuum at the far opening.
Everything goes back together, the dryer runs again, and we record the new airflow for you.

Four steps, each one on paper — so you always know what happens next.
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 run, yearly is fine. Daily loads, a roof termination, or a shedding dog are reasons to come back every six to eight months.
We tell you when one needs replacing and why. Replacement with rigid metal duct is quoted separately from the cleaning.
No. The dryer duct and the flue are unrelated systems. Booked on its own, the chimney visit is $99 with tax added, and it is subtracted from any chimney quote you accept.
A $99 on-site inspection, a written quote before any work, and photos of every item we touch.
