High Point, King County
Dryer vent cleaning in High Point costs $105 to $295. The bottom figure fits a short duct ending in a wall hood near the ground. Length, a roof or upper-floor outlet, or nesting material inside will raise it. Of everything we offer, this is the service that applies to the most homes in the neighborhood, because it does not depend on having a fireplace at all: any house, townhome or apartment with a vented dryer has a duct that fills with lint.

The lint screen in the dryer door catches only part of what the drum sheds. Everything else rides out with the hot air and drops where that air loses speed, which means bends, seams and any outlet flap that no longer swings. As the passage narrows, loads take longer, the dryer runs hotter and the lint already inside is baked dry. We clear the whole length with rotary brushes and air, from the dryer connection all the way out to the wall or roof cap, and replace crushed foil connectors with rigid or semi-rigid metal.
High Point's neighborhood site puts the community's population above 4,000 on its 120 acres. The Seattle Housing Authority's breakdown of the 1,529 homes includes 350 public housing units and 250 affordable rentals alongside those sold at market rate. Owner or tenant, most of those households do laundry at home.
Because the buildings were all completed after 2003, their ducts were installed under modern rules and are generally metal. Age works differently here than on a chimney: a duct does not wear out, it clogs. A home from the first phases has had some twenty years of lint, and unless someone has cleaned the run since, much of that is still inside it.
Every dryer vent cleaning we do in High Point includes:
Smoke coming back into the room, or a smell that won't go? Book the inspection first.
Book nowLayout decides difficulty. In a stacked or attached home the laundry is often placed in the middle of the floor plan, away from an outside wall, which means a longer duct with more turns before it reaches daylight. We cannot know your routing from the street, so the visit begins by finding both ends and estimating the length between them. If the hood is three stories up, that is where the staging cost in our range comes from.
We find where the duct leaves the building and gauge its length and number of bends.
A reading at the hood with the dryer running sets the baseline.
Rotary brushes work the lint loose from one end while air carries it to a collection bag at the other.
The second reading shows the gain, and we note any section that is crushed, disconnected or too long.
A dryer hood is a small opening with a light flap, and it sits outdoors all year. High Point was replanted with 2,600 trees during the redevelopment, per the housing authority. Seed fluff, leaves and twigs find these openings, and birds looking for a warm cavity find them too.
The city's windstorm analysis describes West Seattle as one of Seattle's most heavily treed areas. After a blustery week it is worth glancing at the hood from the ground: a flap wedged open by debris lets cold air and pests in, and one wedged shut sends moist air back into the laundry room. We clear and test the flap on every visit.

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 most households, yearly. Large families, pets and long ducts shorten that; a single person with a short run can stretch it.
Usually the owner or the property manager, since the duct is part of the building. Tell them about slow drying; it is a maintenance item they will want to know about.
Yes, when each unit has its own duct to the outside, which is the normal arrangement. If we find ducts joined together, we stop and report it to you.
