Maple Valley, King County
In Maple Valley we charge $105 to $259 for dryer vent cleaning. $105 applies to a stubby duct leaving by a first-floor wall. $259 is a lengthy run, a termination high on the house or on the roof, or a nest plugging the pipe. The cleaning starts at the dryer's rear outlet and ends at the outdoor hood, with airflow measured before and after.

Maple Valley is a city of houses. Single-family detached houses make up about 83.8% of the housing stock, by Census Bureau estimates; King County as a whole stands at 50.0%. A detached house means a private dryer duct that no building manager looks after. Dryers start an estimated 2,900 house fires a year in the United States, by the reckoning of the federal fire administration (USFA). Failure to clean leads its list of contributing factors with 34 percent, and January is the worst month.
Every dryer vent cleaning we do in Maple Valley includes:
Smoke coming back into the room, or a smell that won't go? Book the inspection first.
Book nowHow a duct is built decides how fast it clogs. Under Washington's residential code a dryer exhaust may run 35 feet at most. Rigid, smooth metal is required, with a 4-inch minimum diameter, and the pipe must end outside the house, and a domestic booster fan is not allowed. A duct that climbs through an attic to a roof jack, or snakes across a floor to reach an outside wall, uses up that allowance and gives lint more places to settle. Outside, the hood is at the mercy of the neighborhood: on wooded lots, needles jam the flap open and birds treat a warm vent as a nesting box.
We run the dryer and record airflow at the outside hood. That number is the baseline.
The dryer comes away from the wall. Foil or plastic flex hose is flagged, since the code calls for smooth metal duct.
Flexible rods spin a brush head through the pipe, and a vacuum at the other end catches the lint. Roof exits are cleaned from the top when the pitch allows.
Nest material and packed lint are removed from the hood, and we make sure the flap swings open and shut easily.
With everything back in place, a second airflow reading shows the difference.

$105 to $259. Duct length, where it exits and what is blocking it are the factors. We give the price before starting.
Yearly is right for the average home. Many loads a week, shedding pets or a lengthy duct shorten that, and slow drying is the cue to book sooner.
It is harder to keep clean, not wrong in itself. Lint has to travel upward and the roof jack cannot be seen from the yard, so yearly cleaning matters more for that layout.
We measure the run and count the bends while we are there. If it goes past what the code and the dryer's manual allow, the written notes say so and suggest a shorter route.
