Bothell, King County
Dryer vent cleaning in Bothell costs $105 to $295. A short run straight through a wall sits at the low end; a long duct through an attic, a roof termination or a vent packed with lint or a nest costs more. What we are after is a duct with no lint left in it, so the dryer's hot, damp exhaust leaves the house quickly and the machine stops running double cycles.

More than half of Bothell's housing is single-family detached homes, about 54 percent by Census count, with attached homes and apartments making up the rest. Where the laundry sits upstairs or in the middle of a house, the duct has to snake through a ceiling or wall to reach an outside hood or a roof cap.
In winter, two sets of advice reach Bothell homes. The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency posts air quality burn bans for the whole city online, by phone at 800-595-4341 and by alert, and those bans stop wood fireplaces and stoves. Bothell Fire's winter safety page adds its own list for the heating season.
That list puts dryers next to fireplaces: keep the vents for furnaces, stoves, fireplaces and dryers clear of snow and debris. A dryer does not stop running on a ban day, so its vent deserves the same attention as the chimney through the cold months.
Every dryer vent cleaning we do in Bothell includes:
Smoke coming back into the room, or a smell that won't go? Book the inspection first.

From about early October to the first of May, the odds of any given Bothell day turning wet top one in three, per WeatherSpark, and November averages roughly 17 of them. Clothes that cannot go on a line outdoors end up in the dryer, so the vent works hardest in the same months.
A dryer vent in this climate also carries a lot of moisture. Washington's code requires smooth metal duct, a backdraft damper and no screen at the hood, all of which help moist, lint-laden air get out instead of settling in the duct.
We measure how much air leaves the hood with the dryer running so we can compare after cleaning.
We slide the dryer forward, look over the flexible connector and open the duct where it enters the wall.
Rotary brushes and a vacuum clear the duct from the laundry room to the hood or roof cap.
Everything is reconnected, airflow measured again, and you get photos of the lint removed.

$105 to $295. A short wall vent costs least; a long attic run, a roof exit or a clogged or nested duct costs more.
Under Washington's residential code, 35 feet is the ceiling for a 4-inch smooth metal run, and bends eat into it: subtract 5 feet per 90-degree turn and 2.5 feet per 45-degree turn. The flexible transition hose may be one piece no longer than 8 feet, and must stay visible.
No. The code forbids a screen at the termination because it catches lint. The hood should have a backdraft damper instead, and stay 3 feet or more away from openings into the house and ventilated soffits.
