Kenmore, King County
Dryer vent cleaning in Kenmore costs $105 to $295. Expect the lower figure when the laundry sits against an outside wall and the duct is only a few feet long. A roof exit, an upstairs laundry or birds nesting in the hood adds time and cost. Air speed at the outlet is read twice, once on arrival and once when we finish, and both numbers go on your receipt.

Kenmore has everything from single-story ranch houses, where the dryer vents straight through an outside wall, to split-levels and newer townhomes where the duct climbs through a floor or an attic before reaching the outdoors. The longer and more twisted the path, the faster lint builds up inside it.
Every dryer vent cleaning we do in Kenmore includes:
Smoke coming back into the room, or a smell that won't go? Book the inspection first.
Book nowIn a damp climate, dryers get used for almost every load from fall through spring, and on the wettest days the warm, moist air leaving the duct cools quickly. Lint that gets damp sticks to the duct walls instead of blowing out. Flapper hoods on exterior walls also stick shut or fill with nesting material.
WeatherSpark stretches Kenmore's wet season from about October 10 all the way to April 30. In the regional climate center's summary of western Washington, midwinter is wettest of all, with measurable rain logged on at least 20 to 25 days of both December and January.
When washing cannot be dried outside for half the year, the dryer works harder and longer. The more hours it runs, the more lint collects in the duct, and damp exhaust makes that lint cling.
We record airflow at the outside hood so there is a baseline to compare against once the work is done.
The dryer is moved out and disconnected, and the hood outside is opened to reach the full length of duct.
Brushes and compressed air work through the duct from end to end, with the lint collected rather than blown indoors.
Everything goes back together, airflow is measured again, and you get both readings in writing.

Under M1502 in the state's 2021 residential code, a 4-inch smooth metal dryer duct may run no farther than 35 feet in total. Every right-angle bend subtracts 5 feet from that allowance and every 45-degree bend subtracts 2.5. The run has to finish outside the house, keep 3 feet of distance from doors, windows and vented soffits, and close with a backdraft flap; a screen over the outlet is not permitted.
Screens and overly long runs are the two faults we find most often. These code editions have applied in King County since March 15, 2024, and they are what we compare your vent against.
Kenmore is a city on the northernmost shore of Lake Washington, where the Sammamish River meets the lake, on Lake Washington, with Ranch and Split Level houses from the 1950s and early 1960s beside newer homes, for a median build year of 1985. We work every part of it — Uplake Terrace included.
