Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterFast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Five Corners
Dryer vent cleaning in Five Corners typically runs $150 – $275 for a standard residential system, and most jobs are completed in under two hours with the dryer back in service the same day. If you’re running two cycles to dry a load of towels, or if your laundry room feels unusually warm during operation, the vent run is likely choked with lint, harvest dust, or both.
We serve Five Corners from our Seattle dispatch office, with crews covering the rural lanes off Northeast 72nd Avenue, the ranch properties along Northeast 112th Street, and the split-level neighborhoods near Five Corners Park. These roads aren’t on every service map, but they’re on ours. We’ve been driving them since 2004. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Five Corners’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Five Corners homeowners don’t call us because we’re the cheapest outfit in Clark County. They call because the last crew gave a phone quote that jumped forty percent at the door, or because a technician showed up in an unmarked van and couldn’t explain what he was doing. We don’t work that way.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Five Corners crews arrive inside the quoted window, in uniform, with background-checked techs whose names you get before they pull into your drive. Every price is written down before any tool touches your vent. If the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s backed in writing on every job, not mentioned once in a handshake and forgotten.
Phones are answered by a live person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops. No callback queues on a Saturday night when you smell something hot from the laundry room.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Five Corners
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company work in Five Corners means more than pulling a lint trap and calling it done. Because this area sits in the heart of Washington’s hazelnut and grass-seed belt, late-spring and summer harvest dust storms push fine organic particulate into every opening in a home. That chaff packs behind dryer transition ducts, mats into flex-run corrugations, and jams damper flaps at wall caps. A standard lint load is bad enough. Add harvest debris and you’re looking at restricted airflow, longer dry times, and the real risk of overheating.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team uses rotary brush agitation tools and negative-air extraction to clear the full lint pathway from the blower housing to the exterior termination. For Five Corners homes with dryers in outbuildings or converted garages, we camera-inspect long runs that snake through unconditioned crawlspaces before we commit to a cleaning method. The price is agreed before we start. It does not move.
Outbuilding and Garage Dryer Runs
Many Five Corners properties sit on large lots with dryers installed in detached shops, barns, or garage conversions. These vent runs often exceed twenty-five feet, terminate at rodent-guarded wall caps, and pass through areas no homeowner checks regularly. We pull the full flex run when accessible, camera-map rigid sections when we can’t, and never guess at what’s inside.
Harvest Season Load Clearing
After grass-seed harvest, we see a spike in Five Corners calls where the dryer “just stopped working right.” Usually the lint screen is clear but the transition duct behind the dryer is packed with chaff. We disassemble, inspect, and clear that junction every time. No exceptions.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Five Corners
Dryer Vent Inspection in Five Corners should happen before you buy a home with an outbuilding laundry setup, after any harvest season if dry times have increased, and whenever you’re considering replacing a dryer that “just doesn’t heat like it used to.” Low winter humidity and dry dust loads here mean residents often blame the appliance when the real problem is a choked vent pathway.
A Hollis inspection covers the transition duct, full vent run, exterior termination, damper operation, and blower housing access. We run a camera through rigid sections, measure airflow before and after, and give you a written report with photos. If cleaning is needed, the inspection fee is applied toward the service. If your system is clear, you have documentation for your records.
Pre-Purchase Rural Property Checks
Five Corners home buyers frequently encounter dryers in converted garages or pole buildings with vent runs that haven’t been inspected in decades. We document the run material, length, termination type, and any code issues so you know what you’re inheriting before closing.
Appliance vs. Vent Diagnostics
We regularly save Five Corners homeowners the cost of a new dryer by proving the existing unit is fine and the vent is the culprit. Our techs measure temperature rise and airflow at the drum and compare it to manufacturer spec. Numbers don’t lie.
Trusted Brands We Service in Five Corners
Hollis crews carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman, the same rotary brush systems and negative-air machines used in Air Duct Cleaning in Five Corners. For Five Corners homes with older vent configurations, we stock replacement flex duct, rigid aluminum pipe, and rodent-resistant wall caps so we’re not making a second trip to Seattle for parts. Most repairs and replacements are completed same visit. If your vent run needs rerouting or a bird guard installed to keep agricultural debris and nesting material out, we price it in writing and handle it on the spot.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Five Corners Homes
- Chaff-packed transition ducts after harvest season. Grass-seed and hazelnut chaff is lighter than lint and floats past the screen, packing behind the dryer where a homeowner can’t see it. We find it with a mirror and a light, then clear it with agitation tools.
- Brittle 1970s flex duct that tears during cleaning. Many Five Corners ranches and split-levels still have original flex runs with collars that crack when disturbed. We inspect before we brush, replace damaged sections with modern rigid or semi-rigid duct, and never leave a joint dislodged in a crawlspace.
- Long outbuilding runs with hidden blockages near the wall cap. A dryer in a shop or garage may vent through thirty feet of duct with multiple bends. Lint and chaff accumulate at the far end where a short snake can’t reach. We camera-locate and extract with negative-air pull from the exterior.
- Damper flaps jammed open by debris or corrosion. Five Corners’s wet winters rust flappers; dry summers pack them with dust. An open flap lets cold air in and heated air out. We clean, lubricate, or replace as needed.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Five Corners, WA
A typical dryer vent cleaning in Five Corners runs $150 – $275 for a standard residential system with accessible transition duct and wall cap termination.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Five Corners
Every twelve to eighteen months for most Five Corners homes, and every nine to twelve months if your dryer vents from an outbuilding, garage, or shop. Harvest dust loads here are heavier than in urban markets, and rural properties with longer runs accumulate debris faster. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule an inspection and we’ll tell you if your interval should be shorter.
Yes, but we inspect the collars and corrugations first. Original flex duct in Five Corners ranches is often brittle at the joints; aggressive brushing can tear it and drop lint into wall cavities or crawlspaces. If we find deterioration, we’ll show you on camera and quote replacement with modern semi-rigid or rigid duct before proceeding. The price is written down before any work starts.
Both. Grass-seed and hazelnut chaff is fine enough to pass lint screens and pack into dryer transition ducts, especially during late-spring and summer harvest. We’ve pulled handfuls of organic debris from vent runs that homeowners assumed were lint-only. If your dry times increased after harvest season, the vent is the first place to check. Call (361) 326-5060 for a camera inspection.
Yes. Fire risk depends on lint accumulation and airflow restriction, not just run length. A short vent with a packed transition duct or jammed damper flap overheats just as fast as a long one. In Five Corners, harvest chaff accelerates the blockage. We measure temperature rise and airflow on every job to verify safe operation.
We inspect the transition duct, full run length, termination type, damper operation, and blower housing. For outbuilding or garage dryers on large lots, we camera-map the full pathway and document any code issues like improper slope, unsupported flex, or missing backdraft dampers. You receive a written report with photos. If cleaning or repair is needed, the inspection fee applies to the work.
