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 Snohomish
Dryer vent cleaning in Snohomish typically runs $180 – $340 for a standard residential job, with most single-family homes falling in the $220 – $280 range. We dispatch crews from our Seattle office and serve Snohomish homes along the riverfront, up the hillside tracts, and through the historic downtown blocks. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
We’ve worked on enough Snohomish homes to know the difference between a quick lint pull and a real fix. The 1910s Craftsman on Avenue D needs a different approach than the 1985 split-level off Blackmans Lake. Our technicians carry camera gear, HEPA filtration, and sealing materials on every truck because the real problem is usually deeper than the lint trap.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Snohomish’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Hollis Air Duct Cleaning has been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004. We operate under The Garrison Standard, which means we arrive inside the quoted window, price the job in writing before touching anything, and leave the site clean. That standard travels with our crews into Snohomish on every call.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team serves Snohomish from dispatch coordinated through our Seattle office. We know the local conditions: the river valley fog that settles in October and doesn’t lift until March, the original unlined metal ductwork in the historic district, the hillside flex runs that sag and trap lint. This isn’t generic knowledge. It’s what we find on actual jobs in Snohomish.
Roy Castellanos built Hollis on the principle that a written price and a written guarantee beat a low-ball phone quote every time. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every dryer vent cleaning job in Snohomish: if the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. No negotiation, no runaround.

Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Snohomish
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Snohomish covers multi-unit laundry facilities, apartment complexes, senior living centers, and commercial laundries where dryers run continuous cycles and lint accumulates at industrial rates. A commercial system in Snohomish typically costs $400 – $800 per bank of dryers, with larger facilities requiring custom quotes based on run length, termination type, and access difficulty. We schedule these jobs during off-hours to avoid disrupting tenants or operations.
Multi-Unit and Apartment Laundry Systems
Apartment laundry rooms in Snohomish often share a common vent stack that runs three or four floors before terminating through the roof. These vertical runs collect lint at every elbow and reduction fitting. We use Nikro negative-air machines to establish controlled suction while rotary brushes break the lint free, preventing backflow into individual units.
Restaurant and Hospitality Dryer Exhaust
Restaurants and bed-and-breakfasts near Snohomish’s historic downtown process towels and linens daily. Their commercial dryers run hotter and harder than residential units, producing denser lint deposits and higher fire risk. We inspect these systems with borescope cameras and document condition before and after cleaning.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Snohomish
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Snohomish means source-removing lint and debris from the full vent run, from the dryer’s transition duct to the exterior termination, then verifying airflow and proper draft. For a typical Snohomish home, this service runs $180 – $340 depending on run length, access difficulty, and whether we find disconnected or damaged ductwork that needs sealing. We do not quote per-vent teaser prices that balloon at the door. The price we write down before starting is the price you pay.
Camera Inspection and Problem Location
We run a borescope through the vent run before and after cleaning. In Snohomish’s older homes, this often reveals the real trouble: a disconnected joint behind plaster, a crushed section where someone drove a drywall screw, or decades of compacted lint past an elbow that a standard brush would push deeper. Camera inspection lets us target the fix instead of guessing.
Sealing and Restoration of Damaged Runs
When we find disconnected or damaged ductwork, we seal with mastic and foil tape rated for dryer exhaust temperatures. In historic Snohomish homes with original unlined metal runs, we sometimes need to replace short sections with modern smooth-wall ducting to restore proper airflow. We price this work in writing before starting the repair.
Trusted Brands We Service in Snohomish
Our trucks carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, the same brands commercial crews use. Rotobrush rotary brush systems break stubborn lint deposits loose from duct walls. Nikro negative-air machines maintain controlled suction so debris exits the system rather than settling in your laundry room. For filtration and sanitizing, we use products from Guardsman and other professional suppliers. We stock common fittings, transition ducts, and termination caps so most Snohomish jobs finish in one visit without waiting on parts.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Snohomish Homes
- Original unlined metal runs packed with decades of lint. In the historic downtown and riverfront neighborhoods, we regularly find 1920s-era metal ductwork that was never designed for dryer exhaust. The rough interior surface traps lint, and disconnected joints behind walls let it accumulate for years before anyone notices the dryer struggling.
- River valley fog creates moist, moldy lint plugs. Snohomish’s fall and winter fog keeps vent runs damp for weeks. Dry lint brushes out easy. Wet, moldy lint mats into a dense plug that needs aggressive agitation and post-cleaning sanitizing to fully clear.
- Hillside flex duct sags and crushes at low points. The 1970s – 1990s homes on Snohomish’s hillsides often have short flex runs that seem simple. But the low point traps lint, and a careless crew with a shop vac misses crushed sections hidden behind walls. Camera inspection finds what surface cleaning misses.
- Improper terminations into crawlspaces or attics. Older Snohomish homes sometimes terminate dryer vents into unfinished spaces instead of outside. This dumps moisture and lint into areas with no ventilation, creating mold risks and fire hazards that need rerouting, not just cleaning.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Snohomish
Historic downtown and riverfront homes often have original unlined metal ductwork or long gravity runs with rough interior surfaces that trap lint, while hillside tract homes from the 1970s – 1990s typically use shorter flex duct. Your older system may also have disconnected joints or improper slope that lets lint settle instead of blowing through. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll camera-inspect to find the exact cause.
Yes, but it requires controlled agitation and camera guidance, not brute-force brushing. We use Rotobrush systems with adjustable tension and HEPA-contained negative air from Nikro machines to remove lint without stressing fragile metal or dislodging old joints. We also inspect for structural integrity and seal any failed connections before finishing. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
Yes. The persistent fog from October through March keeps vent runs damp for weeks, which turns lint into a moist, moldy mass that ordinary dry-brush methods won’t clear. Our standard process in Snohomish includes post-cleaning sanitizing to address this climate-specific issue. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection if you smell mustiness from your laundry room.
We locate the termination with a camera, then reroute the vent to proper exterior discharge using smooth-wall ducting and code-compliant fittings. Terminating into unfinished spaces dumps moisture and creates fire and mold hazards. We price rerouting in writing before starting the work. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
We clean both. Commercial systems in Snohomish apartment complexes, senior living facilities, and hospitality businesses typically run $400 – $800 per bank of dryers depending on configuration. We schedule these jobs during off-hours and use commercial-grade negative-air equipment to handle the higher lint volumes. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss your facility’s needs.
