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.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Woodland’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Woodland on showing up inside the window and pricing in writing before any work starts. That discipline matters here because so many Woodland homes, especially the older ranch-style houses near downtown and the bungalows along Goerig Street, have vent runs that snake through crawl spaces or attics in ways that surprise technicians who don’t know local construction. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they arrive with professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro, not hardware-store attachments that leave lint behind.
Woodland homeowners have told us the same story too many times: a cheap coupon price that doubled once the crew saw the job. We don’t operate that way. The price we write down is the price you pay, backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you never wait through a voicemail loop when you need to schedule.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Woodland
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company work in Woodland means more than blowing out a tube. We’re dealing with a city where the damp Pacific Northwest climate, especially the heavy winter rains that saturate the air from November through March, creates conditions where lint compacts and clings to vent walls instead of passing through. Add in the fact that many Woodland homes, particularly the mid-century builds near Horseshoe Lake and the split-levels off Columbia Street, have vent runs exceeding 25 feet with multiple bends, and you’ve got a system that traps debris and backs up heat.
A typical dryer vent cleaning in Woodland runs $150 – $220 for a straight through-wall vent up to 15 feet. Longer runs with multiple elbows, roof terminations, or crawl-space routing run $220 – $280. We price by the system complexity, not by the foot, so you’re not watching a meter tick while we work.
What the Cleaning Process Covers
We disconnect the dryer, inspect the full run with a borescope camera, then use a Rotobrush rotary brush system combined with negative-air extraction to remove compacted lint from the entire duct. The rotary brush scrubs the duct walls while the Nikro negative-air machine pulls debris out at the far end, so nothing blows back into your laundry room. We finish by testing airflow with an anemometer and reassembling everything clean.
When Woodland Homeowners Should Schedule
If your dryer takes more than one cycle to dry a standard load, if the exterior vent flap barely opens during operation, or if you smell burning lint when the dryer runs, you’re overdue. For Woodland’s climate, we recommend annual cleaning for households that run four or more loads weekly, and every 18 months for lighter use. Homes near the Columbia River gorge, where wind-driven rain can force moisture into exterior vent caps, may need more frequent inspection.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Woodland
Dryer Vent Inspection in Woodland starts with understanding what this specific environment does to your system. Woodland’s location at the confluence of the Lewis and Columbia Rivers means higher ambient humidity year-round compared to Portland or even Vancouver across the river. That moisture combines with lint to form dense, almost felt-like blockages that standard cleaning might miss if nobody looks first. Our inspection catches these problems before they become fire hazards or dryer failures.
A standalone dryer vent inspection in Woodland costs $89 – $129. If you proceed with cleaning the same day, we apply the inspection fee toward the full service price. We also bundle inspections with our Air Duct Cleaning in Woodland for homeowners who want their full HVAC and laundry ventilation assessed at once.
Camera Inspection and Documentation
We feed a borescope through the full vent run and record what we find. You’ll see the lint buildup, any moisture damage, disconnected joints, or pest intrusion. In Woodland, we regularly find bird nests in roof-terminated vents and crushed flex duct in homes where the dryer was pushed back too far against the wall. The camera doesn’t lie, and we show you the footage before quoting any work.
Code Compliance and Safety Check
Woodland follows the Washington State Building Code and Clark County amendments for dryer vent installation. We check that your vent material is proper rigid or semi-rigid metal, not the plastic flex that ignites and that we still find in older homes near downtown. We verify termination points, clearances from combustibles, and proper backdraft dampers. If your system doesn’t meet code, we explain exactly what needs changing and what it costs before touching anything.
Trusted Brands We Service in Woodland
We stock replacement parts and vent hardware from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman, so Woodland customers aren’t waiting on shipped components when a vent cap fails or a bird guard needs installation. Our trucks carry rigid metal duct, proper elbows, roof and wall termination kits, and the specialized screening that keeps wildlife out without restricting airflow. That inventory means most repairs and upgrades happen same-day, not after a second trip. When we recommend a brand, it’s because we’ve installed it in Woodland homes and watched it hold up to our wet winters and the occasional summer heat spike.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Woodland Homes
- Long vent runs in older homes. Many Woodland houses built between 1940 and 1970, especially the ranch homes near Woodland High School, have dryer vents that run 30-plus feet through crawl spaces with three or more 90-degree bends. These configurations lose airflow velocity and let lint settle where no homeowner can reach.
- Moisture-compacted lint blockages. Woodland’s winter humidity, often above 80 percent from December through February, causes lint to absorb moisture and compress into hard plugs. These blockages don’t respond to simple blowing and need rotary brush agitation plus negative-air extraction to remove completely.
- Improper roof terminations. We see too many Woodland homes with vents terminating through the roof without proper flashing or backdraft dampers. Rain enters, soaks the lint below, and creates a mold-friendly mass that restricts airflow and corrodes the duct from the inside.
- Damaged flex duct behind the dryer. In the tighter laundry spaces common in Woodland’s older homes, homeowners push the dryer against the wall and crush the transition duct. This creates an immediate fire hazard and often goes unnoticed until we pull the unit out for inspection.
