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 Battle Ground
Dryer vent cleaning in Battle Ground, WA typically runs $150 – $275 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs are scheduled within a few days of your call. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we’ve been clearing lint, construction debris, and blockages from dryer vents since 2004. Our dispatch team coordinates from our Seattle office, but our crews live and work in the Battle Ground area, so we know the difference between a 1980s ranch near downtown and a new townhome stack off WA-503. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
Battle Ground’s housing mix creates vent configurations you won’t find in every market. Older homes near Main Street usually have short, direct runs to a garage or basement sidewall. But the subdivisions spreading north and east, many built in the last five to ten years, often route multiple dryer vents through shared exterior wall chases or stacked roofline penetrations. That shared architecture means lint from one unit can migrate into another’s pathway, and a blockage in the chase affects several households at once. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team carries the equipment and training to handle both patterns, and we price each job in writing before we touch a tool.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Battle Ground’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Battle Ground on showing up when we said we would, pricing the job before we start, and leaving the site clean. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it applies to every appointment we run in Clark County.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so you know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. We don’t send day-laborers or subcontractors. Every tech carries a Rotobrush rotary brush system and Nikro negative-air equipment with HEPA filtration, the same tools commercial crews use, and they explain what they’re doing in plain terms while they work.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday morning to schedule. If you’re in a townhome cluster off NE 72nd Avenue or a newer build near Battle Ground Lake, we’ll coordinate access around your building’s parking restrictions and get you a firm appointment window.
Every repair and cleaning is covered 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. That’s not a verbal assurance; it’s written on every job sheet.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Battle Ground
Dryer Vent Inspection in Battle Ground is the first step we recommend for any homeowner who’s noticed longer dry times, a hot laundry room, or a burning smell near the drum. Our inspection runs a flexible borescope camera through the full vent run, from the back of your dryer to the exterior termination, so we can show you exactly what’s inside the duct without guessing. In Battle Ground’s market, a standalone inspection typically costs $89 – $125, and if you proceed with cleaning, we credit that fee toward the full service. For new homeowners in the WA-503 subdivisions, we often find construction debris that builders never cleared, and the camera footage proves it before we quote any additional work.
When to Schedule an Inspection
Book an inspection if your dryer needs more than one cycle to dry a standard load, if you see excess lint behind the dryer, or if it’s been more than a year since your last cleaning. In Battle Ground’s newer townhomes, we also recommend an inspection before your one-year builder warranty expires, since construction debris left in the vent is a defect that should be documented early.
What the Camera Reveals
Our borescope identifies lint accumulation, crushed or sagging flexible duct, bird nests, and moisture damage from condensation. In shared chases common to north-Battle Ground subdivisions, the camera also spots lint migration from neighboring units, a problem a surface-level check will miss.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Battle Ground
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Battle Ground covers multi-unit residential buildings, townhome associations, and light commercial laundry facilities where vent runs are longer, shared, or subject to higher use cycles than single-family homes. We clean the full duct network from each dryer connection to the exterior termination, using Nikro negative-air machines and rotary brush agitation to dislodge packed lint without damaging flexible duct. For commercial accounts in Battle Ground, pricing typically starts at $275 for a standard multi-unit stack and scales with the number of drops, total linear footage, and access difficulty. We provide a written scope and price before any work begins, and we schedule around tenant occupancy to minimize disruption.
Apartment and Townhome Stacks
Shared vent chases in buildings near downtown Battle Ground or along the NE 72nd Avenue corridor require coordinated access to multiple units. Our crew maps the chase topology before cleaning, identifies which drops feed which exterior terminations, and verifies airflow at each hood with a manometer before we leave.
Documentation for Property Managers
We provide before-and-after photo documentation, airflow readings, and a written completion report for every commercial job. If your Battle Ground property carries insurance or fire-safety requirements, this documentation satisfies most carrier inspection requests without a separate visit.
Trusted Brands We Service in Battle Ground
We stock replacement parts and transition ducts for the brands most common in Battle Ground homes, including Honeywell vent caps and dampers, Aprilaire humidity controls where they’re integrated with the laundry area, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration accessories for our Nikro negative-air machines. If your vent termination is damaged or your bird guard has failed, we carry the hardware to fix it on the same visit rather than ordering parts and making you wait. Our Rotobrush rotary brush systems handle the flexible duct and rigid pipe configurations found in both older downtown Battle Ground homes and the newer subdivisions off WA-503.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Battle Ground Homes
- Construction debris in new WA-503 subdivisions: Builders in the fast-growing areas north and east of downtown Battle Ground often leave dryer vent runs partially blocked with drywall dust and wood shavings. New homeowners assume a new house means clean vents, but we regularly find pathways packed with material that never made it out during final cleanup.
- Shared chases in multi-unit buildings: In newer townhomes and apartment clusters, multiple dryer vents terminate through the same exterior wall chase or stacked roof penetration. Lint from one unit migrates into another’s pathway, so a single-unit cleaning often misses the real blockage and the problem returns within a season.
- Restricted access in dense developments: Tight parking and narrow walkways near downtown Battle Ground force crews to run longer hose lengths from the van or park blocks away. That distance can reduce negative pressure at the vent termination and leave lint behind if the technician doesn’t compensate with higher-capacity equipment.
- Seasonal humidity effects on lint adhesion: Battle Ground’s valley location produces cold, damp winters and warm, dry summers. The humidity swings cause lint to become sticky and cling to duct walls in winter, then dry and become airborne during summer heating cycles, spreading through the system and accumulating at bends and terminations.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Battle Ground, WA
Most standard dryer vent cleanings in Battle Ground run $150 – $275 for a single-family home with a direct vent run of 15 feet or less. Townhomes and apartments with shared chases or longer duct runs typically fall in the $225 – $375 range, depending on how many units share the pathway and whether we need to coordinate access with neighbors. Commercial multi-unit stacks start at $275 and scale with drop count and linear footage.
What moves the price: length and complexity of the vent run, whether the duct is rigid or flexible, accessibility of the exterior termination, and whether we find construction debris or bird nesting that requires additional agitation time. We do not charge per vent or add fees at the door. The price we write down before work starts is the price you pay. Estimates are free, and we credit your inspection fee toward cleaning if you proceed. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Battle Ground
Builders rarely clean the full duct run after construction, and the flexible duct common in newer Battle Ground homes traps drywall dust, wood shavings, and insulation scraps that restrict airflow from day one. We recommend an inspection within your first six months of occupancy to document any construction debris before your builder warranty expires. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
We can clean your individual drop, but if the shared chase or common wall cavity holds lint from multiple units, the blockage will likely recur. We inspect the full chase topology with a camera, explain what we find, and can coordinate with your HOA or neighboring unit to clean the shared section if needed. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll map your specific configuration.
Battle Ground’s cold, damp winters make lint sticky and prone to clinging at duct bends, while warm, dry summers dry it out and allow it to migrate toward the exterior termination. That seasonal cycle means lint accumulates in different parts of the system depending on when you clean, so we inspect the full run rather than just the visible sections. Call (361) 326-5060 for a full-scope inspection.
Yes, our process aligns with NADCA ACR guidelines for mechanical cleaning of dryer exhaust ducts, including source removal with agitation, negative-air containment, and post-cleaning airflow verification.
