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 Everett
Dryer vent cleaning in Everett typically costs $120 – $280 for a standard residential single-family home, with multi-unit shared-stack jobs running $180 – $450 depending on how many units tie into the same vertical exhaust. Our crews dispatch from the Seattle office and carry portable HEPA filtration units, rotary agitation tools, and camera inspection gear built for Everett’s older housing stock and restricted alley access.
We know the difference between a direct through-wall vent in a post-1990 Marysville split-level and the shared vertical stacks you’ll find in a 1920s four-plex off Wetmore Avenue in Bayside. That local knowledge changes what tools we bring, how we price the job, and whether we can solve your slow-dryer problem for good or just patch it until the next unit’s lint backs up into your line again. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Everett’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been serving Snohomish County since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our Everett customers get the same standard: written price, background-checked uniformed technician, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise backed in writing. If the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Our 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 to schedule.
We run Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines with HEPA filtration, not hardware-store shop vacs. In Everett’s damp climate, that matters. Lint here mats down with moisture and clings to duct walls. Simple suction won’t touch it. Our agitation tools break that bond, then negative pressure pulls it out under contained filtration.
The Garrison Standard applies to every job: arrive inside the quoted window, price in writing before touching equipment, complete the work by the book, leave the site clean. No exceptions.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Everett
Dryer Vent Inspection in Everett starts with a camera run through the full lint pathway, from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, because what you can’t see in these older buildings will cost you. A typical inspection runs $89 – $149 for a single-family home and $120 – $220 for multi-unit shared stacks. We document everything: blockage location, duct condition, improper materials like plastic flex hose or PVC pipe that violate current codes, and whether your vent terminates under a deck, into a garage, or through a wall cap that’s failed.
Camera Documentation
Our techs feed a self-leveling camera through the duct and save the footage to show you exactly what’s inside. In Everett’s Bayside and Delta neighborhoods, we regularly find original sheet-metal ductwork with riveted seams that have never been inspected, coated with black grime mixed with evergreen pollen and moss spores. That combination doesn’t occur in drier cities, and it changes how we clean it.
Written Findings and Pricing
After inspection, you get a written report with photos, a clear diagnosis, and a fixed price for any recommended cleaning or repair. The price does not move once work begins. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how we’ve operated since 2004.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Everett
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Everett covers laundromats, apartment complex laundry rooms, senior living facilities, and any business running commercial-grade dryers with higher exhaust volumes and longer duct runs. A typical commercial job in Everett runs $280 – $650 for standard configurations, with complex multi-story systems or after-hours scheduling reaching $800 – $1,400. We work around your operating hours, coordinate with property managers, and provide documentation for insurance and fire marshal inspections.
Multi-Unit Property Coordination
Property managers in Everett’s older multi-unit buildings face a specific problem: shared vertical dryer stacks mean one blocked unit affects neighbors above and below. We inspect the full stack, clean from the roof termination down or from access points between floors, and provide per-unit documentation. Our crew coordinates entry with tenants so you’re not chasing signatures for a week.
Code Compliance and Fire Safety
Commercial dryers in Everett must exhaust to the exterior with proper clearance from combustibles. We flag code violations like PVC pipe (it melts), plastic flex hose (it ignites), and terminations too close to intake vents. Our report gives you what you need to bring the system current and reduce fire liability.
Trusted Brands We Service in Everett
We stock parts and service equipment from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies, so Everett customers aren’t waiting a week for a specialty order. Honeywell ventilation controls, Aprilaire humidity management components, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration media are on our trucks or available next-day through our Seattle-area supply chain. For dryer vent repairs and replacements, we carry metal transition ducts, wall caps with bird guards, and fire-rated access panels that meet current Snohomish County codes. Fast turnaround matters when a blocked vent has shut down a four-unit laundry room or a laundromat’s production line.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Everett Homes
- Shared vertical stacks in older multi-unit buildings. In Bayside and Delta neighborhoods, one unit’s lint blockage backs exhaust into neighboring units. Cleaning just your branch line leaves the main stack clogged. We clean the full pathway.
- Lint matting from persistent humidity. Everett’s roughly 160 rainy days per year keep ambient moisture high. Lint absorbs that humidity, compresses against duct walls, and won’t blow free with suction alone. Our rotary agitation tools break it loose.
- Restricted equipment access in dense neighborhoods. Narrow alleys and limited parking near older Everett buildings mean our truck-mounted negative-air units can’t always position close. We carry portable Nikro HEPA units that perform the same function without the footprint.
- Original sheet-metal ductwork with riveted seams. Much of Everett’s housing stock was built between 1900 and 1950 with unsealed seams that collect debris and leak exhaust into wall cavities. We inspect seam integrity and recommend sealing when needed.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Everett
No, and anyone who says they can is leaving the real problem in place. We clean the full shared vertical stack from the roof termination down, because lint in the main column backs up into every connected unit. We were called to a 1920s four-plex on Wetmore Avenue in the Bayside neighborhood where a tenant reported their dryer taking two full cycles to dry a load. Using camera inspection, our tech found the shared vertical dryer stack was packed with decades of lint, evergreen pollen, and moss spores. We ran agitation tools through the full lint pathway under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, pulled out the accumulated debris, and all four units’ dryers returned to normal dry times. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule a full-stack inspection.
Everett’s damp, mild climate with roughly 160 rainy days per year causes lint to absorb ambient moisture, mat down, and cling to duct walls instead of blowing free. That means vents here clog faster than in drier climates and require agitation tools rather than simple vacuuming to clear completely. Most Everett single-family homes need cleaning every 12 – 18 months; multi-unit shared stacks every 8 – 12 months due to combined usage. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll assess your specific building.
Yes. Our rotary brush agitation, negative-air containment, and HEPA filtration follow NADCA-recommended methods for residential and commercial dryer vent cleaning. We document before-and-after conditions with camera footage, protect the work area, and verify proper airflow at termination. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers our Everett work in writing: if it fails within a year, we return at no charge. Call (361) 326-5060 for documentation on your specific job.
Commercial dryers exhaust more lint volume through longer duct runs, often with multiple elbows that create blockage points. Downtown Everett buildings may have roof terminations three or four stories up, requiring ladder or lift access, and scheduling must coordinate with business hours or tenant laundry schedules. Residential jobs are simpler: shorter runs, direct access, single-unit usage patterns. Commercial pricing reflects the complexity: $280 – $650 for standard setups, $800 – $1,400 for multi-story or after-hours work. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written commercial estimate.
Yes. Much of Everett’s housing stock built between 1900 and 1950 uses original sheet-metal ductwork with riveted seams that lack factory sealing. Those seams collect decades of debris and can leak exhaust into wall cavities, creating both blockage and safety issues. We inspect seam integrity during our camera run and note whether sealing or section replacement is needed. The cleaning itself requires care to avoid damaging aged metal. Our written report gives you the full picture. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
