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 Lake Stickney Homes Are Different
Lake Stickney’s housing stock is a time capsule of the Puget Sound suburban expansion. Drive through the subdivisions off 44th Avenue West or along the Lake Stickney loop and you’ll find the same pattern repeated: flexible, foil-backed ductwork routed through unconditioned attics and crawlspaces, installed fast and cheap when the market was hot. That ductwork is now 25 – 30 years old, and it’s failing on a predictable schedule.
The marine climate here makes it worse. Three seasons of pollen load the system, then winter rains bring damp that settles into attic insulation and duct lining. Summer wildfire smoke from Eastern Washington finds every gap in that aging flex duct and circulates it through the house. Local crews know the week by the calls: after a windstorm off Puget Sound, or when the alder pollen peaks, the phones light up with neighbors comparing notes on the same clogged, weeping ductwork.
As a census-designated place, Lake Stickney has no municipal duct-cleaning code or permit requirement. What you got in 1998 is what you’re living with, for better or worse.
Our Main Lake Stickney Services
Most Lake Stickney homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full detail on what we do and how we price it.
Air Duct Cleaning in Lake Stickley
We clean the full supply and return network using a Rotobrush rotary brush system or Nikro negative-air machine, depending on duct condition and accessibility. In Lake Stickney, that usually means navigating tight attic hatches and working around original flex duct that’s brittle with age. We pull debris, pollen buildup, and mold-prone dust from every run, then show you before-and-after photos from your own system. Air Duct Cleaning in Lake Stickney covers our full process and pricing.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lake Stickney
Dryer vents in Lake Stickney’s 1990s – 2000s builds were often routed through long horizontal runs to exterior walls, with too few turns and inadequate clearance. Lint accumulates in those low-velocity sections and creates a genuine fire hazard. We clean the full run from appliance to termination, verify airflow with a meter, and flag any flex-duct sections that need replacement per code. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lake Stickney has the details.
Duct Sealing in Lake Stickney
Sealing is where we address the gaps and disconnections that wildfire smoke and attic dust exploit. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners at joints, then pressure-test the system to verify results. In Lake Stickney, this often means repairing where original flex duct has pulled free at the plenum, or where the foil backing has degraded to the point of air loss. Duct Sealing in Lake Stickney explains what’s involved.
