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 Bothell Homes Are Different
Bothell sits at the north end of Lake Washington where King and Snohomish counties meet, and the housing stock reflects that split. You’ll find 1970s split-levels off Bothell-Everett Highway, 1990s two-stories in the Canyon Park area, and newer builds climbing the hills around Maywood and Queensborough. Many homes here run forced-air gas heat through ducts that have never been more than superficially cleaned since the day they were installed. The damp, mild Northwest climate means dust sticks to duct walls instead of drying out, and when the heat kicks on each fall, whatever accumulated over summer gets pushed through every register.
Terrain matters too. Bothell’s hills and valleys put real load on HVAC systems, especially in older homes where duct runs are long and bent. We regularly see homes in the Finn Hill and Norway Hill areas where return ducts pull air through crawlspaces that stay damp nine months a year. That moisture mixes with dust and pet hair, and the result is a coating on blower fans and coils that cuts airflow and shortens equipment life. This isn’t a problem unique to Bothell, but it shows up here faster than in drier parts of the region.
Our Main Bothell Services
Most Bothell homeowners call us first for one of three jobs: clearing a dryer vent that’s become restricted, deep-cleaning the ducts themselves, or cleaning the full HVAC path from return to supply. Each service has its own dedicated Bothell page with pricing and specifics.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bothell
Bothell’s older homes often route dryer vents through crawlspaces or up through the roof, which means longer runs and more bends than a typical wall-vent setup. Lint that gets trapped in those curves is a fire risk and a drying-time killer. Our crews run professional rotary brushes through the full vent line, then confirm airflow at the exterior exhaust point. Lint-clogged vents also keep humid air inside the laundry room, which is no small thing during Bothell’s rainy months. Full details and pricing live on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bothell page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Bothell
Whole-home Air Duct Cleaning in Bothell means hitting every supply and return line, often across two floors in this city’s split-level and daylight-rambler homes. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems to agitate debris off duct walls, paired with Nikro HEPA vacuums running negative-pressure extraction. That means loosened dust and debris is pulled straight into the vacuum, not blown back through your living room. Bothell homes with pets, recent remodels, or smokers generally need this more than once a decade.
HVAC Cleaning in Bothell
HVAC cleaning goes beyond the ducts to the blower fan, evaporator coil, and housing, which is where the real airflow loss happens in Bothell’s damp climate. See the full scope and pricing on our HVAC Cleaning in Bothell page. Homeowners in the Norway Hill and North Creek corridors tell us their systems run quieter and cycle less after we pull an inch of wet, packed dust off the blower wheel. It’s not unusual to find coil surfaces half-blocked in homes that have gone five-plus years without service.
