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 Felida
Dryer vent cleaning in Felida, WA typically costs $149 – $289 for a single-system cleaning, and the job takes about 45 – 90 minutes. That price covers the full vent run, from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, not just the first few feet. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family (founded 2005), and our crews serve Felida neighborhoods from Salmon Creek to the Felida Moorage every week. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote before any work starts.
Felida homes throw us a specific challenge: long upstairs dryer vent runs with multiple bends. We know exactly where lint hides in these houses, and we bring camera inspection equipment to prove what’s actually inside your vent before and after we clean it.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Felida’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Felida homeowners call us because we give them proof, not promises. Every Dryer Vent Cleaning booking includes a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photos of your own vent run, and a written price handed to you before a single tool comes off the truck. That’s the Relay Standard, and it’s how the independently owned Cardinal locations operate everywhere they serve.
Our techs working Felida know the local housing stock. They know that homes off NW 36th Avenue and along NW 119th Street often have second-floor laundry rooms with vent runs that stretch 15 – 25 feet and make two 90-degree turns before they reach the outside wall. That’s not a generic vent. That’s a Felida vent, and it traps lint differently than the short straight runs in older Vancouver bungalows. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians run Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums, not a shop vac with a hose taped to it.
Omar Haddad leads our team with a simple standard: if the work isn’t right within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it covers every job in Felida without exception.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Felida
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Felida is a different job than residential work, and it typically runs $300 – $600 depending on the number of dryers and the length of the runs. Multi-dryer setups at Felida laundromats, salons, gyms, and apartment complexes along the NW 119th corridor need more frequent attention because the volume of lint moving through shared runs is far higher than any single-family home.
Our techs use Abatement Technologies containment units on commercial jobs to keep loosened lint out of occupied spaces, and camera inspections confirm the run is clear end to end. These cleanings take longer and require more horsepower, but the flat per-system price is still written before we start.
Multi-Dryer Runs and Shared Vent Stacks
Some Felida commercial buildings stack two or three dryer vents into a single roof or wall termination. That’s a recipe for backdrafts and uneven airflow. We isolate each run and clean it independently so no dryer is pushing against a clogged neighbor.
Documentation for Property Managers
We photograph every step and provide a digital report so Felida property managers have a record of what was done and when it’s next due. That matters for insurance, tenant complaints, and fire code compliance.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Felida
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Felida homes typically runs $149 – $289 for a standard single-system job. That includes disconnecting the dryer, cleaning the entire run, checking the termination flap, and a final airflow test. If you live north of NW 99th Street or west of Lakeshore Avenue, you’re firmly in our regular Felida service area and we can usually get a crew to you within a couple of business days, not weeks.
We never quote per vent or charge extra once we’re on site. The written price covers the whole system. Before any cleaning, we scope the run with a camera. After cleaning, you get photos of the same run showing it’s clear. No other dryer vent company serving Felida puts that standard in writing every single time.
Upstairs Laundry Runs
Felida’s newer two-story homes almost always put the laundry upstairs against an exterior wall. The vent run often stretches 15 – 25 feet with two elbows. Lint collects at every bend, and by the time you notice slower dry times, the blockage is already well past what a trap cleaning can reach.
Termination Flap and Bird Guard Work
We replace rusted or jammed termination flaps, install bird guards to keep nesting debris out, and clear fir and pine pollen that Felida’s spring season packs into exterior vents. If the flap doesn’t open fully, lint backs up into the run no matter how clean the pipe is.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Felida Homes
- Long second-floor runs with blocked mid-pipe sections. Two-story Felida homes often have vent runs that make two 90-degree turns. Lint builds at the second elbow, and the homeowner only sees the clean trap up front, so the real problem stays hidden.
- Flexible foil transition duct sagging behind the dryer. Production-built Felida homes frequently use foil or vinyl transition duct. It kinks at the first turn, catches lint, and restricts airflow. We can replace it with rigid duct that actually moves air.
- Pollen-clogged termination flaps. Felida’s fir and pine pollen season combines with nesting debris to seize exterior flaps shut. A stuck flap backdrafts lint into the run and the laundry room instead of out of the house.
- Bird and rodent nesting in exterior vents. Warm dryer exhaust attracts nesting. We install Guardsman bird guards after cleaning to keep the vent clear long after we leave.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Felida, WA
A standard residential dryer vent cleaning in Felida runs $149 – $289 for the full run. Commercial jobs with multiple dryers start around $300 and go up based on run count and access. What changes the price: run length, number of elbows, roof vs. wall termination, and whether we’re replacing a flap or installing a bird guard. The price is written and flat before we start. If we quote $229, you pay $229, even if the job takes longer than expected. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll walk you through the quote over the phone.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Felida
Every 12 to 18 months for most Felida homes. If your laundry room is upstairs and the vent run makes two elbows, lean closer to 12 months. Longer runs with multiple bends collect lint faster than the short straight runs in older single-story homes. Call (737) 727-2314 if it’s been more than a year.
The lint trap catches about 25 percent of what your dryer produces. The rest travels into the vent run and settles at every bend, especially in Felida’s longer upstairs runs. A camera inspection is the only way to see how much is actually sitting in the pipe beyond the trap. We include that inspection with every cleaning.
Yes. Every Felida job starts with a camera inspection of the full run. You’ll see what we see, including any blockage, sagging transition duct, or damaged termination. After cleaning, we photograph the same run so you have before-and-after proof.
Per system. One flat price covers the entire dryer vent run from connection to termination, no per-vent pricing and no added charges once we’re on site. The written quote you receive before work starts is the price you pay. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact number on your system.
