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 Pacific
Dryer vent cleaning in Pacific, WA typically costs $129 – $249 for a standard residential run, and most jobs are completed in under two hours. We work throughout Pacific’s neighborhoods daily, from the mid-century homes along SR-99 to the newer developments east of West Valley Highway.

Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Pacific’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Pacific homeowners call us because we tell them the truth about their vents. Not the version that gets a truck to your driveway, but the version that fixes the problem. Our techs know the housing stock here: the 1950s and 1960s ramblers near Pacific City Park, the split-levels along Stewart Road, and the newer builds up toward the Muckleshoot boundary. Each has different vent run configurations, and each needs a different approach to do the job right.
Every booking through Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. That means if your dryer vent isn’t actually clean, or the problem comes back within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. No proration, no arguments. That promise is why Pacific residents who’ve been burned by bait-and-switch vent cleaning stick with us. We also operate as part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, which means every job includes The Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival time, before-and-after photos of your own ducts, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pacific
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pacific covers the multi-load demands of laundromats, apartment buildings, salons, gyms, and care facilities. These systems run longer cycles with higher lint volume than any residence, and a blocked commercial vent in a Pacific strip mall or apartment complex becomes a fire hazard and a code violation fast. A standard commercial dryer vent cleaning in Pacific runs $350 – $900 depending on run length, access points, and number of dryer connections. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems paired with Nikro HEPA negative-pressure extraction, so debris is pulled into a contained vacuum rather than blown into the building.
Multi-Unit and Property Management Runs
Apartment and condo buildings in Pacific often stack dryer vents into shared risers or long horizontal runs with multiple elbows. We inspect the full pathway with a camera before and after cleaning, documenting every foot of the run. Building owners receive before-and-after photos for every dryer connection serviced, which simplifies compliance records and keeps your tenants safe.
Laundromat and High-Cycle Facilities
Commercial machines generate enough lint to choke a vent in months, not years. For Pacific laundromats running six or more dryers daily, we recommend quarterly cleanings and will quote a flat per-system rate rather than a per-vent price. Written price before we start, every time, no exceptions.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Pacific
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Pacific means pulling your dryer out, disconnecting the vent, brushing the entire run from the appliance to the exterior cap, and vacuuming out every bit of lint and debris using negative-pressure extraction. In Pacific’s homes, that run often drops into a crawlspace or terminates low on a foundation wall, which changes how we work. A typical residential cleaning runs $129 – $249, and our techs bring camera equipment to inspect the full pathway before and after, so you see proof of the work in your own duct. The written price you receive when booking is the price you pay, period.
Full Pathway Camera Inspection
Most vent cleaners in Pacific don’t check the far end of the run, especially the sections buried in crawlspaces or behind wall cladding. We run a camera through your full dryer vent and show you what’s there before we clean, then again after. If there’s a crushed section or a corroded bird screen at the termination, you’ll know exactly what we found and what it costs to address.
Lint Removal and Pest Screen Check
Lint removal is more than brushing the first few feet from the wall. In Pacific’s low-exit vent runs, the worst buildup is often at the sagging elbow behind the footing or right at the exterior cap where moisture and debris accumulate. We reinstate or replace the pest screen as part of the job, because a clean duct with a clogged cap still won’t dry your clothes properly.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pacific
We clean and service dryer vents connected to every major dryer brand found in Pacific homes: Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, GE, Kenmore, Speed Queen, and Electrolux. If you need a vent cap replaced, a bird guard installed, or a run rerouted, we keep common fittings and termination components on the truck so most Pacific jobs are handled in one visit. Our equipment is professional grade, not a shop vac with a brush taped to the end. We run Rotobrush brush systems and Nikro HEPA extraction units, the same equipment we use on larger air duct cleaning work throughout the area.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Pacific Homes
- Low ground-level terminations packing with debris. Homes near the White River sit on low, damp lots, and exterior vent caps close to the ground collect grass clippings, leaves, and condensation. That restriction at the cap makes the whole run work harder and clog faster.
- Crawlspace runs that never get inspected. Many mid-century Pacific homes route dryer vents downward into the crawlspace before exiting low on the foundation. The worst lint buildup is often in that hidden section, not near the dryer, so a surface brushing leaves the real problem untouched.
- Corroded pest screens from river moisture. Damp conditions accelerate rust on vent terminations. A corroded or blocked screen restricts airflow and lets rodents nest right at the exterior opening, especially in the fall.
- Crushed or sagging sections behind the footing. In Pacific’s older housing stock, we regularly find flexible duct pulled too tight or weighed down by damp insulation, creating a low spot where lint collects until the vent stops moving air completely.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pacific, WA
A standard residential dryer vent cleaning in Pacific runs $129 – $249. That covers the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior cap, camera inspection before and after, lint removal, and a check of the termination and pest screen. If your vent run is in a crawlspace, terminates low on the foundation, or hasn’t been cleaned in years, the price may land at the higher end because the job takes longer and may require additional access work. Commercial jobs run $350 – $900. We don’t charge per vent and we don’t add a surprise crawlspace fee when we arrive. The written price you agree to when booking is the price on your invoice. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pacific
Most Pacific homes need a dryer vent cleaning every 12 to 24 months, depending on household size, how often you run the dryer, and how long the vent run is. Homes with crawlspace or low-exit runs near the White River often need it closer to the 12-month mark because damp conditions and longer pathways trap more lint. If your clothes are taking more than one full cycle to dry, that’s your signal to call (737) 727-2314.
We charge one flat price per system, not per vent. A standard residential dryer vent in Pacific runs $129 – $249 as a single price, agreed before we start work. You will never see a per-vent line item or a surprise crawlspace access fee added after our tech arrives. The written price you get when booking is the price you pay.
Yes, it changes everything. Low-exit and crawlspace vent runs in Pacific are exactly where the worst lint buildup hides, because debris settles in sagging low spots and moisture accelerates blockage at the exterior cap. We inspect the full run with a camera and clean it end to end, including the far side behind the footing, not just the first few feet from the dryer.
Yes, every single time. Before-and-after photos of your actual dryer vent are part of The Relay Standard, not an upsell. You’ll see the interior of the duct before we clean, then the same section after, so you know exactly what was removed and that the run is clear from the dryer to the termination. The photos are sent to your phone with your digital invoice.
Yes, we handle commercial dryer vent cleaning in Pacific for laundromats, apartments, gyms, and care facilities. Commercial jobs run $350 – $900 and typically involve longer runs, multiple dryer connections, or shared risers, so we use the same Rotobrush and Nikro equipment but spend more time on access and documentation. Building owners receive before-and-after photos for every dryer connection serviced. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule a commercial inspection.
