Small houses, short runs and stacked laundry squeezed into spaces that were never meant for it.
Regular routes, no travel surcharge, and a firm price before anything starts.
Get a Free QuoteAnaconda's smelter-era housing is compact, and the laundry has usually been fitted into a kitchen corner, a back porch or a closet rather than a purpose-built room. Runs are shorter than in Butte, which sounds like good news and mostly is - but short runs come with their own failure, which is flexible foil transition hose crushed behind an appliance that was pushed back too far.
A crushed transition hose can cut airflow more than thirty feet of clean rigid duct ever would, and it is invisible until someone pulls the machine out. We pull it out every time, and if the transition is foil where it should be rigid metal we will say so.
| Job | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Standard short run, exterior wall | $110 - $150 |
| Stacked unit, restricted access | $140 - $180 |
| Transition hose replaced with rigid metal | +$35 - $60 |
| Added to a chimney sweep, same visit | $85 - $110 |
More on how we do this work on the Dryer Vent Cleaning page, or see everything we cover in Anaconda.
Stacked washer-dryer units are common here because floor space is scarce, and they create a specific problem: the vent connection is high on the back of the unit with very little depth behind it. Installers compress the transition hose into a tight S-bend to make the door close, and that bend never recovers.
Closet installations add a second issue. A dryer needs make-up air to work; sealed into a closet with a solid door and no louvre, it starves, runs longer and pushes more lint per load into the duct. If we find a closet install without adequate air, we will point it out, because no amount of vent cleaning compensates for an appliance that cannot breathe.
