Good point. I will look into it.

The day she was doing the laundry and I noticed the condensation, it was a
very very cold day, which makes me think that I need to check the outside
vent to see if any cold air could be getting in.

I am also thinking about purchasing a dryer vent cleaning kit to make sure
that there is no major buildup of lint so that the dryer is able to properly
vent.

Sounds like the vent pipe may be to long. Check with the dryer
manufacturer as to the maximum length and bends allowable for the machine.
You have hot,moist air flowing through it, and the longer it is, the more
opportunity it has to cool and condense

I noticed the other day that when my wife was doing a considerable amount
of drying, that there was condensation in the dryer vent piping.

The piping comes from the upper floor, down through the main level into
the basement and then goes to an exterior wall and exits our home.

I noticed dripping from the vent piping at the 90 degree turn in the
basement where it comes from the upper levels.

Is this normal? Don't know that I have ever noticed this before, mainly
because it is not something have ever looked for.
