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.

I had a similar problem with my dryer vent passing through the attic. I
insulated the duct with duct wrap and it has been fine since. You might
want to make sure that your vent pipe is clean. Too much lint will absorb
moisture and restrict air flow.
