Default Dryer receptacle worries

Your dryer outlet is fine. If for some reason water starts pouring onto it,
I would recommend turning off the water. Some vents have a lever in them
that will control the air flow. Sometimes the duct attaching to the vent (in
the attic) has a control lever on it. Some vents are returns, from which air
goes back into the system

Hi just bought new home 1 1/2 years now. I recently was considering new
dryer but now am concerned the 220 volt dryer receptacle is sitting 3/4
inches off the floor it is actually cut into the baseboard. Is this ok
or should I be contacting my builder. I am worried any flooding or
overflow from my washer would surely seep into the receptacle.

Is this a hazzard and is there any reference to code requirements for
height. My friends house has receptacle over 20 inches from the floor
this seems much more safer.

I also have no air flow coming out of one of my bedroom vents, is there
something that can turn this on or off!

Do I have a real problem or is this common.

Jeff
