Default DRYER VENT HOUSE IS FILLING WITH WATER.

I found the dryer vent tubing filled with water, causing it to sag. I removed
the water from the line and it operated fine. I checked a month later and the
line had refilled with water which I drained again. The dryer vent line is @
15 feet from dryer to outside exhaust. The vent line runs along the outer wall
of the house. Could this be causing the water condensing issue????

First of all NEVER use flexible "ducting" for a dryer!!!!. Second,
run the vertical high enough that the horizontal run actually runs
downhill. That way no condensation can ever build up in the ductwork.
