how can i find my outside vent. i have looke all over, could it be on roof?? my house is old built in 1970.





Doubt it is on the roof but could be Usually on the wall outside the
dryer, under a soffit. Can you follow the vent inside?

1970 is not old. My last house was 1948 and not really old. My son's
house was built in 1750 as were many in his area in that era.


My drier vent goes up and through the roof. circa 1997.

Would a smoke pencil help locate where it vents out?


The HVAC supply houses like Johnstone sell various smoke producing items. I imagine that a smoke bomb in the dryer, while it's running, would help locate the outlet. When I was working and me and the guys were going to use a smoke bomb, we called the fire department to let them know the address where we were working. ^_^
