DIYbanter - View Single Post - Dryer vent runs up into attic but not outside...

wrote:
Recently I added a room to my house requiring that the gas dryer vent be
rerouted. The contractor routed it up into the attic. He was going to
run
it through the attic then outside the house but never finished it. He
said
it would be fine just up into the attic without being vented outside.

Are there any problems just leaving it venting inside the attic?

Thanks

Yea, it will be just fine and he will be back and be glad to have you
pay him to replace all the damage it does. All those vents in your roof are
there to remove warm moist air, and now you are pumping warm moist air into
the attic every time you run the dryer.

He is either a liar or totally incompetent.
