Check the gas regulations. A vent for a gas dryer not only takes the
moisture from the clothes but is also the vent (read chimney) for the gas
heaters -- this is the same as venting a heater into the attic. Regulations
require it to be vented OUTSIDE.

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
