Is having the vent run straight up from the dryer a problem? I've
never seen that done before. Any "backpressure" issues from this?
My thoughts are that hot air rises, so would probably be a good
thing. True? Is this the normal way of doing it? Thanks for any
info you can provide.

It sounds like they did a good job. Rigid metal (not the accordion
stuff) is far better, more efficient and safer. Up is good, It is warm air
going up, it will actually travel easier up, like a chimney, although not
all that much.

Cleaning is a possible issue, but I suspect just pulling the dryer out.
You really wanted to clean under it and maybe remove the back and clean
inside anyway. That straight smooth bore run will be far easier to clean
than most situations are.

Thanks (to you and to everyone else) for the info. Sounds like one less
thing I need to worry about. Appreciate it!
