My builder vented my dryer (gas) into my garage. I suppose this was
within code but this seems like a really bad idea. My garage is always
too hot and humid despite my efforts to open the garage doors and/or
windows while the dryer is running. Also, the lint is the pain in the
___ - making the garage constantly dusty. I'd like to re-rout the vent
outside. Any suggestions on an easy way to do this? The current vent
location is such that I would need to go around a door before directing
the vent to the back of the house. Due to the thickness of dryer vent
pipe, it seems that I wouldn't want to run this within the walls,
right? I guess I would have to run the vent exposed in the garage?


Check on the limit of exhaust length--it'll be in the owners' manual. I
think something less than 10-ft is about all that is supposed to be
used, if I recall.

How/where depends mostly on the location of the dryer wrt to outside
wall(s) and construction details not provided...
