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?

Any help is appreciated.

Really does not matter gas or electric for the vent.
New house? Call the inspectors where it was built and or check other homes
to see where they vent. If yours is different then call the builder and have
it corrected.

Putting 90 elbows in dryer runs is a REALLY BAD idea. Unless you plan on
putting in a booster fan.

Consider going straight up through the roof. At least 5 inch pipe. My last
home was that way

The poster who suggested check the dryer specs had a great idea.
