I have a persistent problem with water accumulating in my dryer exhaust/vent house. Every time we get some significant rain like last night I have to move the washer to get to the dryer, disconnect the vent hose and drain anywhere from 1/2 a gallon to a gallon of water in the hose.

Water comes in from the dryer roof vent during the rain storms. To me it is a fundamental design flaw to vent the dryer in this manner. My dryer vent faces south, so I may be more prone to this happening.

Has anyone else had this issue and if so how do you resolve it? Do you have a contractor vent the dryer through the side of the house?

Thanks for help.....
