I have concrete block CYV. My dryer vent out on the back wall due to location of washer and dryer connections. Even though it mismatched with the dryer vent it's through the concrete wall. I guessing you're design has the dryer on inside wall which usually leaves nowhere to vent except straight up?? I can look at the design of houses and tell which have dryer venting through the roof by what's sticking up on the roof. IMO another problem is venting between studs in the wall up through the roof. The ducting used to fit in the wall studs are not 4" in diameter, there smaller and IMO along with gravity compounds the problem, which leads to that design to be cleaned out mimum annually?

When I was married, my wife always said I never listened to her, or something like that.

GG, are you saying new homes are to be inspected just before the end of the first year of ownership?
Thanks! |

You cannot see the screen and it will take a few months for the screen to become blocked. Many homes are need new roofs, along with the new roof, you will usually get a new dryer vent cap. These new vent caps many times have the screen rather than the swinging flap door.

Yes please listen to your wife!
We had the same problem, clothes were not completely dry. Had to run the cycle 2-3 times depending on the load. Husband checked the bottom vent....was not clogged. Decided the old dryer just couldn’t do the job anymore. New dryer installed, guess what, was not trying the clothes! Up on the roof, found the pipe was blocked. New dryer works find noe, perhaps the old one would have also worked fine...we’ll never know!

My daughter called me while she was staying at my other house. She said she smelled gas (mercaptan) and felt lightheaded when she went to get her clothes out of the gas dryer which is located in a small laundry room. She also told me she had to run the dryer twice to get her things fully dried. I asked her if she smelled gas when the machine had not been run for a while and she said no. My guess is the burner is partially clogged from contaminants in the natural gas supply and incomplete combustion is producing carbon monoxide as well as leaving some gas unburned. This issue in addition to clogged venting is another thing to monitor if one has a gas dryer.
