Venting Electric Dryer To Garage

Hi guys i quickly looked for a similar answer but didn t see it.

Venting electric dryer to garage.

Dryer vents exhaust a large amount of water vapor. Dryer exhaust is dirty and contains lots of ickiness. Most local building codes require that dryer venting even off an electric dryer go to the outside of the home. Writing report and need some quick input please.

There is also extensive mold on the plywood that is not readily visible in the picture. I just need clarification on if a dryer vent can terminate in a garage. I know it s supposed to terminate outside of the home is this considered outside. To make the dyer more efficient you can buy an inexpensive heat diverter and install it in the exhaust duct of electric dryers only not gas dryers you ll save about 50 worth of heat per load in the winter.

But it s far preferable to venting into a crawl space. Run it to the roof or an outside wall. Also i will mention the issue of compromising the firewall. No ducts between the garage and house living area are allowed because they create a route.

Mites molds human skin dander pulverized synthetic fibers and their off gases not the kind of stuff you. Venting into a garage is fine as long you re willing to put with lint coating your vehicles they re gonna get messy. Venting your clothes dryer directly into the garage could be a building code violation and a bad idea. Venting the dryer outside in cold weather wastes a lot of heat.

All dryer vents are subject to very specific building codes that can adversely affect a home inspection when you re ready to sell. The photo above shows the area above a dryer vent terminating into that same bucket in the garage. Venting a dryer into a garage or other enclosed space will more than likely show up on an inspection report as an item required for repair before a home can be sold. Attach the dryer venting tube to the back of the electric clothes dryer using one of the clamps.

Putting this condensation into your garage could create rust on unpainted surfaces and worse mold inside the walls and ceiling. The dryer vent terminates in a garage. Clothes dryer venting should be to the outside.
