This is to allow for this excess heat and moisture to be expelled outdoors, where it doesn&rsquo;t cause any issues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are cases where this is not possible. Perhaps you are renting and can&rsquo;t make structural changes to your home, or perhaps the only space you can put your dryer in is in a <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/how-vent-dryer-middle-house\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"13166\">room in the middle of the house<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is when many people start to consider something like an indoor dryer vent kit or a <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/do-dryer-condenser-boxes-work\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"13052\">condenser box<\/a>. But these kinds of systems are not actually providing the required ventilation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Indoor Dryer Vent Kits Only Catch Lint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Indoor dryer vent kits are actually only <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/how-indoor-dryer-vent-kits-work\/\">designed to catch the lint expelled from the dryer<\/a> through either a water reservoir or a mesh filter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indoor dryer vent kits that use a water reservoir need to be emptied frequently. If left too long, the water will evaporate as a result of the exposure to hot dryer air, and it will no longer effectively trap the lint. Furthermore, any lint that has already been collected, can be blown into the room when it is no longer weighed down by the water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dryer kits that use a mesh filter also need to be cleaned or even replaced regularly. The mesh can become clogged with lint (that&rsquo;s the whole point of it). But when it is too full, then the air blowing against it can just dislodge the outer layer of lint and set them free inside the room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, heat will build up behind the filter and there is a risk of the clogged filter igniting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These kits do not do anything to remove the moist, hot air from your laundry room as they are blowing straight into the space and not outside it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-central-palette-1-background-color has-background\"><strong>Please note that the manufacturers of these kits warn against their use with gas dryers. <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/indoor-dryer-vent-kit-used-with-gas-dryer\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/indoor-dryer-vent-kit-used-with-gas-dryer\/\">Gas dryers cannot use an indoor dryer vent<\/a>, as it would lead to the release of carbon monoxide and ultimately carbon monoxide poisoning.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"936\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0030_CO2-Poisoning-1.jpg\" alt=\"illustration of Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning\" class=\"wp-image-15352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0030_CO2-Poisoning-1.jpg 936w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0030_CO2-Poisoning-1-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0030_CO2-Poisoning-1-768x585.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0030_CO2-Poisoning-1-735x560.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0030_CO2-Poisoning-1-335x255.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0030_CO2-Poisoning-1-347x264.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0030_CO2-Poisoning-1-520x396.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0030_CO2-Poisoning-1-640x488.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"936\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0030_CO2-Poisoning-1.jpg.webp\" alt=\"illustration of Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning\" class=\"wp-image-15352 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0030_CO2-Poisoning-1.jpg.webp 936w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0030_CO2-Poisoning-1-300x229.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0030_CO2-Poisoning-1-768x585.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0030_CO2-Poisoning-1-735x560.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0030_CO2-Poisoning-1-335x255.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0030_CO2-Poisoning-1-347x264.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0030_CO2-Poisoning-1-520x396.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0030_CO2-Poisoning-1-640x488.jpg.webp 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0030_CO2-Poisoning-1.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While lint collection may be useful and <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/indoor-dryer-vent-kits-do-they-actually-work\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"13495\">the indoor dryer vent kits can perform this function relatively well<\/a>,&nbsp;they do not stop the moisture and heat from getting into the room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Water from Dryer Is Released Into the Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dryers work by heating room temperature air using an electrical element (remember, we are not even going to consider indoor vent kits with gas dryers). This air is then used to dry your clothing while it is being tumbled inside the drum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the heated air is blown through the drum, it removes and collects water from the clothes. The combination of this heat with the water creates moist, hot air that needs to be exhausted outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it is exhausted into an indoor dryer vent, then the air escapes into the room without any of the water being removed. This leads to moisture being released into the room, which causes myriad issues that we will discuss in a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reservoir Models Add Water into the Air<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, some indoor dryer vent kits require a reservoir to be filled with water to catch the lint contained in the dryer exhaust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While blowing the air into a container filled with water helps to catch and remove lint, it also means that the water is exposed to hot air. What happens when water is exposed to hot air? It evaporates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I have already mentioned, this reduces the effectiveness of the indoor vent. But in addition to this, the evaporated water simply increases the level of humidity in the room and worsens all the problems linked to excess moisture indoors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moisture Problems Linked to Indoor Dryer Vent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The increase of humidity in your laundry room due to the indoor dryer vent kit can cause a range of different problems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Mold<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The accumulation of water on the surfaces in the room&nbsp;can create the perfect breeding ground for mold to grow. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3.jpg\" alt=\"mold dryer\" class=\"wp-image-14066\" width=\"-131\" height=\"-95\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3.jpg.webp\" alt=\"mold dryer\" class=\"wp-image-14066 lazyload\" width=\"-131\" height=\"-95\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" loading=\"lazy\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Mold is unsightly and can be a serious health risk and can cause a range of different allergies in children and adults alike. Additionally, it can also affect the structural integrity of the surfaces on which it grow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Home Structure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Humidity and moisture can also dampen building materials like wood and drywall. This can lead to rot and the breakdown in the structure of your home, which can become very unsafe very quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;3. Electrics Don&rsquo;t Like Moisture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Would you ever consider installing a television in your bathroom? What about a nice electric heater? It&rsquo;s not likely, is it? This is because we all know that moisture, such as the steam produced by hot showers, is really bad for electrical equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you vent your dryer using an indoor vent kit, then your laundry room and the rooms adjoining it can become just as steamy as a bathroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is damaging to your electronic devices and a potential shock and fire hazard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Increases the Drying Time of Your Clothes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is too much moisture in the room, that means the dryer has to work twice as hard as it should to make the clothes dry, which is the very opposite of what you needed the dryer for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because the air being pulled into the dryer to dry the clothes will be increasingly humid and capable of removing less water from the clothing before being saturated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Air Pollutants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By venting your dryer into your home, you are increasing the risk of dangerous chemicals coming from the cleaning detergents being released into the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Increased AC Bills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the secondary attractions of these in the dryer vents is supposedly the money you save on heating your house. But if you just take one moment to consider the matter, you will realize that all the money you save in winter, and possibly more, will be lost in summer when you have to cool down a house that is constantly having hot air pumped into it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The alternative is to not use your dryer in the summer. What is the point of a convenience machine that can only be used under certain conditions? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Indoor Dryer Vent Kits Are Against Code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The IRC is applicable in most states but can sometimes be adjusted within the local area building codes. Therefore, it is vital you check your local building codes before installing your dryer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, according to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/codes.iccsafe.org\/content\/IRC2021P1\/chapter-15-exhaust-systems#IRC2021P1_Pt05_Ch15_SecM1502.3\" target=\"_blank\">Section M1502.3<\/a> of the IRC:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em> &ldquo;Exhaust ducts shall terminate on the outside of the building.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that the use of an indoor dryer vent is prohibited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not only due to the possible health risks associated with humidity but also the structural integrity of your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Issues Arising From Code Violations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Violating building codes is not only against regulations but also endangers the health and safety of current and future homeowners. Below are a few issues that can arise from code violations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Fines<\/strong> &ndash; Contravening the building codes can lead to fines of up to $750 in some states!<\/li><li><strong>Forced duct installation<\/strong> &ndash; If the home inspector were to find your appliance installed incorrectly (and causing the possible endangerment of your family or neighbors), they could have you reinstall the dryer with an outdoor vent system.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Insurance troubles<\/strong> &ndash; If your house violates the building codes, then your homeowners&rsquo; insurance is compromised. Most insurance policies are dependent on the house being up to code. If your house were to have water damage or mold due to the moisture and humidity from your dryer, the insurance would most likely not pay for any repairs or replacements.
