The allowance is implicit as opposed to explicit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though the IRC is adopted by most states, there is a chance that your particular state has its own rules and regulations that pertain to matters such as these. It is, therefore, important that you are aware of exactly what standards apply to your location, as failure to comply with them can result in hefty fines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the IRC Says About the Position of Dryer Vents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you take a closer look at the IRC, you will find a bit of guidance on where you should position the dryer vent and lay the ductwork so that it is in compliance with the necessary standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/codes.iccsafe.org\/content\/IRC2021P1\/chapter-15-exhaust-systems#IRC2021P1_Pt05_Ch15_SecM1502.2\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/codes.iccsafe.org\/content\/IRC2021P1\/chapter-15-exhaust-systems#IRC2021P1_Pt05_Ch15_SecM1502.2\" target=\"_blank\">Section M1502.2<\/a>, the exhaust system of your dryer needs to be <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/can-bathroom-fan-and-dryer-share-a-vent\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2350\">separate from all other venting systems<\/a>. This does not mean that your bathroom fan and dryer cannot both run through the attic and out the roof. It means that they cannot do so while sharing the same ductwork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/codes.iccsafe.org\/content\/IRC2021P1\/chapter-15-exhaust-systems#IRC2021P1_Pt05_Ch15_SecM1502.2\" target=\"_blank\">Section M1502.3<\/a> explicitly states that any exhaust ducts <strong>have <\/strong>to be expelled on the outside of the building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The regulations also state that one has to follow the manufacturer&rsquo;s specifications when it comes to the installation of the ventilation. This is a safe bet on the part of the building code regulators as dryer manufacturers will specify venting to the outdoors in order to make their product safe to sell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manufacturers also have the final say over where outside the duct must terminate. But if there are no specified instructions, then you would have to terminate the duct at least 3 feet from any windows, doors, or other openings of the building as per the IRC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Venting a Dryer Through the Attic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only is venting a dryer through the attic allowed but it can also be a really good idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Be the Straightest and Shortest Route<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to venting your dryer through the attic, it can make your life a lot easier.

This basically means that the air that is trying to be expelled from your home, gets pushed back in, which really defeats the purpose of the entire system. This happens because the roof is exposed to wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Backdrafts mean that your dryer will be working extra hard to complete a load since the venting has become inefficient. If you have a gas dryer, there is also the risk of <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/gas-dryer-pros-cons\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"12143\">carbon monoxide traveling<\/a> back into your home, which can have serious consequences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, as long as you follow the IRC (which you should do when making any alterations or renovations inside your home), then you should be equipped with a backdraft damper, which is a requirement according to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/codes.iccsafe.org\/content\/IRC2021P2\/chapter-15-exhaust-systems#IRC2021P2_Pt05_Ch15_SecM1502.4.6\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/codes.iccsafe.org\/content\/IRC2021P2\/chapter-15-exhaust-systems#IRC2021P2_Pt05_Ch15_SecM1502.4.6\" target=\"_blank\">Section M1502<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Holes in the Roof Means More Chance of Leaks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Making a hole in your roof to accommodate the exhaust vent, means there will be more chance of experiencing leaks in your attic, which can often go unnoticed if you do not enter your attic more than once a year when you put away your holiday decorations. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/damaged-roof-can-cause-more-change-of-leaks.jpg\" alt=\"a damaged roof can cause more chance of leaks\" class=\"wp-image-14838\" width=\"599\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/damaged-roof-can-cause-more-change-of-leaks.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/damaged-roof-can-cause-more-change-of-leaks-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/damaged-roof-can-cause-more-change-of-leaks-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/damaged-roof-can-cause-more-change-of-leaks-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/damaged-roof-can-cause-more-change-of-leaks-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/damaged-roof-can-cause-more-change-of-leaks-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/damaged-roof-can-cause-more-change-of-leaks-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/damaged-roof-can-cause-more-change-of-leaks-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/damaged-roof-can-cause-more-change-of-leaks-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/damaged-roof-can-cause-more-change-of-leaks.jpg.webp\" alt=\"a damaged roof can cause more chance of leaks\" class=\"wp-image-14838 lazyload\" width=\"599\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/damaged-roof-can-cause-more-change-of-leaks.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/damaged-roof-can-cause-more-change-of-leaks-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/damaged-roof-can-cause-more-change-of-leaks-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/damaged-roof-can-cause-more-change-of-leaks-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/damaged-roof-can-cause-more-change-of-leaks-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/damaged-roof-can-cause-more-change-of-leaks-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/damaged-roof-can-cause-more-change-of-leaks-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/damaged-roof-can-cause-more-change-of-leaks-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/damaged-roof-can-cause-more-change-of-leaks-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/damaged-roof-can-cause-more-change-of-leaks.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-5\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Therefore, it is extremely important that you do everything necessary while you are installing the vent to prevent leaks in the future. For instance, installing a pipe flashing around the vent creates a weather-tight seal that ensures no water can leak through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, with the changing temperature, your roof tends to move, and therefore, so will your vent. So ensure your flashing is sufficiently installed and secured with a clamp to limit it from creating gaps that can allow rain and other precipitation to fall through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Easily Blocked by Snow and Leaf Build-Up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When there is a hole in your roof, it basically screams &ldquo;clog me&rdquo;. Whether it is snow, leaves, or the neighbor&rsquo;s kid&rsquo;s oddly accurate tennis balls, having the vent directly at the top of your home means it can become easily blocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means you will have to make regular visits to your roof and drag your ladder back and forth to unclog it so that your dryer can be vented properly. A clogged vent means you are at risk of not only lint build-up, which can cause fires, but also a moisture problem as the air cannot be expelled as necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, as I have mentioned before, blocked dryer ducts make the dryer work harder. This shortens its lifespan and creates excess heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/dryer-vent-touch-insulation\/\">Dryer Vent | Can It Touch Insulation?<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Venting Into the Attic is Prohibited<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as you only vent <strong>through<\/strong> the attic, directly to the outdoors you are in the clear.
