Need a referral for dryer vent repair

You probably already realized it but just to be safe, those water traps are only suitable for electric dryers unless you can run it outside. Gas dryers exhaust CO & CO2 through the vent line.

Expect it to get humid.

I was assuming Eagle was talking about a duct for the heat/moisture from an electric. If its for the combustion of a gas dryer then forget my suggestions.

Thank you all for your comments. (It IS an electric dryer, and yes I was aware that gas can not be vented inside, but it was very important to mention). It appears I will be cutting my ceiling and replacing with steel venting. The inside venting (I've been told by people who has used them( they are very messy to clean, and the moisture added can cause mold and mildew. Now I need a good plastered to repair my ceiling.
