    The moisture around the vent is what the dryer pushed out of the clothes, not rain.

    The brush and rods are right hand threaded. You CANNOT reverse the drill or they will disconnect!

    Someone ran the dryer vent up to the screened attic vent and is against building code. You need to get a roofer out there to install the proper vent termination.

    What kind of vent is that? Why would anyone cover it with rooftiles?

    Seriously? First of all, a screen over a dryer vent is against building code. Secondly, the air is not venting properly underneath roof tiles. That will cause back pressure in the dryer vent system that could possibly force lint into the dryer cabinet. NOT GOOD!! That is the craziest damn thing I have ever seen regarding a dryer vent.

    Give the camera person credit (your wife?) , She is on a slanted roof holding a camera, its ok that its slanted a little.

    Once a year? The screen will plug up with lint after one or two months.

    What you removed are low profile attic vents. They are not suitable for use as a dryer vent termination.

      This is why I love UA-cam! I would love to fix this properly, maybe you could send a video / picture of a correct termination . I would like to fix this properly, thanks

      Also, do not use any screws when attaching vent pipe together. Use only quality aluminum foil tape.
