What if I stick the vent coming from the dryer in my crawl space?

I wonder if it's correct to put the hot air vent to the crawl space since the dryer is in the middle of the house and there is no other way to get the vent outside.

it's dangerous...the lint that comes off your clothes, the heat from the dryer=FIRE....you need to buy flex hose to take the vent to the outside......be careful and good luck

you could end up with a mold problem. you can buy flexible hose and run to side of foundation then vent to out side.

a spark can set off the lint.better to buy a wet lint trap from the hardware store,you fill it partically with water and put the hoxe on and when the dryer is on the lint will go into the water and not in the air,all you have to do is cclean it out once in a while and refill it with water to the line

No, it's not correct. There is another way to get it outside where it belongs, it just takes more exhaust pipe to get it there. There is ALWAYS a way to do it, no exceptions.
