Why does your dryer vent hose have water in it?

The air that comes out of your dryer carries a lot of moisture with it, and the dryer vent is supposed to carry that hot, humid air safely out of your home. Now, if there is water in the hose, there might be one of a couple of things going on.

1. If part of the vent goes through an area of a significantly cooler temperature, the water may be condensing out of the air before it leaves the vent. This can be a problem particularly with longer dryer vents.
2. If there is at least a partial blockage in the vent, the air might be stuck in the hose long enough to cool down so that the water condenses.

If the first one seems to be the issue, I would see if there were a way to shorten the length of the dryer vent duct.

If you suspect any kind of blockage, it's really important to take care of that, as it can be a fire hazard.
