Tumble dryer vent opening into a concrete sectional, is it ok?

Hi the best way is to insulate the place and the exhaust to be outside so the garage can brith fresh air

Yes, it’s a problem. When your tumble dryer runs, it pushes out warm, moist air. If that moist air is released into the garage, especially a concrete sectional one that’s not fully sealed or ventilated, then: Humidity will build up Cold surfaces (like concrete) will condense the moisture That can lead to damp patches, mould, and even damage to stored items 🔧 How can I fix it? ✅ Best Option: Reroute the Vent to Outside Drill a new vent hole in the garage wall and run the duct straight outdoors, not into the garage Use a proper vent kit with a flap to stop cold air or pests coming in This will totally remove the moisture issue 🧰 If rerouting isn’t possible right now: You can temporarily improve the situation — but it’s not ideal: Add a dehumidifier in the garage (expensive long term) Keep the garage well ventilated (open vents, windows, or install passive vents) Insulating the garage won’t solve the issue on its own — in fact, insulation might trap moisture more unless it's combined with proper ventilation 🧱 Will insulating the garage help? Only a little — and only if done right. Insulation (walls and ceiling) keeps the garage warmer, so less condensation forms on cold surfaces But moist air will still be there unless it’s vented out You’d also need a vapour barrier to stop moisture soaking into insulation ✅ Final Advice: Option Result Recommended? Venting into garage Damp, mould, long-term damage risk ❌ No Rerouting vent outdoors Removes moisture at source ✅ Yes Just insulating the garage Slight help, but won’t fix moisture ⚠️ Not alone Adding ventilation & dehumidifier Temporary relief 🟡 Temporary
