Why the Vent Matters

Dryer exhaust must go outdoors, never into an attic, crawlspace or other building cavity; ventless dryers with a condensate drain are the exception. Source: U.S. DOE Building America Solution Center (PNNL) - Proper Clothes Dryer Venting
Under the model residential code approach, a 4-inch dryer exhaust duct is limited to 35 feet of equivalent length, minus 2.5 feet for each 45-degree bend and 5 feet for each 90-degree bend, unless the dryer manufacturer's installation instructions set a different maximum.

Dryer Notes for Griffith, IN
Most dryer calls in Griffith come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
Indiana licenses plumbers statewide through the Indiana Plumbing Commission but has no statewide HVAC technician license, so heating and mechanical contractor licensing, including gas appliance work, is set by individual counties and cities.

In Indiana, you can check a license with the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency License Verification or report a problem to the Indiana Attorney General Consumer Protection Division.
