Default Dryer Vent
Should I recommend that the flexible duct on this dryer vent be replaced or shortened with a smooth lined pipe. It runs up though the roof.

Yes, smooth pipe is the best to help prevent problems in the future.

Yes, smooth will prevent problems in the future. Wat to much hose for function.
