There are a couple ways to vent a dryer, my personal favorite is the dryer vent vacuum. They also have dryer vent hoods, and kits available for installation that will increase the effectiveness of your dryer.
Commercial or residential and what manufacturer
I don't know about Illinois but check the Fuel Gas Code. I have never heard of PVC being allowed for a Clothes Dryer Vent.
Water Jetting
The A/C extracts water from the air.
The water is converted to water vapor and is carried out through the dryer vent by the air that flows through the machine.

First, be sure to unplug your dryer, extend your dryer out, not too far though..just the length of your vent, unscrew your vent from the back of the dryer, then slowly slide the vent off. It's recommended at this point that you get some kind of vacuum cleaner, and insert it into the dryer hole. Afterwards, use your vacuum inside the vent tube, reattach the vent tube to the vent, push the dryer back to its position, and go about your day.
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.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.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.

I did! I was mopping up a minor basement flood and put my hand down on the dryer's metal vent and got shocked. Now my dryer won't work.
