Your dryer vents out the top of your roof?!? Normally it just punches out the side of the house.

This chimney probably used to be for your furnace and hot water heater. But then they got replaced and are more efficient so they can just vent out the side of the house instead of having to go up and out the roof.

It's possible that this chimney isn't needed any more.

I just noticed that this is a repeated thread. This other one has more replies so we should just let this one die.

Here's the other thread:
