We want to put a washer and dryer in the basement and have a few questions….

Where/how do we vent a gas dryer? There are coal shoots in the front and back. Can we just run a duct out either of them? Although we are hoping to place the dryer quite a few feet away from either of the shoots. We are also concerned about things getting in…insects, rodents, water, etc.

And can we just split a sewer pipe and drain the washer right into it?

Looking for a DIY solution. Thanks.
