Was it done right?
I just bought an old house and I am running new 10-3 grounded cable to update for a 4 prong dryer receptacle. The old 10-2 wire was fed out of the main panel to the crawl space through the conduit for the 150 amp service wire, looks to me that it and an AC line were added after the original house wiring. Does this meet code and/or is it smart? There is an empty knockout on the bottom of my Square D box and I removed several circuits that were added along the way so the service is not overloaded. Any advise is appreciated.

Either way, just bring the new cable for the dryer in through a separate entrance with its own clamp.

The conduit I was talking about is an open ended sleeve from the bottom of the Square D panel box to just below the subfloor, a total of 48", and runs through a 2 x 4 interior wall.
