| A rep at the Natl Home Builders in DC told me to leave the vents closed At all times, you don't keep the windowed in a basement open very often. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: and was told at that time to leave the vents OPEN all year to avoid a moisture build-up. Seems like there are various views on the issue. "For areas like ours where the humidity levels are so high, vented crawl spaces are a recipe for disaster." Here is the full article. From another site: Many of the crawlspaces I've inspected have elevated humidity problems. To control the humidity, you open the crawl vents in the winter to allow the warm moist air to flow naturally to the cooler dryer outside environment. In the summer, you close the vents to keep the warm moist air outside and away from the much cooler dryer air in the crawlspace. |
