How can I properly install crawl space vents to improve ventilation in my home?
To properly install crawl space vents for improved ventilation in your home, follow these steps: Determine the appropriate number and size of vents needed based on the size of your crawl space. Place vents evenly around the perimeter of the crawl space to ensure proper air circulation. Install vents at ground level to prevent moisture buildup and promote airflow. Use a vapor barrier to cover the ground in the crawl space to further prevent moisture issues. Regularly inspect and maintain the vents to ensure they are functioning properly.

Should a crawl space have plactic sheeting on the ground?
Absolutely. Moisture from the ground (or even concrete floor as water seeps through) will rise up and saturate the crawl space area with moisture. Anything organic in the space- including wooden beams and insulation- runs the risk of growing mold and rot, eventually affecting the structural integrity of the home and overall healthiness. Additionally, termites can enter and devour the moist wood, and mold spores will rise into your home. (This is much more common than many people think- warm air exits out of the upper levels and cool air is sucked up through the crawl space). Unsealed crawl spaces will also bring humidity into the house and be a perfect place for rodents to live and die in. Definitely put something down. And if you have a vented crawl space, you should look into sealing those vents if local housing codes allow for it.
