Foundation Vent Sealing

Foundation vents were meant to dry crawl spaces, but in humid weather they often do the opposite, bringing in warm moist air that condenses on cool surfaces. We seal vents with rigid foam and sealant or with finished covers, so the space can be controlled instead of left to the weather.

Questions

Common questions

Do I need vents for the house to breathe?

A sealed and conditioned crawl space is controlled with drying and monitoring instead of vents.

Will sealing vents trap moisture?

Not when the space is also sealed, drained and dried. That is the point of a system.

Can I still get in?

Yes. Access doors stay, and we make them sealed and easy to use.
