Crawl space vents have proven time and time again that they just do not work.
Originally intended to use outside air to dry crawl spaces. It has now been proven that crawl space vent covers do more harm than good. Vent covers pull in the air outside humid, damp, and freezing cold air.
As an important part of our crawl space repair system, we highly recommend that you seal off your crawl space vents.
This keeps outside air outside your home, along with all the unwanted moisture, pests, winter cold, and summer heat it brings with it.
Our CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vent Covers install quickly and attaching mechanically to form an airtight bond.
When we send our crew, one worker can install the vent covers while the others install the rest of your crawl space system. A typical installation takes less than one day.

And when you have ground-level openings, they are an invitation for pests and rodents to enter your home. Termites, carpenter ants, wood-eating beetles, and crickets are especially attracted to moldy, rotting wood, and your vents serve as an open invitation for them.
Termites can live undetected for years in a home, damaging the wood and eventually causing serious structural problems.
Additionally, open crawl space vents allow frigid winter air into your home. If you have any utilities in your crawl space, including your furnace, water heater, hot water pipes, or air ducts, you can be sure that they're working harder and costing you more to keep up with the cold. A portion of that air will move upwards into your home, making for a cold, drafty first floor.
What kind of air are your vents using to dry your crawl space? If it's rainy or damp outside, then the vents are using damp air. If it's humid outside, then the humidity will be pulled into the crawl space, where the cooler air will cause it to condensate. The better answer for crawl space repair is a vapor barrier system.
