Question of the Week:

Bill in Virginia writes,

"I've heard you discuss on podcasts, the subject of damp crawlspaces. On my most recent annual pest inspection, a higher than normal moisture level was indicated under my home, and I have been provided 2 options by crawl space contractors. 1) Replace my foundation vents with self-opening ones and add fans in the crawl space, and 2) Seal up the vents and install a dehumidifier in the crawl space. I appreciate any lessons learned/advise you might be able to provide for my decision."
