A
vented dirt crawl space under a home is a very bad idea. The earth has very
high humidity in the soil. This water vapor moves easily into the crawl
space and upwards into the house environment. A damp environment is very
unhealthy and destructive. Mold thrives and reproduces by producing airborne
spores by the millions, and some molds are toxic.
Insects and critters of all kinds love damp environments
and wet materials. Rot and decay occur in damp environments causing
structural damage.
The natural airflow in a house is from bottom to
top. This sucks the moist air and everything in it into the
living areas of the home.
Vented Dirt crawl spaces do not have to be wet or
flooded to be extremely unhealthy.
