All-Dry of the Carolinas, building scientists, and the US Department of Energy agree that a vented crawl space in all climates- warm and cold- is a bad idea. Allowing hot summer air into the space will cause it to cool in the cooler crawlspace. As the air cools, its relative humidity will rise, and moisture will deposit on all surfaces in the SC crawl space, allowing damaging mold to flourish and making the wood damp and perfect for termites.
In the winter, the cold air that enters will cool down pipes, furnaces, water heaters, heating ducts, and the floorboards above, creating a drain on utility bills and an uncomfortable surface to walk on above.
To be properly protected, it's important to seal the entire crawl space area. If the vents are sealed and a crawl space vapor barrier is installed-- but you still have your old, rotting, drafty crawl space door, then your space is not fully protected. And who wants a rotting, poorly-sealed crawl space door, anyways?
Be sure to install an airtight crawl space access door along with your vents, such as Basement Systems' EverLast Crawl Space Door. This all-plastic door will never rot, warp, or need paint.
It secures to the crawl space opening with four screwed knobs, with a layer of weather striping keeping it sealed off from outside air. It's the perfect compliment to your vent covers!

A sealed crawl space can become usable space for you! Once the crawl space is dry and has a thick, durable CleanSpace liner installed, you can begin to use the space for storage of personal items. Keep your crawl space entrance attractive and clean with the EverLast Crawl Space Access well.
Our EverLast Crawl Space Access Well is large enough for you you to use to crouch down and enter your crawl space. Its durability holds back soil, nicely adding to your yard's landscaping while providing the durability and strength you need for years of access.
All-Dry of the Carolinas addresses this problem by installing airtight crawlspace doors and crawl space vent covers. These, combined with the CleanSpace vapor barrier, will turn the crawlspace into part of the housing envelope and keep outside moisture from intruding.
