Should I close my crawl space vents?

What goes into sealing vents and replacing a door
The work closes the two kinds of opening in your foundation wall. Here is what each one involves, and what has to come first.
Each foundation vent blocked and sealed
Open vents let muggy summer air under the house, where it settles on cooler wood, ducts, and soil. Sealing each vent keeps that air out.
An insulated access door
A rotted or loose door is replaced with an insulated access door. If the opening needs reframing, the job takes longer, and the written price shows it.
Sealed vents work best with a liner
Closing vents alone doesn't make a sealed crawl space. The floor needs a liner and the air needs drying, which is what encapsulation covers.
Humidity in wall-vented crawl spaces
In a field study of 12 matched houses, crawl spaces vented through the walls ran above 80% relative humidity for most of spring and summer. Closed crawl spaces stayed below 65%.
Not a fix for water or rot
A wet or rotted crawl space gets standing water removal or wood rot repair first.
