In Savannah, or in any other part of this country, where summers are hot and humid and winters are cold and damp, a vented, dirt crawl space is the source of so many problems, that industry specialists call it a house epidemic.
Although many home inspectors and many contractors will still vow for the old "line the ground with a vapor barrier and leave the vents wide open" approach, it's been proven disastrous all around the country.
This presentation about crawl space moisture will show that opening the vents will actually make matters worse. It is like having a monster living under your house, eating it from the bottom up, running your finances and maybe even your family's health.
If you are buying a house over a crawl space, this is an eye opener. If you are selling it, consider fixing the problem before you list it. And if you are a Real Estate agent, consider this information when advising your clients.
