My understanding is the vents are there to keep humidity down. Moisture come=
s out of the dirt & from the house above. Some houses have poly on the dirt &=
 some have insulated floors, both of which cut down on the moisture. Take a l=
ook at the floor structure. Is there any sign of mold? If not, I wouldn=E2=80=
=99t bother taking the covers off. If there is, I=E2=80=99d take care of the=
 mold, repair any damage, add poly & leave the vents open. It wouldn=E2=80=99=
t hurt to have a fee contractors take a look & make suggestions.=20

The question, do need to remove the covers?  If so which season?
Thanks,
