Moisture comes 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 look at the floor structure. Is there any sign of mold? If not, I wouldn’t bother taking the covers off. If there is, I’d take care of the mold, repair any damage, add poly & leave the vents open. It wouldn’t hurt to have a fee contractors take a look & make suggestions. <div><br></div><div>Peace,</div><div>Pat<br><br><div id="AppleMailSignature" dir="ltr">Pat Horne <div>We support Caldwell County Habitat for Humanity</div><div><br></div></div><div dir="ltr"><br>On Oct 30, 2018, at 9:57 AM, Robert Nogueira <<a href="mailto:nogera@me.com">nogera@me.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-weight: bold; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The house attached to my garage is pier and beam with a crawl space.
