I've noticed and colder climates, people are starting to
block their attic and crawlspace vents to prevent excessive moisture in
these areas from accumulating.
Living on the West Coast of the United States,
moisture is a problem in unventilated areas. In colder climates,
moisture seems to be a bigger problem with leaving the vents open.
I'm not a big fan of sealing off a crawlspace or an attic. I believe
these areas need ventilation to prevent mold and mildew, dry rot and
stale air. Check with a local contractor in your area for some better
advice, if you're experiencing moisture problems in your crawlspace or
attic.
