I am looking at a project with a crawl space with 6 mil poly over dirt floor with air vents

user-963786 | Posted in Interior Design on

Which has exposed piping to the weather. Should I close off vents or insulate the piping better?

    Q. "Should I close off vents or insulate the piping better?"

    A. Seal the vents. For more information on sealed crawl spaces, see Crawl spaces or http://crawlspaces.org.
