Why condition rather than vent your crawl space

For a year, The Building Science Corporation studied conditioned crawl spaces and compared them with vented areas. Their top three findings are:

1. Conditioned crawl spaces perform better than vented crawl spaces in terms of safety, health, comfort, durability and energy consumption.
2. Conditioned crawl spaces also do not cost more to construct than vented crawl spaces.
3. Existing vented crawl spaces are experiencing serious moisture and mold problems and are costing builders and homeowners significant resources to repair.

A study of sump pumps and interior draining

The University of Minnesota extension studied basement moisture and solutions. Here are their conclusions about draining and use of sump pumps.

1. In most cases when water is entering the basement, an interior drainage system is installed. The simplest and least costly approach is a drainage channel adhered at the base of the wall and the floor slab.
2. Water is collected and drained into a sump using another channel placed on top of the slab, then through a trap to the sump basin.
3. The sump should have an airtight, childproof cover.
