    Damp under my house need advice??

    I know someone who had the power vents for the attic, along the same idea as the fans mentioned for under the house. Bad idea... for him it burned his house down. I would just leave the vents open and see what happens. After all thats why the builder put the vents there in the first place!

    Polished Concrete Flooring
