Automatic Vents
Crawlspace Foundation Vents
Foundation vents are commonly found alongside the foundation walls of properties built over a crawlspace. These crawlspace vents have rectangular shapes with screened louvers meant to open and close. However, not knowing when to open and close your crawlspace vents can pose a problem, especially when the property is an investment property or a second home, where you only visit during a particular time of year.
Most existing crawlspace vents are louver vents that were installed by the builder. These louver vents are manual vents, meaning you have to open and close them manually throughout the year. It is generally common to close your crawlspace vents during the winter season and open them during warmer climates for residents in New Jersey.

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
One important thing you should keep in mind is that annual maintenance is always imperative and key to maintaining the integrity of your property. Therefore, as part of our ongoing efforts to provide a full service even after project completion, we also offer an annual vent service. This helps ensure there are no issues present that may hinder the vents from operating as they should.
Additionally, having your vents checked yearly or semi-annually can help ensure your automatic crawlspace vents function properly year-round.
To help maintain your automatic crawlspace vents, we offer an annual vent service for all our customers with whom we have previously installed the above-referenced vents. To schedule your vent service, please log in to your Members Only page and book your annual vent service today!
