Most homes that have basements also have crawl spaces. However, most homes do not have basements that extend the entire footprint of the home. I have no recommendation either way, but I do have a strong recommendation for encapsulating your crawl space and dehumidifying it. If you decide to have a crawl space, do not create an open vent crawl space. When putting in a basement, you must first address the water and humidity issue. You want to put in French drains along the perimeter of the basement if you can; however, this will not address all the water problems. You need to put in a drain along the inside walls under the ground going to a sub pump. Then, install a liner on all the basement walls. A dehumidifier will also be needed to address all the excess water that will eventually get into the basement. http://www.dalworthrestoration.com/crawl-space/crawl-space-vapor-barrier-installation.html has more information on the topic. www.dalworthrestoration.com www.dalworthrestoration.com www.dalworthrestoration.com www.dalworthrestoration.com
