Crawl Space ?'s

Sorry, long. I thought basement forum the place to post.

DD and SIL bought a cottage in Door County, WI (Door County is on granite, any digging is done by blasting). Crawl space is very damp, at times has water in there. Some mold on floor joists. Sellers gave $ for fix. The plan was to lay cement down there. In crawl there are water heater, humidifier and will install sump pump.

Cement guy said that there were no weep holes in the foundation. He can't dig to put them in, but he laid cement and put drain tiles under cement. Sump is being installed this week.

Now my questions. Has anyone any input on this? Also, realtor (who DH and I think is wrong) says NO ONE in Door County opens the vents that are in the foundation. Now we live in a home with a crawl and every spring my DH gets under there and opens our vents, closes them in the fall. Any input on this? All comments welcome.

Thanks, Kathy G in MI
