For the love of your crawlspace: soil inside vent wells MUST BE SEVERAL INCHES BELOW THE VENT OPENING. This means you have to dig down *several inches* when installing the well (usually close to the height of the well itself, minus the depth of any mulch or additional soil you will be adding). This photo shows a correctly-installed vent well. 🏆
I see too often vent wells that are just a couple of inches submerged into the soil, with zero soil REMOVED… sometimes the well is at or above the siding. 😳
Think about worst case scenario: it snows several inches. When that snow at the foundation/well melts, it goes straight into your crawlspace.
Same idea with window wells: soil should be be *several inches* clear of ANY wood materials (sill/trim, framing at opening)… or eventually you’ll have moisture intrusion into your basement at the window and/or rot.
