Pier-and-beam foundation crawl spaces need proper ventilation in order to avoid trapping moisture inside. Therefore any vent openings should not be covered, even by commercial covers sold specifically for that purpose.
A failing foundation can result in sagging flooring and out-of-plumb doors. A structural engineer can recommend corrective measures.
Crawl spaces should be kept as dry as possible and never allowed to have water standing in them. If water does seep into the crawl space regularly, a qualified foundation company should be called in to stop the seepage and repair any damage to the foundation.

A cracked slab foundation is an early sign of more serious foundation problems. A structural engineer should be called in to assess the damage and recommend corrective measures. A qualified foundation company should then be hired to do the work.
A splash block or down-spout extension can help guide water away from a foundation. Otherwise water may pool close to the foundation, which can cause costly damage.
