   What I want to know is why did they build it on tape? Shouldn't it be on a more solid foundation?

   Assuming it was a nat gas leak in the crawl, I doubt if venting would have made much of a difference.

   I'd be more worried about a fire guy who suspects "back-drafting of smoke" into the crawl space.

   So far as I know - smoke doesn't explode.

   Smoke certainly can explode. But the picture to me looked like a gas or vapor explosion in a basement, not a crawl.

   If there were no vents then how did the smoke get in there?
