OK, my son has carelessly taken our weedeater and damaged our
Fountdation vents. Is there any way to replace or repair these vents?
Please help.


Thanks

What type of vents are they? There's certainly some way to either
repair or replace, but you'd have to give more details first.

Josh,

Foundation vents can be as simple as sheet metal with louvers cut into
them or plastic, to hinged devices with thermostats attached to
open/close depending on temp.

Either way, they are probably just nailed or screwed into the wooden
frame set into the foundation. If they can be removed cleanly, you may
be able to bend or hammer it back into shape. If not, they are pretty
cheap to replace at the local Home Depot or Lowes (in the
roofing/concrete section).

Let us know if you have a different situation,

James
