Actually, you should be concerned about combustion air. If your water
heater is located in the basement, and you 'seal it off' from the rest of
the area, you could be creating a hazardous condition. Call your local
plumber or HVAC company, and ask a few questions. Pay a small service fee
and have them come out to look at what you are proposing. The service fee
is a small price to pay for your family's safety.
