Default Wet Crawl Space

I am in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. I have seen several crawl spaces that have had water in them. I am going by the silt left on the Vapor Barrier. When is a good idea to blow sand into a crawl space? I have heard some different thoughts from older Realtors.
Thanks A. Lassiter

High water table in area? Drainage issues? The problem needs to be identified and corrected instead of absorbing it..

Never, unless you're the dishonest sort that tries to cover up problems.
