Crawlspace moisture in Bahama's milling-era buildings
Bahama's growth traces to the Lynchburg & Durham Railroad, which supported the Tilley Brothers' Roller Mill, the A.W. Tilley and Turner and Hill stores, and a graded school by the early 1900s — an agricultural and milling economy that left behind crawlspace foundations never sealed or vented to a modern standard.
August humidity and older crawlspaces
Durham's most humid month is August, averaging around 71% relative humidity, and that moisture works its way into an open or poorly vented crawlspace under one of Bahama's older farmhouses or store buildings well before it shows up as a visible problem indoors. An assessment on a property from this era should start under the house, not just inside it.
