Moisture beneath a two-century-old campus town
The university at the center of Chapel Hill was chartered in 1789 and its oldest surviving building, Old East, had its cornerstone laid in 1793 — construction practices from that era, and every era since, are represented in the crawlspaces and foundations of the homes built up around campus.
Hilly lots, humidity, and older foundations
Chapel Hill's hilly, tree-covered in-town lots can trap moisture against a crawlspace foundation longer than a flatter site would, and Durham's roughly 71% average August humidity adds to that load. A mold assessment on a campus-adjacent home benefits from knowing whether the crawlspace was built before or after modern vapor-barrier standards.
