Moisture beneath Wake County's oldest rail community
Morrisville was chartered in 1875 as the oldest community in Wake County along the North Carolina Railroad, growing from the water station Jeremiah Morris donated land for in 1852. By the 1870s the town had six general stores and a hotel, and the crawlspaces under that depot-era core were built long before modern vapor barriers existed.
Depot-era crawlspaces and Piedmont humidity
An assessment on a property near Morrisville's original depot-era core should look at the crawlspace or foundation type before assuming it matches newer construction further from downtown. Durham's roughly 71% average August humidity is enough to sustain hidden moisture in an older, unsealed crawlspace for months.
