Old Town sits just east of downtown, a historic grid of owner-occupied homes built mostly before 1930. Original galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains still serve many of these houses, and a slow hidden leak can soak a crawlspace for weeks. Old Town's pre-1930 construction and aging plumbing create conditions for hidden water damage. Winter freezes, spring storms, and the settled soil around old foundations all push moisture into crawlspaces and subfloors here regularly.
