How Old Is the Framing Under Greensboro Homes?
Based on U.S. Census Bureau survey data, the median Greensboro home was built in 1984, and about 44 percent of all 133,029 housing units counted, apartments and attached homes included, were built before 1980. More of them went up in the 1980s than in any other decade, 21,239 homes.
Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for Piedmont Triad International Airport, about 7 miles away, the average July dew point near Greensboro is about 67 degrees. Dew point is the temperature at which water condenses out of the air, so in a vented crawl space, July air can leave water on the posts, beams and joists that are cooler than about 67 degrees.
Under a home built in 1984, the original posts, beams and joists have carried the floor for about 42 years.

| 1940s | 5,099 | 4% |
| 1950s | 13,998 | 11% |
| 1960s | 14,424 | 11% |

The ground in Greensboro
How Does Greensboro Soil Affect Crawl Spaces?
Cecil and Mecklenburg are the most common soils in the USDA sample inside Greensboro. Of the five points the USDA sampled inside Greensboro, two are Cecil, two are Mecklenburg and one is Vance. The wider county survey for Guilford County leads with Enon, at about a fifth of the land, then Cecil, Clifford and Mecklenburg. The USDA rates the sample inside Greensboro moderate for swelling and shrinking, which means it swells noticeably when it gets wet and shrinks as it dries.
Cecil is a deep soil that formed in place as pale rock such as granite and gneiss beneath it weathered, usually found on ridges and hillsides. Its top layer is sandy loam, and under that is red clay. Loam is soil with a mix of sand, silt and clay. It drains well.
Mecklenburg is a deep soil that formed in place as darker rock rich in iron and magnesium beneath it weathered, usually found on ridges and hillsides. Its top layer is loam, and under that is yellowish red clay. It drains well, and the USDA rates it moderate for swelling and shrinking, which means it swells noticeably when it gets wet and shrinks as it dries.
What It Means for Your Home
- What works in your favorCecil drains well, so rain usually soaks away instead of collecting on the crawl space floor.
- What to watchEven soil that drains well can stay wet where roof runoff collects, and the ground under a crawl space still gives off moisture into the air under the house. In wet months the clay can also swell against the footings, then shrink back in dry ones, and the floor above can move with it.
- Signs you might noticeLook for higher energy bills, moisture in the crawl space, and sagging floors.
- How we address itWhere water reaches the floor, an interior crawl space drainage system that carries it to a sump pump is part of the repair plan. For damp air, our usual recommendation is crawl space encapsulation with a dehumidifier, and where the wood has weakened, crawl space structural repair.
Soil survey: USDA NRCS Soil Data Access (SSURGO), sdmdataaccess.nrcs.usda.gov. Inside Greensboro, the survey maps Cecil, Mecklenburg and Vance series. USDA rates the soil moderate for swelling and shrinking (weighted linear extensibility 3.5 percent). Across Guilford County, it maps Enon, Cecil, Clifford and Mecklenburg series. Series descriptions: USDA NRCS Official Series Descriptions for Cecil and Mecklenburg.

- Groundwater SeepageGroundwater seepage is water entering the crawl space from the ground itself.
- Deteriorating InsulationDeteriorating insulation is crawl space insulation that has lost its ability to slow heat transfer, almost always because it has taken on moisture.
