How Old Is the Framing Under High Point Homes?
Based on U.S. Census Bureau survey data, the median High Point home was built in 1985, and about 45 percent of all 47,861 housing units counted, apartments and attached homes included, were built before 1980. More of them went up in the 2000s than in any other decade, 9,765 homes.
Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for Piedmont Triad International Airport, about 8 miles away, the average July dew point near High Point 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 1985, the original posts, beams and joists have carried the floor for about 41 years.

The ground in High Point
How Does High Point Soil Affect Crawl Spaces?
The USDA sample inside High Point is mostly Mecklenburg soil, a deep yellowish red clay. Of the five points the USDA sampled inside High Point, three are Mecklenburg, one is Vance and one is Enon. Across Guilford County as a whole, the most common soil is Enon, covering about a fifth of the land, followed by Cecil, Clifford and Mecklenburg. The USDA rates the sample inside High Point moderate for swelling and shrinking.
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. Loam is soil with a mix of sand, silt and 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.
Vance is a moderately deep soil that formed in place as pale rock such as granite and gneiss beneath it weathered. Soft, weathered rock lies a few feet down, and hard bedrock lies much deeper. Its top layer is sandy loam, and under that is yellowish brown clay. It drains well.
What It Means for Your Home
- What works in your favorMecklenburg 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 deteriorating insulation, higher energy bills, and moisture in the crawl space.
- 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 High Point, the survey maps Mecklenburg, Vance and Enon series. USDA rates the soil moderate for swelling and shrinking (weighted linear extensibility 5.5 percent). Across Guilford County, it maps Enon, Cecil, Clifford and Mecklenburg series. Series descriptions: USDA NRCS Official Series Descriptions for Mecklenburg and Vance.

Shawn Singleton with Hydrohelp 911 did an excellent job inspecting and measuring my crawlspace, the surrounding topography, and other features of my lot that play into a comprehensive solution. He recommended a very thorough plan and provided a detailed estimate to make the necessary repairs. He was able to answer every question I threw at him in detail since he used to actually do much of the work prior to sales. I was very impressed with his knowledge, attitude, and commitment to excellence. I’d definitely recommend this company!
