How did Colt begin?

Where is Colt in relation to Crowley's Ridge?

Why is mold such a concern in Arkansas homes?

Arkansas has hot, humid summers. NOAA's 1991-2020 normals put Little Rock's average yearly precipitation at about 50 inches and its July average temperature at about 81 F. EPA advises keeping indoor humidity below 60 percent, ideally 30 to 50 percent. Warm, damp air is why moisture problems show up in Arkansas attics, crawlspaces and bathrooms.
