Questions

Common questions.

Does Crawfordsville flood?

The Encyclopedia of Arkansas says Crawfordsville's history is largely unblemished by the devastation floods have caused in nearby communities. It sits ten to fifteen feet higher than its immediate neighbors. Cypress Bayou lies north of the city and Alligator Bayou lies west.

How did Crawfordsville grow?

The city grew out of the post-Civil War timber industry, and the railroad sustained its growth as the economy transitioned from timber to farming in the early twentieth century. The depot closed in 1962 after passenger service ended, and the city once had four hotels within walking distance of it.

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.
