Questions

Common questions.

What is the setting of Salem, Arkansas?
Salem sits at the foot of Pilot Knob, and the South Fork of the Spring River runs through the town's northeastern boundaries.
What is the history of Salem?
Salem was selected as the Fulton County seat on July 4, 1844 and incorporated on July 21, 1900. The Battle of Salem, also called the Action at Spring River, took place on March 13, 1862.
Why do crawlspaces matter in Arkansas houses?
EPA notes that crawl spaces with high humidity are common sites of hidden mold growth, especially over bare soil, and that soil moisture raises the humidity in the air above it. Arkansas summers are humid, so crawlspace moisture is a common thing buyers ask about. EPA also advises grading the ground away from the foundation so it does not stay wet.
