Questions

Common questions.

Has Yellville had flooding?

On July 17, 2024, the National Weather Service in Little Rock issued a Flash Flood Emergency for Yellville and Summit. Shawnee Town Branch flowed over the Highway 14 bridge in Yellville and the Marion County Courthouse flooded.

How did Yellville get its name?

White settlers called the former Shawnee settlement Shawneetown, which became the county seat when Marion County was created in 1836. Residents later renamed it Yellville to honor Archibald Yell.

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.
