Questions

Common questions.

What river is Searcy on?
Searcy is on the Little Red River near the geographic center of White County. White Sulphur Springs, a health resort, was part of the town's early history.
What parks are in Searcy?
Spring Park, Berryhill Park, Yancey Park and Riverside Park are named in the Encyclopedia of Arkansas entry. Pioneer Village is also listed among the town's landmarks.
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.
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.
