Crawl-space moisture and mold
1960s crawl spaces on Hancock County soil stay damp — floor framing and ductwork pay for it quietly.
Helmcrest is Fortville's 1960s–70s in-town subdivision around N Madison St, Berkley Dr, and Alden Dr (46040) — smaller ranches and split-levels on municipal water and sewer. Fetched listings agree on the foundation story: crawl spaces, including one crawl/slab combination, with no basements documented.
