Humidity in Alabama's Newest Mobile-Area City
Semmes only became a city in 2011 -- voters approved incorporation in August 2010 -- after generations as an unincorporated timber and, later, nursery-trade community known for its azalea growers. That late, gradual growth means Semmes never developed a dense urban core, and its housing spans older rural homesteads to newer subdivisions on large lots.
Well, Septic, and Ventilation on Rural Lots
Well and septic systems remain common on Semmes's larger, more rural-feeling properties, and homeowners moving in from denser parts of the metro sometimes don't realize how differently crawl-space and foundation ventilation need to be handled outside a municipal-utility area.

On a Semmes property, checking well and septic proximity to the foundation is as much a part of a mold assessment as checking the attic or crawl space itself.
