Humidity in GM boomtown housing stock
The wave of housing built quickly around Doraville's 1945-47 GM assembly-plant construction favored speed over ventilation detail, and many of those postwar homes are still standing more than a decade after the plant itself closed in September 2008.
Assessing a fast-built postwar home
Fast-built boomtown houses like Doraville's are more likely to have minimal attic ventilation and shallow crawlspaces than custom-built homes from the same era, so an assessment there focuses heavily on attic airflow and crawlspace vapor barriers.
