A Mill Creek Village Since 1824
Judge Samuel W. Dexter founded the 'Mill Creek Settlement' in 1824 and dammed the creek that year for a saw mill, adding a grist mill soon after; the village was platted and renamed Dexter in 1830.
Moisture Near a 200-Year-Old Dammed Creek
Homes built close to Mill Creek and its historic dam sit in a naturally damper microclimate than homes set farther back, and older basements and crawl spaces from Dexter's 19th-century core were rarely built with the vapor barriers and ventilation a modern code would require -- a common combination behind hidden mold.

Mention the home's distance from Mill Creek and roughly how old the crawl space or basement is -- older, unlined spaces near the creek are the most common starting point.
