Moisture from a century of waterfront building
Dunedin grew up as a working port after its 1899 incorporation, a boatbuilding and shipping town where wood construction near the docks has dealt with waterfront humidity for well over a century. Older wood-frame structures close to the historic downtown and harbor carry more accumulated exposure to that dampness than homes further inland.
Confirming moisture near the historic waterfront
A property close to Dunedin's working harbor is worth checking for moisture in crawlspaces and wall cavities that back up to the waterfront side, since humidity from the harbor doesn't stop at the property line. Pinellas County's high water table adds to that risk in low-lying spots near the water.
