Local context
Afton is Star Valley's main hub - a mix of older agricultural-era single-family homes and newer subdivisions. The older homes commonly have basement-perimeter intrusion during spring melt. The newer homes have envelope-tightness issues similar to Ammon and Wilson.
Long, cold Star Valley winters drive aggressive interior heating, which can push wall-cavity dewpoints into mold-growth territory when air-sealing isn't paired with adequate ventilation. Spring melt off the surrounding Wyoming and Salt River ranges saturates lower-elevation properties for weeks.
