A 1958 charter over much older farmland
Centerville didn't formally become a city until March 25, 1958, but the land it sits on — between Macon and Perry in Houston County — was farmed well before that charter. That gap matters for crawlspace work because a property's actual build date can predate the town's official history by decades, and older farmhouse-era crawlspaces were never built to any modern moisture standard.
A bedroom community on sandy, well-drained ground
Centerville today functions mainly as a bedroom community for Robins Air Force Base and Warner Robins, with a 2020 census population of 8,228 and continued growth since. Like the rest of upper Houston County, it sits on sandy Coastal Plain soil that drains fast on the surface — good news for standing water, but it doesn't stop humid regional air, with relative humidity commonly in the 70s percent through late summer, from reaching an unsealed crawlspace from below.
