Homes in Industry
Industry is small and mostly owner-occupied: about 83% of occupied homes are owned. Census estimates suggest a median year built of 1959, with a notable share of homes from the 1970s as well as houses older than 1940.
The ACS estimates about 242 housing units in the village. Roughly 71 were built in 1939 or earlier and about 78 in the 1970s, the largest single decade. Because the village is small, these figures have wide margins of error and should be read as a rough picture rather than an exact count.
A mix of older homes and 1970s houses means basements vary a lot: some have older block or stone walls, others poured concrete with later finishing. In both, mold usually follows the same pattern of moisture that stays too long, whether from seepage, a leak near a water heater or laundry area, or condensation on cool walls in summer.
Grindstone Creek and local drainage
Industry drains north to Grindstone Creek, a tributary of Camp Creek in the La Moine River watershed. Surface water after heavy rain, rather than the creek itself, is the usual concern for a basement.
To see whether your property is in a mapped flood area, search your address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center. Around Industry, open farmland surrounds the village, so runoff, grading and gutters matter. Because the village is farther from Macomb than the other covered towns, ask the professional about availability and timing when they contact you.
