Backfill around a graded foundation collects water, and dense clay below it will not let go.
Centerville subdivisions were built on graded lots, and the loose backfill placed against a foundation stays more permeable than the soil around it forever. Water finds that looser ring and fills it, and the dense clay underneath makes sure it stays there.
That is why leaks here often follow a pattern. One side of the house takes water and the other stays dry, depending on where the driveway, the grade, and the downspouts send runoff. It has more to do with the site than the age of the home.
Waterproofing works with that pattern. Perimeter drainage inside the crawl space intercepts what makes it through, a sump takes it out, and outside we correct the grade and the roof water that is filling the backfill in the first place. A sealed vapor barrier over the ground handles the vapor side once the liquid water has a route.
Our crawl space waterproofing scope is the same on every Centerville home, whatever the Houston County ground turns out to be doing.
