Moho en ático en Kendall: lo que debe saber
Kendall's large suburban tract housing from the 1970s–1990s has widespread crawl-space access issues and HVAC systems that are frequently undersized or improperly maintained for the tropical climate — mold in attic spaces and behind HVAC closets is common.
The western sections of Kendall are on the edge of the Everglades ecosystem and have consistently high water tables and ambient humidity — ground moisture intrusion in slab-on-grade homes is a persistent issue.
