Why mold grows in West Palm Beach homes
Heavy rain is normal here. West Palm Beach averages about 60 inches of rain a year. In September 2004, when Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne struck, Palm Beach International Airport recorded 29.40 inches, the most for any month since records began.
Historic neighborhoods, older materials. Northwood, Old Northwood, El Cid, Flamingo Park and Grandview Heights have many 1920s to 1950s homes with wood framing, plaster walls and older roofs that can let water in and hold it.
Downtown is condo country. High-rises downtown and along Flagler Drive share plumbing stacks and ductwork, so a leak or AC overflow in one unit can spread moisture and mold to others.
