Why mold grows in Margate homes
Canals and lakes. Margate is crossed by canals and dotted with lakes that manage stormwater. Humidity stays high and heavy rain can pool around homes.
1960s to 1980s homes. Much of Margate was built in this period, so original plumbing, water heaters, roofs and AC systems are common leak sources.
Condo communities. Shared walls and roofs in condo communities let leaks spread between units.
