Raleigh's mature tree canopy means storms and hurricanes often drop large limbs and whole trees on roofs, letting rain inside. Fast growth across Wake County means many new homes with common new-construction leak points, like PEX fittings, attic HVAC equipment and washing machine boxes.
Many Raleigh homes sit on vented crawlspaces, which stay humid in summer and grow mold. Newer homes have attic HVAC equipment and PEX plumbing with common new-construction leak points. Older homes in Oakwood and Boylan Heights have plaster walls, original wood floors and aging plumbing.
