West Palm Beach context
Assessing a West Palm Beach home usually starts with moisture readings inside the CBS block cavities and around window bucks, since stucco can look fine on the surface while trapping water underneath. Older El Cid and Flamingo Park cottages add lath-and-plaster complications a newer concrete-block ranch simply doesn't have.
