Inundación en sótano en Kendall: lo que debe saber
Kendall's large suburban subdivisions date mostly from the 1970s–1990s and sit on slab-on-grade construction throughout — there are no basements or crawl spaces here, so water intrusion during heavy rain or hurricane season typically enters at door thresholds, garage slabs, and roof penetrations.
Central AC systems across Kendall's tract housing run heavily for most of the year, and condensate line overflow near attic-mounted or closet air handlers is one of the most common everyday sources of water damage; the western sections closer to the Everglades also see heavier ground saturation after sustained rain events, which can push slab-level moisture intrusion higher during the wet season.
