Uneven decades behind Lehigh Acres' small lots
Lehigh Acres was platted in the 1950s and sold off in small lots years ahead of any real infrastructure, and the decades of uneven build-out since mean construction quality and moisture-proofing vary as much block to block as they do house to house. That inconsistency is unusually pronounced even for a fast-growing Lee County community.
Why build era matters more than location here
A mold assessment in Lehigh Acres depends more on knowing a property's actual construction era and builder than on which part of town it sits in. Guessing based on neighborhood alone leads to more misdiagnoses here than almost anywhere else covered on this site.
