Rain and tree debris
A summer downpour finds every weak spot
Tampa gets roughly 50 inches of rain in a year, much of it in short summer storms. Water can rise over a packed gutter in minutes, run behind the fascia and collect beside the slab.
Live oaks and laurel oaks drop leaves, catkins and acorns. Slash pines add long needles that weave into a dense mat and slip through many gutter guards. There is no long, quiet season when the roofline stops collecting debris.
