Frequently asked questions
Why does the afternoon storm pattern cause more trouble than a single big storm?
Because the ground never recovers between them. A one-off storm falls on soil with some capacity; daily wet-season convection falls on soil that is already full from yesterday. Each storm therefore produces proportionally more runoff than its inches would suggest in a drier month.
Nine inches in a month. What does that do to a roof?
It finds every marginal detail. Roof assemblies handle the total fine when it falls gradually, but wet-season storms deliver much of it at high intensity, and high rate is what exposes an undersized gutter, a lifted flashing or a shallow-pitch section. The failure is usually rate-driven rather than volume-driven.
Does air conditioning help or hurt with moisture here?
Mostly it helps, because cooling removes moisture as a by-product. Where it hurts is when the system itself becomes the source, through a blocked condensate line, a sweating duct in a hot attic, or an oversized unit that cools quickly without running long enough to dehumidify.
