Mi techo gotea cuando llueve fuerte — ¿qué hacer?

  • Causa #1: tapajuntas deteriorado alrededor de chimeneas, ventilaciones y paredes
  • Causa #2: tejas levantadas o faltantes que permiten la entrada del agua impulsada por viento
  • Causa #3: canaletas obstruidas que causan backup de agua bajo las tejas
  • Causa #4: botas de ventilación agrietadas — baratas de reparar, costosas si se ignoran
  • Urgente: coloque una cubeta, documente con fotos, y llame a un profesional inmediatamente

Goteras durante lluvia fuerte: causas comunes en Savannah

Savannah recibe más de 50 pulgadas de lluvia al año, con tormentas de verano particularmente intensas. Si su techo solo gotea durante lluvias fuertes, generalmente eso señala un punto de entrada específico que puede repararse sin reemplazo completo — si se atiende a tiempo.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my roof only leak during heavy rain?

Heavy rain overwhelms deteriorated seals that handle normal rainfall: worn flashing joints, lifted shingle edges with broken adhesive, cracked boot seals around pipe penetrations, and clogged valleys that overflow. Wind-driven rain during storms also forces water horizontally into gaps that shed vertical rainfall normally.

Is a small roof leak during heavy rain serious?

Yes. Any water entering your home causes damage — even small amounts. Wet insulation loses R-value, damp wood starts growing mold within 24–48 hours in Savannah's humidity, and repetitive wetting weakens structural components over time. What starts as a drip during storms becomes a major problem during hurricane season.

What should I do when my roof leaks during a storm?

Immediately: place a bucket or container to catch water, move furniture and valuables away, and take photos/video for documentation. Do not climb on the roof during a storm. After the storm: call a roofing professional for inspection and temporary repair. File an insurance claim if the leak resulted from storm damage.
