Central Florida receives 50 inches of rain annually, with the majority falling between June and September in intense afternoon thunderstorms. These storms drop two to three inches in under an hour, overwhelming roof drainage systems and finding every vulnerable penetration in your roofing envelope. Unlike gradual leaks that give homeowners warning signs, storm-driven rain can saturate an attic in minutes. The wind-driven rain common during tropical systems forces water under shingles, through soffit vents, and around improperly sealed roof boots. This combination of high-volume water and elevated humidity means Orlando attics never get a chance to dry naturally between events. Mold growth begins within 48 hours, and the next storm often arrives before the previous damage has been addressed. Fast response for attic water removal services is not a convenience in Orlando. It is a requirement.
