Drip from eave to metal roof

8 years ago

Our home has an eave on the second level that overhangs a portion of metal roof on the first level. We're in Florida in high humidity and regular rain and condensation, and at least in the mornings, there is a near constant drip from the eave to the metal roof. I have caulked the seam, which I think helped a bit but not enough because (a) the drip probably only went down by half - because the remaining drip is morning condensation on the underside of the eave; and (b) the full benefit only lasted a few months, and it's not realistic to get up on the second floor every 3 months to do a repair.


I'm wondering if there is a good fix for this? Maybe something that actually goes on the metal roof below to dampen the sound? I thought of a small patch of carpet tile or something, but wonder about mold over time, since the whole point would be to catch water. The area of roof at issue isn't really visible from down below, so we could do something unobtrusive. Any ideas?
