Fancyhdr vertical overlap with body section title

Question

I am writing up a product report, and building my header with fancyhdr.

On the first page, the section header (in the body) is overlapping with the page header, as shown here:

This is not repeated on following pages:

The header is specified as a 2-line table in the left side, and a 3-line table in the right side.

How can I remove the overlap with the section title? Thanks!

Use

usepackage[showframe]{geometry}

to see the margins configuration. Then you can set it up and increase the distance between the text area and the header (namely headsep). For example,

usepackage[showframe,headsep=1cm,headheight=2cm]{geometry}.

I had the same issue and I have solved by equaling headheight to the font size (mine was 14 pt) i.e.
setlength{headheight}{14pt}
I hope that this help.
