Why is my skylight leaking during heavy rain?

Skylight leaks during heavy rain are usually caused by worn-out perimeter flashing, cracked sealant, or clogged roof drainage channels surrounding the skylight frame.

Can a leaking skylight be repaired or does it need full replacement?

Most skylight leaks can be fixed by replacing damaged flashing or applying proper commercial-grade sealants. Replacement is only required if the glass unit seal or frame structure is permanently compromised.

Do you provide a warranty on skylight repair work?

Yes, all our skylight repair services include a 5-year workmanship warranty to give you complete peace of mind.

A Small Feature, A Common Leak Source

Why Skylights Leak — And How We Fix Them

Skylights are one of the most common sources of roof leaks, not because the unit itself is faulty, but because the flashing and seal around it fail over time. Sun exposure, temperature swings, and age all break down the sealant that keeps water out.

We repair skylight leaks by addressing the actual point of failure whether that’s deteriorated flashing, a cracked seal, condensation buildup, or a damaged curb. In many cases, a full skylight replacement isn’t necessary; a proper reseal and flashing repair solves the problem.

Every skylight repair includes a free inspection, a written estimate, and a 5-year workmanship warranty.

Common Metal Roof Issues

What We Repair on Metal Roofs

These are the issues we see most often on residential and commercial metal roofing.

Active Leaks

Water dripping or staining around the skylight frame points to a failed seal or flashing we trace it and reseal properly.

Fogging or Condensation

Cloudy glass between panes usually means a broken seal letting moisture in. We assess whether reseal or glass replacement is needed.

Flashing Deterioration

Flashing around the skylight curb wears down with sun and weather exposure. We rebuild and reseal flashing to stop leaks at the source.

Cracked or Damaged Glazing

Cracks in the skylight glass or plastic glazing compromise the seal. We repair or replace damaged glazing as needed.

Drafts & Air Leaks

Felt a draft near your skylight? Gaps in the seal let air through along with moisture. We seal these gaps completely.

Curb & Frame Damage

Rotted or damaged curb structure under the skylight needs repair before resealing will hold properly.

Skylight FAQs

Common Questions

Do I need a new skylight, or can it be repaired?

Most skylight leaks come from failed flashing or seals, not the unit itself these can almost always be repaired. Full replacement is only needed if the glazing is badly damaged or the unit has reached end of life.

Why is my skylight fogging up between the panes?

Fogging between panes means the gas seal has failed, allowing moisture in. Depending on severity, this can sometimes be resealed, though significant fogging may require glazing replacement.

How long does a skylight repair take?

Most flashing and reseal repairs are completed in a single visit, typically within a few hours depending on accessibility.

Can a skylight leak damage the surrounding roof?

Yes, water that enters around a skylight can travel and damage surrounding roof decking or interior ceilings. We inspect the surrounding area as part of every skylight repair.
