Our Roof Skylight Repair Solutions
We address all key parts of skylight repair to keep your home safe and energy-efficient. Our work includes fixing leaks, replacing damaged glass, and restoring the frame's strength.
Sealant Replacement
Old or cracked sealant around the skylight can cause leaks and drafts. We carefully remove the damaged sealant and apply new, durable materials designed to resist weather and UV damage. This stops water from entering and keeps your insulation effective.
Replacing sealant also prevents mold growth caused by moisture buildup. We use high-quality sealants that bond well with most roofing materials. This process is quick but crucial to protect your home from long-term damage.
Glass Panel Repairs
Damaged glass panels can reduce natural light and cause air leaks. We inspect your skylight for cracks, chips, or fogging. Minor damage can often be repaired, but we will replace panels if needed.
Our replacement glass options match your existing skylight in size, style, and energy efficiency. We ensure the glass installation is secure and sealed to prevent leaks. This restores your skylight’s appearance and function.
Frame Restoration
The frame supports the glass and seals it to the roof. Over time, frames can warp, rot, or corrode. We carefully assess the condition and repair or replace parts as needed.
Our team uses materials that resist weather damage and provide strong support. Restoring the frame helps prevent leaks and keeps the skylight properly aligned. It also extends the overall lifespan of your skylight.
Our Inspection and Diagnosis Process
We start by carefully examining the skylight to find the root cause of any issues. Our approach uses both visual checks and specialized tools to identify problems like leaks or damage accurately. This helps us decide the best way to fix the skylight.
Initial Assessment
We begin with a close visual inspection of the skylight, inside and out. This allows us to check for obvious signs like cracks, broken seals, or discoloration around the window frame. We look at the skylight’s flashing and the surrounding roofing materials to make sure they are intact and properly connected.
During this step, we also note any water stains or mold inside the building near the skylight. These signs often point to leaks or moisture problems. Taking photos helps us track any changes over time and plan repairs.
Leak Detection
Locating the exact spot where leaks enter can be tricky. We use water testing, where we spray water around the skylight to see if and where water seeps in. This simulates rain and helps us observe leaks in real time.
In some cases, we also use moisture meters to detect hidden damp areas inside walls or ceilings near the skylight. This tool measures moisture levels without damaging the structure, allowing us to find leaks that aren’t visible.
Damage Identification
To identify structural damage, we check the skylight frame, glass, and seals thoroughly. We look for warped or rotted wood, cracked glass, and worn-out rubber or silicone seals.
We might also use infrared cameras to detect hidden damage caused by heat loss or moisture buildup. This non-invasive method shows temperature differences that suggest areas needing repair. Knowing the exact damage helps us plan the correct materials and techniques for repair.
