Customers should take into consideration maintaining the roof, flashing and shingles to avoid having skylight weakening that will be very harmful to your skylight and residence. The most common need for a new skylight replacement is from damage when water makes its way under the gaps of the skylight itself, into the surrounding metal skylight flashing and eventually into the home itself. Another reason you may need a new skylight replacement is improper building of what you have there now. There are other potential drawbacks to a skylight. The likelihood of discovering that your skylight is leaking increases with its frequency of use. Sometimes the problem is more distinct. A skylight could truly add optimum ambiance to a spot. More often than not, skylights may be fixed.

The window that makes up the skylight must be fitted properly to the opening made for it. Or leaks could occur within a few weeks or months when the flashing begins to fail due to water invasion. High humidity can also lead to the development of condensation that drips down the glass of your property’s skylight. Harm is more likely if you need to run your property’s air conditioner frequently to make your house even more comfortable. Still, it’s a good objective to get your skylight inspected by a certified skylight tech.

How Do Skylights Become Damaged?

There are usually 4 major spots our roofing experts look first to fix that leaky skylight of yours. We’ll analyze the skylight’s flashing – which is the metal component installed specifically to prevent projecting roof elements from developing leaks around their sides.

We’ll test the skylight’s insulation – because without enough insulation – or no insulation at all – warm air will flow up freely from inside the home and cause condensation. When insulation touches the glass, condensation over and over results, which brings you right back to the problem from above. In some cases, rain will also infiltrate poorly insulated spaces, infiltrating more insulation as it leaks through. Luckily, this is an easy fix that may take only a few minutes.

Cracked glass may be the reason your skylight is leaking (like if you have recently had a hailstorm). Minor damage will grow worse over time and then one direct hit from a larger stone may cause a crack. There are many new skylight options to choose from with modern skylights. Skylights come in a range of different shapes – including flat, arched, domed and pyramid. Just like their name indicates, fixed skylights are ‘fixed’ and do not open for air ventilation. Basically, they’re totally sealed closed on the roof. Ventilated skylights can be excellent for kitchens and bathrooms, as they also aid in removing excess dew and keep a constant flow of fresh air in the living area. Basically, a ventilated skylight is an addition of a new window onto the roof of your structure.
