Skylight leak repair services play a vital role in maintaining the integrity and comfort of your home. Skylights add a touch of elegance and natural light to any living space, but when they develop leaks, it can lead to significant water damage, mold
growth, and costly repairs.
The Importance of Skylight Leak Repair
Services
Skylight leaks can cause several issues, including:
a. Structural damage: Water seeping into your home can weaken the surrounding structures, such as the ceiling, walls, and roof. If left unattended, this can lead to expensive structural repairs.
b. Mold and mildew growth: Leaks create a damp environment, which is perfect for mold and mildew growth. This can lead to health issues for your family and further damage to your home.
c. Energy inefficiency: A leaking skylight can result in increased energy costs, as your heating and cooling systems have to work harder to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.
d. Reduced property value: Unresolved leaks can negatively impact the resale value of your home, as potential buyers may be deterred by the required repairs.

How to diagnose a skylight leak
- Indoor clues helps diagnose
a skylight leak, look very closely at where water stains
originate inside the building, trace stains to their highest
point. The leak will be at or up-roof from that spot.
- Indoors, distinguish between a true skylight leak and indoor condensate stains that originate from indoor moisture condensing on the cool skylight surface, running down into, and overflowing a small condensate drip tray that some skylights include.
- Cut a small ceiling inspection opening: indoors, if the ceiling drywall is only modestly leak stained, there is a chance that ceiling insulation has become wet and may even contain hidden mold. In this case, unless the stain is really trivial in size, it may be justified to cut a small opening near the leak to investigate the roof cavity for rot, visible mold, or wet insulation.
- Remove ceiling drywall: indoors, if the ceiling drywall is badly leak stained it is appropriate to remove the damaged drywall material completely, remove any wet or stained fiberglass insulation, and clean the ceiling cavity. Leave the ceiling open around the offending skylight first to permit things to dry out thoroughly, and second to permit our next diagnostic steps just below.
