Water around a skylight can come from the skylight, flashing, curb, seals or surrounding roofing. The source should be identified before choosing a solution.
Possible causes include failed flashing, cracked acrylic, roof deterioration, failed seals, poor previous installation and drainage issues.
Repair may be appropriate when the skylight is otherwise serviceable. Replacement can make more sense for cracked, brittle, cloudy or very old units.
Older acrylic skylights may become brittle, cracked or deteriorated after long-term sun exposure.
Repeated sealant can hide the real issue. Long-term correction starts with identifying the source.
We provide on-site skylight service in San Diego, Vista, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Encinitas, San Marcos and surrounding communities.
