Glass or Seal Failure Repair
Many skylights feature insulated glass designed to improve comfort and efficiency. When the seals between glass panes fail, the skylight can lose clarity and insulation performance.
Indicators of glass or seal failure include:
- Fogging or condensation trapped between panes
- Reduced natural light entering the space
- Changes in indoor temperature near the skylight
Why seal failures should be addressed:
- Prevents energy loss and heat transfer
- Restores clear visibility and light quality
- Helps avoid long term moisture related issues
Common repair solutions include:
- Replacing the insulated glass unit
- Preserving the existing skylight frame when possible
- Improving overall energy efficiency without full replacement
Flashing Repair or Replacement
Flashing plays a critical role in protecting the area where the skylight meets the roof. When flashing becomes compromised, water can enter even if the skylight itself is undamaged.
Common flashing issues include:
- Loose or improperly installed flashing
- Corrosion or material fatigue over time
- Separation caused by roof movement or temperature changes
Why flashing repairs are important:
- Prevents water intrusion around the skylight perimeter
- Helps extend the lifespan of the skylight and roof
- Maintains a clean, finished appearance on the roof
Flashing repair options may include:
- Securing or adjusting existing flashing
- Replacing damaged sections with new materials
- Installing updated flashing systems for better protection
