A leaking skylight is almost always a flashing or seal problem, not a bad skylight itself — our Skylight Repair crews diagnose it correctly before touching anything.
Most skylight leaks trace back to the flashing around the curb, not the glass or dome itself — a detail general roofers sometimes miss.
We also check the surrounding shingles and decking while we're up there, since a skylight issue sometimes points to a broader roof concern.
Insurance documentation available before work begins on any Effingham property.
We carry common flashing and seal materials to handle most repairs in one visit.
Written Skylight Repair estimates before any repair, covering flashing, seals, or replacement separately.
Moisture meters help confirm whether a Skylight Repair issue is active or residual.
Here's what falls under our Effingham Skylight Repair service for skylights.
We re-flash the full perimeter, not just the section that's visibly failing.
Seal replacement is often a faster, cheaper fix than homeowners expect before calling.
Fogging or dripping isn't always a leak — condensation from poor ventilation can mimic leak symptoms.
Replacement units are properly flashed and sealed, not just dropped into the old opening.
We assess roof framing and pitch before recommending curb-mount or deck-mount installation.
Poor attic ventilation near a skylight opening often causes the condensation homeowners mistake for a leak.
Skylight Skylight Repair visits are usually quick, but we still check the full flashing system before quoting anything.
A technician inspects the flashing, seals, and surrounding roof deck around your Effingham skylight.
We explain the actual cause before quoting, so you're not paying for the wrong repair.
