We also check attic ventilation near the skylight opening, since poor airflow often contributes to the condensation issues homeowners mistake for leaks.
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.
Skylight Skylight Repair technicians carry manufacturer-specific training for common brands.
We carry common flashing and seal materials to handle most repairs in one visit.
Flashing, seal, and replacement costs are quoted separately, not bundled together.
Moisture meters help confirm whether a leak is active or residual before recommending a fix.
Here's what falls under our Erie Skylight Repair service for skylights.
Cracked or corroded flashing around the skylight curb is the most common source of Erie skylight leaks.
Degraded rubber seals let water in around the glass or dome even when flashing is intact.
Fogging or dripping isn't always a leak — condensation from poor ventilation can mimic leak symptoms.
When the skylight unit itself has failed — cracked glass, fogged double-pane seals — we replace it to current code.
Adding a skylight to a Erie home involves structural and flashing considerations beyond just cutting a hole in the roof.
We check airflow as part of a full Skylight Repair diagnosis, not just the flashing and seals.
Skylight Skylight Repair visits are usually quick, but we still check the full flashing system before quoting anything.
We check the full flashing system, not just the section that looks obviously damaged.
We explain the actual cause of the issue before quoting any Skylight Repair repair.
The repair area is tested before we consider the Skylight Repair visit complete.
Diagnosed condensation versus an actual leak correctly, saved us an unnecessary repair.
