Skylight repair
We can diagnose any problem with your skylights and come up with the solution in minutes.
Whether you need to replace your acrylic domes, redo your flashing, or change out your skylight entirely, we’ll always give you an honest assessment. We will NEVER try to sell you anything you don’t need. So if you have a leak caused by a roofing issue, for example, we won’t tell you that you need a brand-new skylight, just so we can make a quick extra buck.
5 Potential Causes of Water Infiltration at or around a Skylight
A crack in the skylight glazing is one way that water can enter.
It’s normal for rain to get in between the acrylic dome of a skylight and the perimeter frame. Typically, there is a gutter to collect this water; weep holes then allow for it to drain out harmlessly onto the roof. If the weep holes are covered or clogged, the water may back up and overflow the gutter, resulting in a leak inside the skylight shaft.
Although not generally a problem in our dry climate, high-humidity areas such as bathrooms sometimes give rise to excess condensation which can drip down from a skylight lens, making it appear as though the skylight is leaking.
Often the skylight itself is functioning properly but there’s a problem with its integration into the roof system — perhaps a poor seal or a gap in the flashing.
A roof problem upslope from the skylight may be the cause of the leak: water gets under the roofing, runs into the skylight shaft, and travels down into the room below.
3 Reasons You May Want to Upgrade Your Skylight
Skylights older than five years are a threat to leak because of deterioration caused by years of exposure to our intense desert heat.
By replacing your acrylic dome skylight with a VELUX Low E/Argon Gas-filled unit, you’re not only prolonging the life of your skylight, you’re SAVING ENERGY. And all VELUX skylights qualify for an Arizona energy tax credit which means that 25% of the total cost of the job is refunded to you. So the price for upgrading to VELUX is often no more expensive than simply changing out acrylic domes.
Choosing VELUX means you have the ability to incorporate one of their state-of-the-art shading devices into your new skylight. This gives you total control over the light and heat entering your home. VELUX shades come in a wide variety of colors and are available manually operable, electric, or solar battery powered. Some qualify for state and federal energy tax credits!
