Abarca Roofing Siding & Windows | Roofing Services in Mishawaka, IN 46545

Skylight leaks in our area are frequently caused by failed sealant or improper flashing installation, which can deteriorate under our intense sun, heavy rains, and winter freeze-thaw cycles. At Abarca, we don't just re-caulk; we perform a full diagnostic to identify the root cause. Our repair involves removing the old flashing, installing new ice and water shield around the opening, and integrating a new, properly-sized flashing kit with durable sealants designed for our local climate to create a watertight, long-lasting seal.

Lifted flashing is a common issue here, often caused by high winds, thermal expansion and contraction, or improper installation where nails can work loose over time. While a single lifted piece may not be an immediate emergency, it creates a direct path for water to enter your roof deck and attic, leading to serious damage. We recommend having it addressed promptly. Abarca's repair involves carefully removing the compromised section, replacing any rotted wood beneath, and re-securing new flashing with corrosion-resistant fasteners and high-grade sealant to withstand future storms.

Proactive maintenance is key. We recommend biannual visual inspections (spring and fall) to look for cracked sealant around penetrations, loose or missing shingles, and any visible gaps in flashing. Keeping your gutters clean to prevent ice dams and ensuring attic ventilation is adequate to reduce condensation are also crucial. The best prevention is a professional roof inspection. Abarca offers comprehensive evaluations where we check all critical points, including skylights, flashing, valleys, and chimney bases, identifying potential failures before they become costly leaks, giving you true peace of mind.
