Questions and Answers
What causes roof skylight leaks in Louisville homes, and how do you fix them?
In our area, skylight leaks are often caused by failed flashing seals or cracked glazing due to temperature swings and storm exposure. At Al-Thom Construction, we start with a detailed inspection to pinpoint the issue. Our repair involves carefully removing the old sealant, replacing any damaged flashing with corrosion-resistant materials, and applying a new, weather-tight seal specifically designed for our local climate to prevent future leaks.
I'm seeing granules in my gutters. Is this a serious problem for my roof in Louisville?
Granule loss is a common sign of aging or storm-damaged asphalt shingles here in Southern Illinois. While some loss is normal over time, excessive granule loss exposes the asphalt mat to UV rays, leading to faster deterioration and potential leaks. We recommend a professional evaluation. Al-Thom Construction can assess the extent of the damage and advise on targeted repairs or, if needed, a roof replacement with high-quality shingles that offer better granule adhesion for long-term durability.
As a general contractor, can you handle both the roofing leak and any interior damage it caused?
Absolutely. As a full-service general contractor, Al-Thom Construction provides a seamless solution. We first repair the roof leak at its source to stop further water intrusion. Then, our team can expertly address any resulting interior damage, such as stained ceilings, damaged drywall, or compromised flooring. This coordinated approach saves you time and ensures the entire project—from the roof down—is completed to the highest standard, restoring your home's integrity inside and out.
