Apex Roofing Systems | Roofing Services in Frankfort, KY 40601

In Frankfort, skylight leaks are most often caused by a breakdown of the flashing—the metal seal that connects the skylight to your roof shingles. Over time, Kentucky's freeze-thaw cycles and intense sun can cause the flashing material to crack or the sealant to dry out and shrink, creating gaps. Our process involves a careful inspection of the entire flashing perimeter, replacing any compromised sections, and applying a new, high-grade sealant designed for our local weather to provide a lasting fix.

If your chimney leaks during heavy rain, it's a classic sign of failing counter-flashing or step flashing. This intricate metalwork is designed to channel water away from the chimney's brickwork and down the roof slope. In older Frankfort homes, this metal can rust, become loose, or the mortar seal (where the flashing meets the brick) can deteriorate. We meticulously inspect, repair, or replace this critical flashing system, ensuring it's properly integrated with your shingles and sealed against our region's downpours to prevent water intrusion into your attic or walls.

Absolutely. In many cases, a full skylight replacement isn't necessary. The issue is typically with the installation seal or perimeter flashing, not the glass unit itself. Our Frankfort-based team will assess the situation to determine the source. We often resolve leaks by carefully removing the surrounding shingles, installing new, corrosion-resistant flashing tailored to your roof's pitch, and applying premium sealants. This targeted repair addresses the leak at its source, saving you the cost of a full skylight replacement while restoring a watertight seal.
