Dan's Roofing & Siding | Roofing Services in Marion, IL 62959

In our area, skylight leaks are frequently caused by failed sealant around the flashing due to temperature swings and UV exposure. We fix this by carefully removing the old, compromised sealant, inspecting and resecuring the flashing, and applying a high-grade, weather-resistant sealant designed for Southern Illinois climates to create a durable, watertight seal.

Flashing separation often occurs where different roof planes meet, like chimneys or valleys, due to expansion/contraction and storm damage. For Marion homeowners, it's a high-priority repair. Even a small separation can allow significant water intrusion during our heavy rains, leading to costly interior damage. We recommend prompt inspection and repair to prevent further issues.

Given our local experience, we first inspect the most vulnerable areas: flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights, as well as in roof valleys. These spots are prone to the separation and sealant failure we commonly see here. A thorough inspection of these areas often quickly identifies the source, allowing us to provide an accurate, efficient repair plan.
