Daybreak Roofing | Roofing Services in Round Rock, TX 78681

In our area, the combination of intense sun, temperature swings, and occasional heavy storms can degrade the seals and flashing around skylights faster than on other parts of the roof. A proper repair involves more than just caulk; it requires inspecting the surrounding shingles, the step flashing integrated into the roof deck, and the curb seal to ensure a complete, watertight solution that withstands local conditions.

The primary cause is often undersized or clogged gutters that can't handle our sudden, heavy downpours. Leaves from local live oaks and debris can quickly cause blockages. Fixing it involves a thorough cleaning, assessing the gutter size and pitch for proper flow, and often installing gutter guards. For persistent issues, we may recommend adding downspouts or extending leaders to direct water further from your foundation, which is crucial for our local soil.

In many cases, yes. Most leaks are due to failed flashing or sealants, not the skylight unit itself. Our process starts with a precise leak trace to find the exact entry point. We then repair or replace the specific compromised components, such as the step flashing or counter-flashing, and apply high-grade, UV-resistant sealants. This targeted approach saves you money and preserves your existing skylight, provided the glass and frame are still in good condition.
