Signs of hidden rot from a skylight leak can include a persistent musty smell in your attic, soft or spongy spots on your roof deck you can feel from inside, or visible water stains that spread beyond the immediate leak area. Since rot compromises your roof's structural integrity, we recommend a professional inspection. At H & M Roofing, we perform thorough assessments to identify the full extent of water damage and provide a clear plan for repair.

For a lasting fix in Bardstown's climate, a simple re-caulking often isn't enough. The most effective repair typically involves removing the skylight, inspecting and repairing any damaged roof decking, replacing the flashing with a proper step-flashing system integrated with your shingles, and then reinstalling or replacing the skylight unit itself with a new, watertight seal. We ensure the entire assembly is weatherproofed to handle our seasonal rain and temperature swings.

Roof deck rot weakens the foundational layer that supports your entire roofing system. Left unchecked, it can lead to sagging rooflines, compromised insulation, and even potential ceiling collapse. In our area, moisture from leaks can accelerate this rot. Prompt repair not only protects your home's safety and value but also prevents more extensive, costly damage to your attic structure, interior drywall, and belongings.
