First, try to contain any interior water damage with buckets and towels. Then, contact a professional like Johnson Roofing immediately. In Milwaukee, skylight leaks are often caused by failed seals or flashing due to temperature swings. We'll perform a detailed inspection to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's the skylight itself, the surrounding flashing, or compromised shingles—and provide a targeted, lasting repair to prevent future water intrusion.

Roof flashing separation is common in our area due to Milwaukee's freeze-thaw cycles and high winds, which can cause metal to contract, expand, and pull away from chimneys, vents, or walls. Johnson Roofing repairs this by carefully removing the compromised section, preparing the surface, and installing new, code-compliant flashing sealed with high-grade waterproofing materials. Proper repair is crucial to prevent leaks into your attic and walls, safeguarding your home's structure.

It can be tricky, but there are clues. Water stains directly below a skylight usually point to a sealant or skylight frame issue. Stains on ceilings or walls near a chimney, dormer, or where roof planes meet often indicate flashing failure. The best course of action is to have a professional assessment. Johnson Roofing's experts in Milwaukee can safely trace the leak's path during an inspection to accurately diagnose the source, ensuring the repair addresses the true root of the problem.
