Q&A
What's the most common cause of a leaking skylight in Cedar City, and how do you fix it?
In our area, the most common cause is failed or deteriorated sealant around the skylight curb or flashing, often worsened by our temperature swings. We fix this by carefully removing the old sealant, inspecting and repairing any underlying wood rot, and applying a new, high-grade, UV-resistant sealant designed for our climate. For severe cases, we may recommend flashing replacement to ensure a watertight seal for years to come.
Why does roof flashing corrode so quickly here, and what's the best replacement material?
Cedar City's high elevation exposes flashing to intense UV radiation, which breaks down traditional materials. Combined with occasional heavy snow and rain, this leads to accelerated corrosion. We typically recommend and install galvanized steel or aluminum flashing with a protective coating. For critical areas like chimneys and valleys, we often use heavier-gauge materials to provide superior durability against our local weather conditions.
