Mainely Roofing and Construction | Roofing Services in Lebanon, ME 04027

In our Lebanon climate, the most common cause is failed or degraded flashing seals around the skylight frame, often due to freeze-thaw cycles and weather exposure. We fix this by carefully removing the old sealant and flashing, inspecting the surrounding roof deck for water damage, and installing new, weather-tight flashing integrated with your roofing material to create a permanent seal.

Moisture in roof insulation is often a sign of condensation from poor attic ventilation, which is a common issue in tightly sealed Maine homes. Warm, moist air from your living space rises and condenses on the cold underside of the roof deck. Yes, it's serious—it can reduce insulation effectiveness, promote mold growth, and rot wood framing. We solve this by assessing and improving your attic's ventilation and airflow to keep the space dry.

It depends on the damage. Often, leaks from seal or flashing failure are fully repairable. We'll inspect the skylight unit itself for cracks and the curb it sits on for rot. If the unit is intact and the surrounding structure is sound, a repair is typically the best and most cost-effective solution. We'll only recommend a full skylight replacement if the unit is damaged or the roofing structure is compromised.
