Question Answers
What's the most common cause of skylight leaks in Ottumwa homes?
In our experience, the most frequent cause is failed or deteriorated sealant around the skylight frame. Iowa's freeze-thaw cycles and intense sun can break down these seals over time. A proper repair involves removing the old material, cleaning the area thoroughly, and applying a new, high-grade sealant designed for our climate to create a lasting, watertight barrier.
Why does roof flashing corrode so quickly here, and how do you fix it?
Ottumwa's humidity and exposure to weather elements can accelerate corrosion on standard metal flashing, especially at valleys and chimneys. We address this by inspecting all flashing for weakness, removing corroded sections, and replacing them with more durable, corrosion-resistant materials like aluminum or coated steel. Proper installation is key to ensuring water is effectively diverted away from vulnerable roof joints.
Can you fix a leaky skylight or bad flashing without replacing my entire roof?
Absolutely. In many cases, targeted repairs are all that's needed. We perform a detailed inspection to confirm the damage is localized. Our focus is on providing the most effective and economical solution for you. If repairs are sufficient, we'll fix the specific issue—like resealing a skylight or replacing a section of flashing—to restore your roof's integrity without unnecessary cost.
