Pacific Roofing Company | Roofing Services in Forest Grove, OR 97116

In Forest Grove, skylight leaks are often caused by failed sealant or flashing due to constant moisture and temperature changes. Our repair process involves a thorough inspection to identify the exact failure point. We then carefully remove the old sealant, replace any compromised flashing with durable, weather-resistant materials, and re-seal the entire unit to create a watertight barrier that stands up to our local climate.

Some granule loss is normal, but excessive loss, especially on newer roofs, can signal premature aging often accelerated by our wet winters and moss growth common in the Forest Grove area. We recommend an inspection. If significant, it can leave the asphalt layer exposed to UV damage, leading to cracks and leaks. We can assess the extent and discuss options, from targeted treatments to protect remaining shingles to a full replacement if needed.

Given our local weather, we recommend bi-annual gutter cleaning to prevent clogs and ice dams, annual inspections for moss/algae growth (which we can safely remove), and checking sealant around penetrations like skylights and vents before the rainy season. Keeping trees trimmed back also prevents debris buildup and moisture retention. This proactive care is the best defense against the leaks and granule loss we commonly see.
