First, contain the interior damage by placing a bucket under the leak and moving any valuables. Then, contact a local professional like Potratz Roofing & Construction for an urgent inspection. In our Wisconsin climate, spring snowmelt often reveals compromised shingles, ice dam damage, or clogged gutters from winter. We'll quickly identify the source—often around flashing, valleys, or eaves—and provide a clear repair plan to prevent further water damage to your home's structure and interior.

Skylight leaks in Fond du Lac are commonly caused by failed sealant around the flashing, which expands and contracts with our temperature swings, or by improper original installation. A permanent fix isn't just about re-caulking; it requires a thorough inspection of the flashing integration with your roof. Our team assesses the entire skylight assembly, often replacing the flashing system and ensuring it's properly sealed and waterproofed to withstand Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles, stopping the leak for good.

The best preparation is a professional pre-winter inspection. We recommend scheduling one in the late fall. We'll check for loose or damaged shingles, ensure all flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights is secure, clean your gutters to prevent ice dams, and verify attic ventilation is adequate. Addressing these small issues proactively with a local roofer who knows our climate can prevent major leaks and costly repairs come spring thaw.
