Reyes Roofing | Roofing Services in Virginia Beach, VA 23453

In Virginia Beach, skylight leaks are often caused by failed sealant from UV exposure, storm damage, or improper installation allowing wind-driven rain to penetrate. Our fix involves a thorough inspection to identify the exact failure point, which is often the flashing or the seal around the glass. We then carefully remove old sealant, repair or replace any compromised flashing, and apply new, high-grade urethane sealants designed to withstand our local humidity and temperature swings, ensuring a watertight seal for years.

Flashing separation is common here due to thermal expansion and contraction from our varying temperatures, combined with high winds that can loosen materials over time. At Reyes Roofing, our repair process starts by removing the separated flashing to inspect the underlying deck. We then clean and prepare the area, install new, corrosion-resistant flashing (like aluminum or galvanized steel), and secure it with proper fasteners and sealants. We pay special attention to integrating the new flashing with existing shingles to prevent future wind uplift and water intrusion.

Address it immediately. Even a small leak from a skylight or separated flashing can lead to significant hidden damage in our humid climate, including mold growth, wood rot in your attic, and ceiling stains. We recommend calling for an inspection at the first sign of water spots or moisture. Prompt repair prevents minor issues from becoming major, costly structural problems and helps maintain your roof's integrity against our next coastal storm.
