Ron the Roofer | Roofing Services in Lavonia, GA 30553

In our Lavonia climate, the most frequent cause is failed or dried-out flashing seals around the skylight frame. Over time, temperature swings and sun exposure can crack these seals, allowing water to seep in. We fix this by carefully removing the old flashing, inspecting the underlying structure for any rot, and installing new, weather-resistant flashing with proper sealants to create a watertight barrier that will last for years.

Flashing separation often occurs due to improper installation, thermal expansion and contraction, or storm damage. Here in Georgia, where we get heavy rains, it's a repair we consider urgent. Even a small separation can channel significant water behind your shingles and into your attic or walls, leading to mold and structural damage. We recommend addressing it promptly to prevent costly interior repairs.

First, safely check your attic for any signs of water stains, damp insulation, or daylight coming through the roof deck. Outside, look for visible damage like missing shingles or bent flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys. However, the entry point isn't always directly above an interior leak. If you're unsure, it's best to call us for a professional inspection. We'll trace the leak to its source and provide a clear plan for repair.
