Rutherford Roofing | Roofing Services in Geneseo, IL 61254

In our experience in Geneseo, the most frequent cause is a breakdown of the skylight's flashing seals due to temperature fluctuations and weather exposure. Over time, the sealant can crack or the metal flashing can pull away, allowing water to seep in. We perform a thorough inspection to pinpoint the exact failure point—whether it's the flashing, the curb, or the skylight itself—and provide a targeted, lasting repair.

Flashing separation often occurs at critical joints, like where a chimney or vent meets the roof, due to wind uplift, thermal expansion/contraction, or improper initial installation. Our repair process involves carefully removing the compromised section, inspecting the underlying decking for water damage, and installing new, code-compliant flashing that's properly integrated with your existing shingles. We use high-quality sealants and techniques suited for our local climate to ensure a watertight seal.

Absolutely. Pinpointing a leak's origin can be tricky, as water often travels before it becomes visible inside. We start with a comprehensive interior and exterior inspection, checking common trouble spots like valleys, flashing, and around penetrations. Using our local knowledge of common Geneseo roofing issues, we systematically trace the leak to its source. We then provide a clear explanation and a prioritized repair plan to stop the water intrusion and prevent further damage to your home.
