First, check the sealant around the skylight's flashing—it often cracks or dries out over time due to our local temperature swings. If you see gaps or brittle material, that's likely the culprit. Don't ignore it; even a small leak can cause significant attic damage. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the flashing and sealant integrity, as improper sealing is a common issue we fix for Tiffin homes.

In Tiffin, flashing separation is often caused by thermal expansion and contraction from seasonal weather changes, or improper initial installation. We repair it by carefully removing the compromised flashing, preparing the roof surface, and installing new, high-quality sheet metal flashing sealed with durable, weather-resistant compounds. This precise work prevents future separation and protects the vulnerable roof joints specific to our area's climate.

In many cases, yes. Most skylight leaks in our area stem from failed flashing or sealant, not the skylight pane itself. Our approach is to first perform a thorough inspection to locate the exact entry point. We then repair or replace the flashing and apply new sealant, often saving you the cost of a full skylight replacement. We'll always advise if the unit itself is damaged and needs replacement.
