T.R. Roofing | Roofing Services in Morrow, GA 30260

In our experience, skylight leaks in the Morrow area are most often caused by failed flashing or sealant, which can degrade over time due to sun exposure and temperature swings. We fix this by carefully removing the old, compromised materials, inspecting the surrounding roof deck for water damage, and installing new, high-grade flashing with a waterproof sealant specifically designed to withstand our Georgia weather, ensuring a long-lasting repair.

Some granule loss is normal as a roof ages, but excessive loss, especially concentrated in areas, can be a sign of advanced wear from sun and storm exposure common in our area. It means the protective asphalt layer of your shingles is breaking down, leaving them vulnerable to UV damage and shortening their lifespan. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the extent of the loss and determine if targeted repairs or a full replacement is needed to prevent leaks.

A good first step is to trace the water stain on your ceiling back to its highest point in the attic, if accessible. Leaks from skylights often manifest as water directly around the skylight well or on the ceiling slightly downhill from it. However, water can travel along roof rafters, so the actual entry point might be higher up. For a definitive diagnosis, our team performs a thorough exterior and interior inspection to pinpoint the exact source, whether it's the skylight, surrounding shingles, or another vulnerable spot like a vent pipe.
