Leaking Skylight Repair
A leaking skylight can cause water stains, drywall damage, ceiling damage, and hidden roof issues if it is not repaired correctly. Many skylight leaks are not caused by the skylight glass itself, but by problems around the skylight, including flashing, roof penetrations, worn sealants, cracked roofing material, or poor drainage. Durafoam Roofing provides skylight repair and roof leak inspection to find the source of the problem and recommend the right repair.
Skylight Flashing & Roof Repair
The area around a skylight is one of the most common places for roof leaks to develop. If the flashing is damaged, poorly sealed, lifted, cracked, or surrounded by aging roofing material, water can work its way into the home. Our team inspects the skylight, flashing, surrounding roof surface, roof transitions, and drainage areas to determine whether the issue can be repaired or whether replacement should be considered.
Skylight Repairs for Foam, Tile & Shingle Roofs
Skylight leaks can happen on almost any roof system, but the repair approach depends on the roof type. On foam roofs, the surrounding coating, foam surface, and transitions must be checked carefully. On tile roofs, cracked tiles, slipped tiles, underlayment issues, and flashing problems may be involved. On shingle roofs, damaged shingles, poor sealing, or worn materials around the skylight can allow water in. Durafoam Roofing repairs skylight-related roof issues on foam, tile, shingle, and flat roof systems throughout the Phoenix Valley.
Why DIY Skylight Sealant Usually Fails
It can be tempting to climb up and add tar, caulking, or sealant around a leaking skylight. The problem is that skylight leaks are often more complicated than they look. If the wrong material is used, or if the real leak source is missed, water can continue entering the home while the roof becomes harder to repair later. A proper skylight repair starts with finding the source of the leak, inspecting the surrounding roof system, and using the right repair method for that roof type.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roofing in Scottsdale
Why is my skylight leaking?
A skylight may leak because of damaged flashing, cracked roofing material, worn sealant, poor installation, drainage issues, roof movement, storm damage, or aging materials around the skylight. The water stain may show near the skylight, but the actual leak source can still be several inches or feet away.
Can a leaking skylight be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?
Many skylight leaks can be repaired, especially when the problem is related to flashing, surrounding roof material, sealant failure, or roof transitions. If the skylight itself is cracked, badly aged, or failing, replacement may be the better option. Durafoam Roofing can inspect the issue and explain your options.
Do you repair skylights on foam roofs?
Yes. Durafoam Roofing repairs skylight-related leaks and roof issues on foam roofs, including worn coatings, cracked foam areas, roof transitions, drainage issues, and flashing concerns around skylights.
Do you repair skylights on tile roofs?
Yes. Tile roof skylight leaks may involve cracked tiles, slipped tiles, damaged flashing, or aging underlayment around the skylight area. We inspect the surrounding roof system to determine the best repair.
Should I try to seal a leaking skylight myself?
It is usually better to have the skylight and roof area inspected by a roofing professional. Adding tar or sealant may temporarily slow the leak, but it can also hide the real problem or make the repair more difficult if the wrong material is used.
