A leaking skylight is a roof penetration gone wrong. M&E Metal Roofing repairs skylight leaks and flashing across Anniston and Calhoun County.
A skylight is a hole in your roof — a wonderful source of light when it's sealed right, and a reliable leak when it isn't. Because a skylight interrupts the roof's shedding surface, water has to be carefully guided around it with proper flashing and seals. When those fail, water finds its way in. M&E Metal Roofing repairs skylight leaks and flashing the right way.
We repair the common skylight problems: failing flashing around the curb, worn or cracked seals and gaskets, and the leaks they cause. Because skylight leaks are really flashing-and-penetration leaks, this is right in a roofer's wheelhouse — we find where the water's getting in and seal it so it stays out.
We're locally owned and operated by Donny Muse and John Elders, serving Anniston and all of Calhoun County. Honest diagnosis and a lasting repair.
The usual reasons a skylight starts letting water in.
The flashing that seals the skylight to the roof is the top leak source — we repair it.
Cracked or aged seals and gaskets let water past the skylight itself. We address them.
Wind and hail can crack or loosen a skylight — we assess and repair the damage.
We help tell a real leak from condensation so the right problem gets fixed.
Skylight leaks almost always get worse, because the cause — failed flashing or seals — only degrades further with each rain. And because the water enters at the roof and can travel along the skylight shaft before it shows up inside, a skylight leak can quietly damage framing and finishes well beyond the glass.
The fix is in the details. A proper repair re-establishes the flashing that guides water around the skylight curb and renews the seals, so the penetration is watertight again. A smear of caulk over the inside of the frame doesn't solve a flashing problem — it just hides it.
We diagnose where the water's actually getting in, repair the real cause, and check the surrounding roofing for any damage the leak has already done.
Every skylight repair is about sealing that roof penetration for good.
Usually failing flashing around the skylight or worn seals and gaskets. A skylight interrupts the roof, so water has to be flashed around it — and when that flashing or the seals fail, water gets in. We find the exact cause and repair it.
Often the flashing, not the skylight itself. We diagnose which it is so the right problem gets fixed — sealing the glass won't help if the flashing is the issue.
Many skylight leaks are a flashing-and-seal repair. If the skylight unit itself is cracked or failed, replacement may be the better route. We'll give you an honest recommendation.
Sometimes — moisture around a skylight can be condensation rather than a true leak, especially in humid conditions. We help tell the difference so you fix the right problem.
Yes — skylight leaks can track along the shaft and damage framing and finishes. We check the surrounding area and let you know if anything else needs attention.
