A leaking skylight is almost always a flashing or seal problem, not a bad skylight itself — our Skylight Repair crews diagnose it correctly before touching anything.
Most skylight leaks trace back to the flashing around the curb, not the glass or dome itself — a detail general roofers sometimes miss.
We also check the surrounding shingles and decking while we're up there, since a skylight issue sometimes points to a broader roof concern.
Insurance documentation available before work begins on any South Plainfield property.
We stock common flashing and seal materials for same-visit South Plainfield Skylight Repair repairs.
Flashing, seal, and replacement costs are quoted separately, not bundled together.
Moisture meters help confirm whether a leak is active or residual before recommending a fix.
Here's what falls under our South Plainfield Skylight Repair service for skylights.
We re-flash the full perimeter, not just the section that's visibly failing.
Degraded rubber seals let water in around the glass or dome even when flashing is intact.
Fogging or dripping isn't always a leak — condensation from poor ventilation can mimic leak symptoms.
When the skylight unit itself has failed — cracked glass, fogged double-pane seals — we replace it to current code.
Adding a skylight to a South Plainfield home involves structural and flashing considerations beyond just cutting a hole in the roof.
