Signs Your Skylight Needs Maintenance or Repairs

While skylights bring wonderful natural light into your home, they are also an opening in your roof that can develop problems over time. Putting off dealing with potential skylight issues, even seemingly minor ones, carries significant risks. A small crack or a failing seal can quickly lead to costly leaks that cause water damage to your ceilings, walls, and insulation. Ignoring signs of trouble can also compromise your home's energy efficiency, leading to higher utility bills, and can even contribute to unhealthy mold growth. Prompt action helps protect your home's interior.

Your skylight may need professional maintenance or repairs if you spot any of the following issues:

• Leaks or water stains. Any obvious leaks or water stains typically indicate compromised flashing, sealant failure, or a crack in the glass. We can look for any visible drips, pooling water around the skylight's frame, or water stains on the ceiling or walls directly below or around the skylight. 
• Condensation between panes. If you see condensation or a foggy appearance between the glass panes of your skylight that you cannot wipe away, you are likely dealing with a failed seal in the insulated glass unit. This means the skylight is no longer providing proper insulation, leading to energy loss. In these scenarios, we generally recommend replacing the skylight.
• Cracks or chips in the glass or dome. Visible cracks, chips, or fractures on the glass or acrylic dome of your skylight are clear signs of damage, often from hail, falling debris, or stress. These compromise the skylight's integrity and can lead to leaks or potential shattering. We can assess the severity and replace the damaged pane or unit.
• Drafts or noticeable temperature changes. If you feel a draft around your skylight or notice that the room beneath it feels unusually cold in winter or hot in summer, the seals around the frame or glass are likely failing, or there may be degraded insulation within the unit itself. We can inspect for air leaks and recommend sealing or replacement.
• Discoloration or fading on interior surfaces. Persistent exposure to direct sunlight can cause flooring, furniture, or paint directly beneath the skylight to fade or discolor. While some fading is natural, excessive or rapid discoloration might mean the skylight's UV protective coating is failing and allowing too much harmful sunlight through. We can assess the glass's condition.
• Operation issues (for venting skylights). If your venting skylight sticks, grinds, or simply won't open or close smoothly (either manually or with a remote), its operating mechanism, motor, or hinges need attention. We can inspect and repair or replace faulty components to restore proper operation and ventilation.

What Does Skylight Maintenance Involve?

Regular skylight maintenance is incredibly important because it extends the lifespan of your skylights, preserves their energy efficiency, and most importantly, helps prevent leaks. Small issues like compromised seals or minor flashing separation, if left unaddressed, can quickly become significant leaks that cause water damage to your ceiling, walls, and insulation. By addressing these minor vulnerabilities early, we can help you avoid expensive interior repairs and maintain your home's comfort and value.

We generally recommend scheduling professional roof maintenance at least once a year, or ideally, twice a year, especially given Florida’s frequent harsh weather. Biannual inspections and maintenance are especially important for skylights if you have trees overhanging your roof. 

When servicing your skylight, our team at Titan Roofing typically starts by carefully cleaning the exterior glass or dome and removing any accumulated dirt, leaves, or debris that could obstruct light and trap moisture. We then carefully inspect the flashing around the skylight's perimeter, looking for any signs of cracking, rust, or sealant deterioration that could lead to leaks. 

Our roofers also check the condition of the glass itself for any chips, cracks, or signs of seal failure between panes, which can compromise insulation. For venting skylights, we can lubricate moving parts and test the opening and closing mechanisms to confirm smooth operation.
