Skylights can be installed without fear of leaks. Skylight installations problems
occur with poor roof flashing installation. Caulking and roof cement are for
emergency repair only – never for permanent installation of skylights. These
installation tips will help you understand proper procedure for leak-free skylight
installation.
A wide majority of roof leaks occur where things stick up through roof. Shingles
in and of themselves rarely leak, except when worn or damaged by wind. Flashing
is usually the first place to look when a leak has developed.
Skylight technology has advanced to the point where the skylight itself is
virtually leak-proof. The only way a leak will develop is where the roof butts
up against the skylight. This, of course, is where you’ll find the flashing!
