- 3How to fix a leaking skylight after rainWater leaks around a skylight during a windy rainstorm are typically caused by a compromised seal or flashing at the top of the frame. Inspecting the roof helps identify whether the seal has failed or if additional flashing like a cricket is needed to divert water away from the opening.
- 3Should I replace my attic fan when getting a new roof?Since the roof is already being redone, it is much easier to replace an old attic fan whose exact age is unknown. Even if it is not currently leaking, an older unit is worth evaluating so you do not miss the opportunity to swap it out while roofers are already working in that area.
- 2Are my skylights deck mounted or curb mounted?There is a lack of information on whether existing skylights are deck mounted or curb mounted. This leaves people unable to figure out whether to look from the inside of the skylight or up on the roof.
