A skylight, like all windows, is made up of a pane of glass surrounded by a frame (usually metal). Leaks can occur: In between the glass and the frame — This happens from a worn or weathered seal in the skylight itself. In between the frame and the roof — This is a roof problem.
How do you find a leak in a skylight?
Seal up any noticeable holes, joints in the flashing, or open seams. Check the seal where the skylight glass intersects with the frame. If you notice any signs of leaking, seal it up with clear silicone caulk.
How do you stop a skylight from leaking?
Use roofing cement (can or tube) to seal any gaps or holes in the flashing. Apply 100% silicone caulking (tube) to seal leaks around the skylight lens. Replace or repair the metal flashing around the frame of the skylight.
