Skylight Repair: Protect Your Home from Leaks, Drafts & Water Damage

Skylights are a beautiful addition to any home, bringing in natural light, improving ventilation, and creating a brighter living space. However, because skylights are installed directly into your roofing system, they are constantly exposed to harsh weather conditions, including rain, snow, ice, wind, and UV rays. Over time, these elements can cause leaks, condensation, damaged flashing, and other issues that require professional repair.

At Anjco Roofing, we provide expert skylight repair, replacement, and installation services for homeowners throughout the Greater Toronto Area. Whether your skylight has started leaking, developed condensation between the glass panes, or is showing signs of age, our experienced roofing team can identify the problem and recommend the most cost-effective solution.

Ignoring skylight issues can lead to much bigger problems. Water intrusion can damage insulation, drywall, ceilings, and roofing materials while creating the perfect conditions for mold growth. Addressing skylight problems early can save you thousands of dollars in future repairs and help maintain the comfort and value of your home.

Common Causes of Skylight Leaks and Damage

Damaged Flashing

Flashing is one of the most important components of any skylight system. It creates a waterproof seal between the skylight and the roof. When flashing becomes damaged, rusted, or improperly installed, water can find its way into your home.

Improper Installation

Many skylight leaks are caused by poor installation practices. Inadequate sealing, incorrect flashing details, and improper roof integration can all result in recurring leaks and moisture problems.

Failed Seals

Over time, skylight seals can deteriorate due to age and weather exposure. Once these seals fail, moisture can enter the skylight assembly, causing drafts, condensation, and water damage.

Condensation Build-Up

Condensation is common in homes with high humidity levels or poor ventilation. If left untreated, excess moisture can damage skylight frames, drywall, and surrounding building materials.

Ice Dams During Winter

In Ontario’s climate, ice dams can form around poorly insulated skylights. As snow melts and refreezes, water can become trapped and forced beneath roofing materials, leading to leaks and roof damage.

Aging Skylights

Most skylights have a lifespan of 15 to 20 years. Older skylights often develop recurring leaks, cracked seals, and reduced energy efficiency, making replacement a smarter long-term investment.

Signs Your Skylight Needs Repair

• Water stains on ceilings or walls
• Dripping water during rainstorms
• Drafts around the skylight frame
• Condensation between glass panes
• Cracked or damaged glass
• Peeling paint or bubbling drywall
• Mold or mildew near the skylight

If you notice any of these warning signs, scheduling a professional inspection can help prevent more extensive damage to your home.

Repair or Replace: Which Option Is Right for You?

In many cases, skylight problems can be resolved with professional repairs, including flashing replacement, resealing, or glass replacement. However, if your skylight is older, frequently leaking, or no longer energy-efficient, replacement may provide greater long-term value.

At Anjco Roofing, we carefully assess the condition of your skylight and provide honest recommendations based on your home’s needs and budget.
