How Do You Repair A Leaking Skylight In A Mobile Home?
You need to diagnose and repair a leaking skylight immediately to prevent costly water damage. This is a project most do-it-yourselfers can handle. You can find the materials you’ll need to repair a skylight at any local home improvement center. Step 1 Use a stiff bristled brush and scrub away any dust, debris or broken sealant from the edges of the leaking skylight. Step 2 Check the shingles around the leaking skylight and replace any damaged shingles you find. Step 3 Choose a quality sealant from your local home improvement center to reseal your leaking skylight. Use a silicone sealer or a urethane roofing cement to seal the edges of the skylight. Step 4 Secure the edges of your roofing flange, which is the rim around the edge of your skylight that secures it to the roof. Fill in any gaps and create a seal with roofing cement. The roofing cement stops water from getting under the flange and into the skylight’s interior surfaces.
