🔍 Top 3 Reasons Your Coquitlam Skylight Requires Maintenance Determining the exact root cause of a roof window failure requires experienced technical inspection. When a unit begins to fail, it typically stems from one of three primary structural issues:

1. Active Water Leaks & Stains A skylight can leak for several critical reasons, including cracked glazing panels, broken outer acrylic layers, or degraded wood curbs. Most frequently, however, water entry points stem from an improperly installed or weathered metal flashing system, or a dry-rotted rubber perimeter gasket. Left unaddressed, even minor water tracking can cause extensive rot throughout your structural rafters, destroy drywall finishes, and breed hidden mold spores.

2. Drafts, Airflow Gaps, & Energy Loss If you notice drafts, cold air, or dust blowing into your living spaces, your skylight frame is no longer secured down tight enough against the roof curb. This happens because the commercial-grade gasket system between the frame and the curb has failed or warped over time. Our skylight repair technicians strip away failed seals, lay down fresh, high-density gaskets, and securely fasten the assembly to completely restore your property's energy efficiency.

3. Broken Glass or Acrylic Dome Cracks It is common for old units to develop cracks from impact damage due to falling tree branches, heavy valley hail, or intense UV degradation. While a single failed glass pane can occasionally be replaced and resealed, old acrylic dome systems cannot be patched reliably because the plastic turns brittle over a 10-to-15-year span. In these situations, we recommend a seamless, code-compliant skylight replacement to secure your home.
