Sacramento skylight leaks often come from curb flashing or dried sealant. PRC 13 inspects the curb and surrounding roofing before recommending repair.
Helpful Service Pages
Short answer: skylight leak repair in Sacramento focuses on the curb and flashing detail where the unit meets the roof—not just re-caulking the interior frame. PRC 13 inspects uphill roofing and underlayment continuity before quoting work.
Common Skylight Leak Causes
- Dried or cracked sealant at the curb top
- Flashing laps installed in the wrong order
- Clogged weep channels trapping water
- Shingle seal strip failure uphill of the unit
- Underlayment splits from heat aging
Repair Process Overview
Our crew exposes the curb flashing, replaces failed sealant and metal as needed, integrates new underlayment ties, and resets shingles or tile with proper overlap. Interior drywall repair is separate from stopping the roof-side entry point.
