While skylights are designed to be durable and long-lasting, they can develop a variety of problems due to wear and tear, weather conditions, or improper installation. Some common skylight issues include:
- Leaks: One of the most frequent issues with skylights is leaking, often caused by damaged seals, cracks in the glass, or improper flashing around the skylight. If left unchecked, leaks can lead to water damage in your home, including mold growth and structural problems.
- Cracked or Broken Glass: Skylights are made of tough glass or polycarbonate, but they can still crack or break due to severe weather, falling debris, or accidental impact. Cracked skylights not only look unsightly but can also compromise the weatherproofing of your roof.
- Condensation and Moisture Build-up: Poor insulation or improper installation can lead to condensation forming on your skylight, especially during the colder months. This moisture can cause water damage to your interior and promote mold growth.
- Drafts: If you notice drafts around your skylight, it may indicate that the seals are worn or that the skylight was improperly installed. This can affect the energy efficiency of your home, leading to increased heating or cooling costs.
