Skylight Repair in Miami, FL
A skylight leak can turn from a small nuisance into ceiling stains, mold, and interior damage, especially in Miami's rainy, humid climate. Most skylight problems are caused by failed flashing, worn seals, or poor installation, not just the skylight unit itself. Orian Roofing & Construction provides professional skylight repair and replacement, focusing on stopping leaks, rebuilding flashing, and re-sealing critical areas so your skylight can stay, but the water stays out. If you've noticed water around your skylight, damp drywall, or fogging between glass panes, it's time to have it inspected.
Common Skylight Problems We Repair
- Skylight leaks during heavy rain
- Water stains on the ceiling near a skylight
- Dripping or moisture along skylight edges
- Cracked or damaged skylight glass
- Worn-out seals or gaskets
- Condensation and fog between glass panes
- Rusted, damaged, or improperly installed flashing
- Leaks on tile, shingle, or flat roofs around skylights
What Causes Skylight Leaks in Miami?
Most skylight leaks are due to roofing and waterproofing issues, such as:
- Incorrectly installed flashing
- Missing or damaged underlayment
- Sealant that has cracked or deteriorated under intense UV rays
- Poor integration with tile, shingles, or flat roofing membranes
- Clogged drainage on low-slope or flat roofs
- Movement or settling in the roof structure over time
We diagnose whether the problem is the skylight itself or the surrounding roof system, then recommend the right repair.
Our Skylight Repair Process
We follow a structured 5-step repair workflow to identify leak paths and stabilize moisture:
1. Skylight & Roof Inspection
We inspect the skylight frame, glass, and seals, evaluate the flashing/roofing integration around the skylight, check interior ceilings/attics for moisture, and identify all leak paths.
2. Leak Source Identification
We determine if the leak is from a failure in skylight glass/frame, flashing/underlayment breakdown, shingle/tile/membrane problems, or interior condensation. Then we present clear repair options.
3. Flashing Rebuild & Repair
Repairs may include: removing nearby tiles, shingles, or membrane; rebuilding the metal flashing system; replacing damaged underlayment; and sealing corners and joints.
4. Seal & Weatherproofing Upgrades
We apply high-grade, UV-resistant commercial polyurethane sealants and compatible waterproofing products engineered to handle South Florida’s blistering heat and torrential downpours.
5. Skylight Replacement (When Needed)
If the glass is cracked, heavily fogged, or frame corroded/outdated, replacement is more reliable. When replacement is recommended, we install a new, wind-rated, Miami-ready skylight.
Skylight Repairs for Pitched & Flat Systems
Skylight waterproofing methods vary based on your roof slope and material:
Skylight Repair on Flat Roofs
Flat roof skylights are more vulnerable to leaks if drainage and flashing are not designed correctly. We repair or rebuild skylight curbs, fix TPO or Modified Bitumen membranes around skylights, address ponding water, and reseal seams.
Skylight Repair on Tile & Shingle Roofs
Leaks around skylights on pitched roofs often come from improperly lapped or failing materials. We carefully lift and reset surrounding tiles or shingles, replace the metal flashing pan, and replace underlayment in affected areas.
Storm Damage Skylight Repair
After strong storms, skylights can suffer impact damage from branches or debris, cracked glass, loosened or compromised flashing, and new leaks from wind-driven rain. We provide storm damage inspections, temporary waterproofing, and permanent skylight and roof repairs.
