Finally, A UV-Protected Boot That Will Eliminate Any Chance of a Roof Leak

A Double Barrel Solution to Fix or Avoid Leaky Skylights

For whatever the reason, we know skylights have a bad reputation for water leaks. In some cases chronic, leaky situations persist. The two main causes of leaking skylights are prevailing winds and low pitched roofs, combined with heavy rains. Leak-testing a newly installed or repaired skylight flashing by applying water with a hose is a good idea, BUT...a driving wind shooting up the roof could still cause major leak problems during a storm. High winds shooting up any roof grade, but especially one that is low-pitched, can cause heavy water pooling on the uphill side much worse than one might expect. It can easily be enough to cause hair pulling skylight leak problems!

Also, there is no shortage of horror stories concerning skylight leak repair and the removal of previous applications of gooey snow and ice shield, tar, and other messy products. Many times the removal of this previously used material could take over an hour. In the past, skylight leak repair was for “an old-school” experienced roofer because skylight flashing is an art as much as a rare skill.

Well, hold onto your nail-guns because there is a new sheriff in town called SKYLIGHTBOOT! The Skylight Boot puts skylight leaks away without parole!
