Maintenance Tips for Skylights on Metal Roofs

Proper maintenance is essential to keep your skylight for metal roof functioning well. Here are key care tips we recommend.

Inspect Flashing and Seals Regularly

Regular inspection of flashing and seals around skylights helps prevent leaks and water intrusion. On metal roofs, temperature fluctuations can cause materials to shift or deteriorate over time. Look for cracks, gaps, or lifting around the skylight frame and flashing. Early detection of seal issues helps maintain structural integrity and energy efficiency.

Keep Skylights and Surrounding Areas Clear

Leaves, branches, and debris can collect around skylights, blocking proper drainage. Clearing the area ensures water flows away from the skylight and reduces the risk of rust or pooling. Clean skylight glass also improves light transmission and overall performance. Routine cleaning maintains both appearance and function.

Monitor for Condensation and Moisture Buildup

Condensation inside the skylight or around the frame may indicate poor ventilation or failing seals. Watch for moisture, mold, or staining that could signal underlying issues. Addressing condensation early prevents long-term damage to both the skylight and roof structure. Proper ventilation and sealing help reduce the risk of moisture-related problems.
