Skylights are a great way to bring in natural light while also brightening your home. However, they may trigger problems that you aren't aware of. Some of the most frequent skylight issues and solutions are listed here. When you need skylight repair or installation for your home or commercial building in Longview, Marshall, and throughout east Texas, give Peak Perfection Contracting a call.
Condensation Problems
Condensation around skylights is a common occurrence in humid climates. Excessive condensation can lead to wall fissures and mold growth, even if a few drips aren't a significant concern. Poor construction is the root of the majority of condensation problems. If you're thinking of installing skylights, use a professional to avoid this issue. Keep adjacent windows and shutters open if you already have skylights to increase air circulation.
Overheating
During the summer, a skylight that is too large or installed in the wrong location may create a greenhouse effect. To allow adequate light in, the area where the skylight will be placed does not need to be huge. A tubular skylight can also assist in keeping the room cool. Make sure the glass is adequately coated to keep strong rays out. As the weather warms up this season, consider purchasing a skylight cover.
Leaks
A skylight leak can be caused by anything from harsh weather to falling leaves. Debris on your skylight could corrode the bolts, making the leak worse. Contact a professional to schedule an inspection and repair at the first sign of a leak or a damaged fastener.
