Default Re: Leaking roof

Sometimes roof leaks can be a real pain to locate. But skylights are notorious for leaking. I would go up on the roof and check the sealant around your skylight.
Look for any loose sealant, cracks in the sealant and possible cracks in the skylight itself.
Also check the sealant around any vents.

I do this on a yearly basis and usually I clean the sealant, then add any that looks questionable to reseal.

A few years ago, Gulfsteam service techs removed all the sealant around my skylight over the shower and put all new sealant to seal the skylight that I had a leak in. We were at a
Back Home Rally that was held by the GulfStreamers where the Gulfstream Company had their service techs do service for the attendees of the rally.

Good luck, But roof leaks can be found and sealed with patience and careful examination by the owner.
