Water Dripping from Old Skylight on Your Commercial Flat Roof in Chicago?

A leaky skylight on your Chicago commercial flat roof isn't just an annoying drip; it's a direct threat to your building's interior, inventory, and energy efficiency. Old skylights, especially those that have endured years of Chicago's harsh weather, are prime candidates for failure. Their seals can degrade, flashing can crack, and frames can warp, all leading to significant water intrusion.

Persistent leaks from an old skylight can cause:

Extensive Interior Damage: Stained ceilings, damaged drywall, ruined products, and compromised electrical systems within your commercial space.

Reduced Energy Efficiency: Compromised seals allow conditioned air to escape and outside air to enter, increasing your heating and cooling costs.

Mold and Mildew Growth: Constant moisture creates an ideal environment for unhealthy mold and mildew, potentially impacting indoor air quality.

Structural Deterioration: Water seeping into the roof deck and surrounding structure can lead to rot and weakened integrity over time.
