Skylights in older homes around Old Town and Calder Highlands often leak where the flashing meets the roof deck. Our hot humid subtropical climate with frequent thunderstorms and hurricane risk pushes water under bad seals during heavy rains. Cheap crews skip the butyl tape layer and just slap on caulk that fails in two seasons. We cut out the damaged section, install new step flashing rated for 130 mph winds, and test with a hose before we leave.
How do you spot a skylight leak before it ruins drywall in South Park or West End houses? Brown stains on the ceiling usually show up first after a big Jefferson County storm. The frame gasket dries out from constant humidity and cracks at the corners. We pull the old gasket, fit a new EPDM one, and add extra screws with neoprene washers so it holds through the next hurricane season.
What goes wrong when a contractor skips the permit in Downtown Beaumont? Jefferson code requires a roof permit for any skylight work that touches structural decking. We pull the permit same day, do the fix, and call for inspection. That keeps you out of fines and makes sure the repair matches the wind-load rules for this area.
