WHEN TO KNOW YOUR SKYLIGHT NEEDS REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT
Some of the most amazing buildings and malls that we visit showcase the best use of a skylight. It is truly the most innovative way to let nature's light in and create a whole different vibe. A skylight provides ample space in the day and a starry view of the night sky. Research has shown that natural lights are proven to have improved productivity among individuals. Every feature in the house needs a lot more than DIY-in the project and the Local Handyman knows just what is perfect. We bring A1 service to the table and will help you with all the problems related to the skylights. From installation to the completely set skylight. We know it all. If you get your skylight changed and maintained frequently then you might not have much of a problem with it but if your skylight is from the previous era. That is a telltale to get it changed. We have a few things to keep a lookout for when you have a skylight in your home. This helps in keeping them in perfect condition. Whenever you see any of the following signs, just pick up the phone and call us. We will make sure to solve any and every problem.
Discoloration Around the Edges or the Ceiling
This is the most common sign that the skylight has worn out. This is the most visible sign that you need to get your skylight checked. Heavy discoloration around the edges or spreading stains on the ceiling can mean a lot of things. It can be due to rusting of the edges or even worse mold. Discoloration often means that there is a slight leak that is shifting towards the outer corners and needs to be checked. The best thing that you can do is to have your skylight checked before it becomes a bigger matter of concern.
Visible Cracks
There are no two ways about it. When you see cracks in your skylight, call us right away. Cracks are not only dangerous but also affect the whole efficiency of it. The next storm or rooftop can cause harm to it and cause it to completely collapse. Do not take the risk and delay it. Get it changed as there is no better sign than this.
Whistling Sounds
We all love a breeze of fresh air but now when it is coming from the skylight. If you hear a whistling sound, there is a high chance that the skylight has become very old and there is a gap between the pane and skylight causing the wind to enter. Now remember if the air can pass through, so can water. So get the skylight changed now to avoid water dripping from it when the next thunderstorm hits.
Moisture On the Skylight
If the skylight has lost its complete seal, then there is a high chance that water might seep through and cause problems.
All these signs point in only one direction - local handyman.
