Skylights increases the value to a home, it permits direct sunlight to enter the home. But some times these skylights generate confusion. There might be condensation or a skylight leak if water gathers in and around the skylight. Your job is to find out where from the water is coming.

There can be many reasons for a leaky skylight but the most common factor is the improperly installed skylight. This may be because having a skylight fitted by professional roofers will bring a big hole in your pocket, hence people turn towards a handyman, or try to fix it on their own.

The improper fixing of an existing leaky skylight can make things worse if without the proper knowledge of construction of skylight fitting and the roof surrounding it can lead to dangerous results.

A person does not know what he/she is talking about when he/she says that moss does not affect the roof. In fact moss is a live thing and to need to grow it needs to eat like all living organisms do.

Removing the moss is a very simple process that you can do yourself with a few simple tools and a good moss cleaning product.

Do not use to clean the moss from your roof with bleach or chlorine based products. These will kill moss but also damage your home. Those products are not designed to stick to pitched roofs; they clean unevenly and usually leave stains on the roof shingles or tile.

Apart from roof staining, these chlorine based products have strong chemicals with them that strongly dry out your roofing items, in turn creates cracks and makes your roofing items open to the wind damage. Such kinds of poisonous products may cause any plant, shrub and section of lawn running of the roof to die.
