A leaking commercial skylight is a high-liability threat to your business. Unlike residential fixtures, commercial, industrial, and strata skylights feature massive surface areas, complex structural aluminum framing, and internal weep-hole drainage tracks. When a commercial skylight fails, it doesn't just damage property—it creates immediate slip-and-fall hazards for employees, ruins expensive inventory, disrupts production lines, and compromises the building envelope's thermal efficiency.
At Roof Leak Repairs, we are the premier commercial skylight repair company trusted by businesses across Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, and the entire Lower Mainland. We specialize in complex architectural glass and acrylic dome repairs, delivering commercial-grade waterproofing solutions that extend your system’s life expectancy while protecting your bottom line.

Commercial and industrial skylights handle intense structural stress. Due to their large sizes, the metal frames expand and contract constantly with fluctuating outdoor temperatures. Our commercial glazing and roofing contractors routinely diagnose and resolve these critical system failures:
- Degraded Glazing Seals & Caps: The heavy-duty industrial gaskets and silicone seals holding the glass or structural acrylic panels inside the framing dry out, crack, and pull away under UV exposure.
- Failed Curb Flashing and Transitions: Water often bypasses the skylight entirely and breaches the roof envelope at the curb joint, where the skylight frame meets the flat roof membrane (TPO, SBS Torch-On, or EPDM).
- Blocked Internal Weep Holes: Commercial skylights are designed with internal channels to catch condensation and drain it safely to the exterior. If these channels clog with dirt, moss, or debris, water backs up and leaks straight down into your facility.
- Fastener Fatigue & Backouts: Structural fasteners can back out or lose their sealing washers due to structural vibrations from HVAC units or wind loads, allowing water to track down the threads.
Our Commercial Skylight Repair & Waterproofing Services
Architectural Glass & Acrylic Dome Resealing We provide comprehensive restoration services for structural glass ridges, continuous barrel vaults, pyramid skylights, and heavy-duty industrial acrylic dome configurations. Our team completely strips out failed retail sealants and installs high-movement, commercial-grade polyurethane and silicone polymers that flex naturally with thermal expansion.
Flat Roof Curb Flashing Restoration If the leak originates at the base of the unit, our commercial roofing division handles complete curb rehabilitation. We reinforce the interface between your flat roof membrane and the skylight frame, ensuring a seamless, monolithic waterproof barrier that satisfies commercial structural inspections.
Condensation Channel Clearing & Gasket Replacement We don't just patch glass edges. We deeply clean internal weep-hole systems, replace compressed or dry-rotted structural gaskets, and realign heavy exterior pressure plates to ensure your daylighting system drains water away exactly as its manufacturer intended.
