Roof lights are a well-known staple of outdoor holiday decorations. These lights were first popularized by the fad of hanging lights around Christmas trees. The trend was first adopted in the United States where–by the mid 20th century–it had become customary to hang the lights not only on Christmas trees but also along buildings and homes. The trend soon spread around the world until it had reached all parts of the world, notably in China and Japan.

When it rains, it has great potential for leaks if not installed correctly. When it comes to your home, any type of leak can be detrimental to your home. Leaking skylights can rot and mold the structure of your home if not caught in time.
