Almost always a flashing issue, not the skylight itself. The #1 leak cause: the flashing kit wasn't matched to the roofing material (shingle vs. tile vs. metal), or the counter-flashing wasn't properly integrated with the courses of roofing above. We use Velux flashing kits specific to your roof type and install per manufacturer spec.
