Most skylights are guaranteed to leak during its life span

Velux installation
Velux skylights have a few design flaws. which if not understood can cause issues after installation
Fault in the design of flashing
the real problem with this design is that water travels down the flashing which is set below the roof line and then has to com back up through the roof creating a pocket for leaves and debris to get caught in.
Leaf build up
combine a poor installation with leaves and debris and you have a recipe for disaster.
Installing a custom flashing
The best solution in the case of velux is to create a custom flashing that keeps water on top of the roof at all times. and doesn't make any unnecessary critical cuts to the existing roof.
