A sunroom is meant to be a relaxing escape—a bright, open space to enjoy the outdoors from the comfort of your home. But if you’ve noticed water pooling, damp floors, or strange odors, your sunroom might be leaking.
At Sunshine Sunrooms, we help Dallas-Fort Worth homeowners restore and repair their sunrooms so they stay beautiful, safe, and leak-free. Here’s how to spot a problem—and what to do about it.
Common Signs Your Sunroom Has a Leak
A sunroom leak isn’t always dramatic. In fact, many leaks go unnoticed until they cause visible damage. Here are a few warning signs:
- Water stains on the ceiling, walls, or floor
- Musty smells or mildew near the windows or floor
- Soft or warped flooring, especially near corners or the door
- Foggy or condensation-prone windows that indicate a seal issue
- Peeling paint or discolored trim
If you’re seeing any of these, it’s time to investigate.
Where Sunrooms Tend to Leak
Leaks in sunrooms can come from a few key problem areas. In our experience servicing homes throughout DFW, the most common trouble spots are:
1. Roof-to-wall connection
The area where your sunroom connects to your house can be especially vulnerable. If the flashing is worn, improperly installed, or missing altogether, water can seep in during a storm.
2. Windows and door seals
Sunrooms often feature large windows and sliding glass doors. Over time, the rubber seals can crack or come loose, letting in moisture.
3. Roof panels or seams
If your sunroom has a polycarbonate or glass roof, aging seals and seams between panels can let water drip down. With Texas weather, even a small crack can quickly become a bigger problem.
4. Flooring and drainage
Sometimes the leak isn’t from above—it’s from below. Poor drainage or a failing seal at the base of the sunroom can allow water to seep under the floor, especially after heavy rain.
How the Experts at Sunshine Sunrooms Handle Sunroom Repairs
At Sunshine Sunrooms, we take a thorough approach to sunroom leak repairs.
Step 1: Leak Inspection
We start with a complete inspection to identify the source of the leak—not just where the water appears, but where it’s actually coming from. That means checking flashing, seals, drainage, and structure.
Step 2: Repair Plan
Once we’ve diagnosed the issue, we’ll recommend a tailored repair plan. This may involve resealing windows, replacing damaged roof panels, installing new flashing, or reinforcing floor seals.
Step 3: Professional Repairs
Our experienced technicians get to work using materials designed for long-term performance—so you won’t be back in the same spot next season.
Step 4: Prevention Tips
We’ll also walk you through tips to maintain your sunroom and prevent future leaks—because a little maintenance goes a long way in our unpredictable Texas weather.
What to Do If You Suspect a Leak
If you even think your sunroom might be leaking, it’s best not to wait. A slow leak can damage your flooring, baseboards, furniture, and even your home’s foundation over time.
