Default Pool Solar Leak

I have a solar tube on the roof that is leaking. I am looking for company or a handyman that can go on the roof and plug the leak. I have the plugs.
Thanks, Bob

Our pool was installed by T&D. As a result, the solar panels have a 10 year warranty. We've had two panels replaced, and one leak fixed in the last three years. Zero cost to us. I only mention this in case you're not aware of a warranty.

Try Jack's solar (I think that is the correct name) if you do not get anyone to repair, I no longer do anything on roofs, gravity always wins....

My advice is to hire a professional, who is also insured, to make this repair. Avoid a Helpful Harry or a handyman who is not insured. A spill off of your roof could result in a huge headache for you.

if you think a professional is expensive, just hire an amateur...

Rick Looney, DBA - Brighter Ideas Solar Solutions. But check the warranty first.

Thanks for all the replies. My daughter knows a plumber that looked at it. It was the vacuum breaker that was leaking. Got one on order.
Thanks again, Bob
