Hi all,
When I installed this sliding door, I foolishly put it straight on the slab thinking exterior sealant would be sufficient to keep water out.
Unfortunately it’s not…
Every time it rains heavily I get water creeping underneath it or collecting in the track and then seeping through.
Is there any waterproofing fix you guys can think off, that doesn’t involve taking the door (frame) out, shaving some of the header above it off, adding a sub sill and proper flashing tape underneath the track?
Also, would some concrete crack filler be sufficient to prevent water creeping through the crack in the slab?
Many thanks in advance!
You could try concrete crack filler, but concrete is porous. I would recommend a concrete curb that would help to push the water off to the edges. Water will take the path of least resistance. You just want that to not be into your shed.
