Patio Door Installed Incorrectly -- Need A Fix
As I understand it my patio doors were supposed to be installed on a
step down cut into the slab so it wouldn't leak water into the house. They weren't and I have four of them. Whatever the reason they all leak. This sketch shows one way they leak. This leak doesn't seem to bother the areas if adjacent tile but ruins an area of adjacent carpet. http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/8...odoortrack.gif This picture shows the other way they leak. This leak rots both door jams on all four doors. http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/3...ckp8064414.jpg First, does anyone have a way to fix this without removing the doors? Second, my idea is to seal the place it's coming under the bottom plate (sketch one above) with something that will bond to the aluminum and the cement, is permanent and is impervious to water. What product do you recommend? Then to seal the place where it leaks in picture two with something (I assume the same stuff) that will bond to the aluminum, is permanent and is impervious to water. What product do you recommend? |
