Rain, rain, go away! If you’re experiencing a sliding door leak, then that old nursery rhyme has probably never been more relevant to you. Sliding door leaks can wreak havoc on your home, causing damage to your floorboards, patio, joists, and other areas too.
Thankfully, there are a few ways to identify the cause of a sliding door leak, and the legends at We Fix Sliding Doors are more than happy to help.
Let’s take a look at the potential causes of sliding door leaks when it’s rainy, and how we can help solve the problem:
Sliding door leak caused by misalignment
If your sliding door isn’t sitting the way it’s meant to, this can create gaps between your door and the track. Through the gaps, rainwater can make its way into your home, causing eventual damage.
You can tell when your door is misaligned if it appears crooked in the closed position, or if it’s difficult to operate.
We Fix Sliding Doors can identify the cause of the leak and set about fixing it. We look at the cause of the misalignment, remove the door and repair whatever it is that needs repairing!
Sliding door leak caused by blocked weep holes
Weep holes – a fitting name for them if they’re blocked, because they can cause leaks which make you, the homeowner, cry! Some sliding doors have weep holes in their track, which drain rainwater away safely. But if your weep holes a blocked with dirt and debris, this causes rainwater to pool up and leak.
We can easily fix this problem by cleaning out your weep holes, and allowing the water to drain away properly.
Sliding door leak caused by damaged seals
If your glass seals have worn away over time, this can cause leaking water over the top of the windowpane on your sliding glass door. Generally, this is caused by eventual weather damage, and most sliding doors need to be resealed over time. Seal damage can also happen if your door was installed improperly.
We Fix Sliding Doors have repaired many glass seals which have led to leaks in the rain. This is a simple task which requires replacing the existing seal with a high-quality new one.
