Advice on leaky door

[TommyG1987]

Good Evening all,

Please could you provide a little assistance with the below problem:

My rear PVC door lets in water (when it rains or when I fire the hosepipe at it )

We have had this problem for ages, yet as we are getting the floor tiled next week thought I better fix it pronto. I believe now after looking at it properly, the seals may have gone < if you agree could you point me in the direction of a step-by-step guide on replacing.

If you believe otherwise, could you let me know the problem

Thanks in advance
Tom

Image1: From this you can see the water seems to pool in the bottom right on the inside of the door > Normally a lot worse than this, but has only snowed not rained.

Image2: Just with the door open looking at the bottom of the frame, the worrying thing here is that it has drainage holes, so any water leaking in I would of thought would of drained away..

Start with removing that flat pvc trim at the bottom of the door, you need the ribs ( see the side and the top of frame) to help retain the water from flowing back into the house. Once that is done pour some water around the drainage holes and see if its coming out the front at the bottom as i dont see any face drainage and usually under drainage would be use if it was sat on apvc cill!
Let us know how you get on ?

Was just going to say the same, where are the face drain holes? Remove that silly trim, what its covering i'll never know , then tip a cup of water in the threshold, try not to soak the internal concrete because it'll be easier to see if the waters coming in under the door.

The trouble is if it is the drainage holes then drilling face drain holes won't really do a great deal without sealing up the existing holes under the frame.

i would take the d mould off on the outside, seal the frame to the brick and then replace d mould. also check the cill isnt fitted unlevel or drained water could back up. if the cill is fitted on a flat surface ie. not overhanging bwork then this could be the case
