Hi folks,

I have a uPVC door that faces West, towards the prevailing wind. Whenever I get lots of rain and wind, the door starts to leak into the house, through the bottom of the panel seals, as per the photo.

I've felt along the bottom of the door and can't feel any drain holes - should there be some? My assumption is that the external rubber panel seals have failed and are letting water into the carcass of the door, which then rises until it can seep out of the bottom of the seals.

Before I call the company that built and installed the doors.... am I missing something?

Thanks
J

Hopefully not your problem, but I'm sure on here, there is a chaps door that has been fitted the wrong way round, and draining internally.

As Loofah said, take some more pics showing whole frame etc.
