Hi,
Can anyone help me with a problem I am having with my front door? Last week in the heavy rain, I woke up to find my vestibule flooded. I added new sealant on the outside where the frame meets the plastic trim on the step. I thought that would help. I was wrong. The inside of the frame was full of water. There are two drainage slits in the bottom of the frame but I can't see any way for the water to exit on the outside. Should I drill holes in the frame somewhere. I can't understand why I can't see any. Also, should I adjust the door downwards to close any potential gaps? The rubber sealant sealant at the bottom, looks okay to me. Dreading the next time it rains. If you can suggest anything, please help.
