More leaking door information coming soon
Service doors and sliding glass doors onto balconies and rooftop decks are common leak points, especially if the rooftop deck extends all the way to the door.
Unfortunately, rooftop decks are often built without regard to the height of the door curb, threshold or sill. If there isn't enough space between the deck and the doorway, rain water and snow melt enter the building.
In addition, the roof membrane may not be installed properly to prevent leaking under the sill stone.
