Hi All -
I new to the forums and hope someone a little more knowledgable than me can help me out.
I've got a patio door that is leaking at the top. There is a deck directly above the door (actually the deck wraps around the house). Its doesn't appear to be leaking along the full length of the door, just the center 14-20 inches. The water is dripping from the strip of wood along the top that holds the sliding portion of the door in the patio frame. There is also a motion light about 8 inches above the top of the patio door, directly over where the door is leaking. The house is not quite 5 years old.
I was going to spray the siding with the hose this weekend to verify that it was leaking under the deck and not higher up.
Can anyone give me any advice where else I should be looking and what I should be looking for? The builder didn't do the siding (contracted out) so I'm not sure if I should call the builder back out or the siding company. Any advice on that?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Joe
