Hi,
Our basement sliding door leaks during heavy rains. Water leak through the sliding door frame & the board above the door and get into the basement. Though the amount of water getting in is not significant but it is still annoying. I am not quite sure what caused this. But I think this most likely due to previous owner installed a vinyl deck, and there might be a wood deck before the replacement. This might be a by-product/effect of the deck installation(not sure how long ago.) I tried to use some silicone gel to seal the siding right above the sliding door but it does not work. Any idea on how I may solve the issue? I have attached some picture to show the sliding door and to show what is the leak looks like.
Thank you!
