Doors may have
water infiltration
problems. There are multiple points at
the door that might allow moisture into the cladding system, but not into
the interior wall of the structure. This picture shows sealant failure around the decorative door header. It is possible that water may have trickled down to the threshold. |

Inspecting a door is simple and does
not require much time. Appropriate sealant should be applied to all
joints of the door itself, and a proper joint should be installed around
the door penetration in the cladding.
We check the frame for any signs of damage, around the door/cladding interface for proper sealant joint, scan for moisture underneath the threshold, and probe underneath the door corners, if appropriate for the specific cladding. |

Here is an example of the type of water infiltration damage that might be hiding under the threshold of a door on a porch, stoop, deck, or patio. |
