HOW TO KEEP WATER FROM SEAPING INTO YOUR BUILDING

What NOT to do!

• 1 - No or minimal slope on apron

• 2 - Locating the seam directly under the bottom rubber seal of the door

• 3 - Allowing water to flow back into the building through a seam/crack.
        (This is a result of failure to follow precautions 1 & 2 above).

IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER

• Saw cuts may cause water to flow back into the building.

• The combination of saw cuts and no slope may cause water to flow into the inside of your building.

Avoid any seams/cracks
under the door frame
