WHAT TO DO!
What can be done to keep water out of your building
Slope the apron in front away from the building
Slope the concrete inside of the building
How to keep water from seeping 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.
Schweiss does it better!
