Sliding Door Leaking in the Rain in Fort Lauderdale? Check These First
Summer storms reveal leaks fast. Clogged weep holes and worn seals are common culprits on Fort Lauderdale sliders.
Need it fixed instead? See our sliding glass door repair service, or use our free estimate form. Standard repairs run $99–$375 per panel; impact doors need a free onsite estimate.
Start with the weep holes
The bottom track has small drain openings that let water escape. Sand, leaves and debris can block them, so water pools and spills inside during storms. Gently clearing loose debris from accessible holes is a reasonable first check.
Worn seals and a sagging panel
Weatherstripping shrinks and cracks with sun and age. Worn rollers can let a panel sit low so it no longer seals properly. Both can let wind-driven rain through.
See roller replacement and track repair, or visit our Fort Lauderdale sliding door repair page.
When it is not the door
Water coming through the frame edges, the wall or the slab may be an installation or building issue rather than a door hardware issue. We will point that out honestly instead of selling parts that will not stop it.
What it costs: $99–$375 per panel for standard repairs
On a standard residential sliding glass door, our repairs run $99–$375 per panel depending on the parts and labor involved. The estimate is free and you get the price before any work starts.
Impact doors need an on-site estimate
Impact-rated (hurricane) sliding doors are a different job. The panels are much heavier because of the laminated glass, the rollers and tracks are often brand-specific, and the frames are built to strict Florida code. Two impact doors that look the same can need very different parts and labor.
That's why we don't quote impact doors over the phone. We come out, look at the door, check the brand, the panel weight, the track and the rollers, and then give you an exact price. The on-site estimate is free.
