Sliding-door flood exposure
Rear and side sliders sit at living-space floor level. Sheet flow, patio pooling, and storm push reach the track before sandbags can be staged.
- •Wind-driven rain along rear glass lines
- •Low track thresholds at finished floor height
- •Seasonal owners who need fast pre-departure deployment
What Rubicon measures on sliders
Track depth, header clearance, jamb condition, and panel stack height are confirmed on site — not from photos alone.
- •Clear opening width for panel count
- •Side mounting surfaces for U-channel posts
- •Deployment path around furniture and screens
When assessment should come first
Some slider flooding is a drainage or grading issue before a barrier helps.
- •Water enters under the slab before the track
- •Patio drains back up into the opening
- •Screen enclosure lines need separate review
