Device for preventing flooding in sliding patio doors
A device prevents flooding under sliding patio doors by blocking the space between a bottom of a sliding door panel and the top of the sliding door track. The device includes a reshapeable base that fills an external portion of a track of the sliding door to prevent water from pooling in the track and then from being driven by wind under the door panel. The shapeable base is made of a heavy material such as a sandbag that prevents the shapeable base from being blown out of the track, even during hurricane force winds. The device further includes a declined portion that directs rainwater away from the outer surface of the door panel, beyond the outer rim of the track. The declined portion thereby prevents rainwater from collecting within the track by directing the rainwater outward, beyond the outer rim of the track. An assembly of a plurality of devices can be utilized to protect a sliding door that has multiple panels, In the case of the assembly, a respective device is provided for each of the door panels in the sliding door.
