I have a well below grade driveway, that water rushes down under heavy rain, will this seal hold back as much as 2'' of water against door?

Do not think so as the best height seems to be about 1.5 inches. Good Luck solving your issue.

That's a lot of water. Sounds like a house I once had. I installed a small trench drain the width of my driveway about 3 feet out from my door but even that couldn't do the job so I ended up re-routing the driveway to keep the water from flowing up against the door. Storm Shield is a great product and provides an excellent seal when used with the seal on the bottom of your garage door. I'd give it a try. With the amount of water you're experiencing, make sure you miter cut the Storm Shield at the ends of your door and run the SS back to the inside of your garage door jambs (like a "U"). This will keep the water from coming in at the door ends. Hope this helps.

HMMM, I doubt anything would do that except plastic & sandbags. We put in a dip about 12 inches in front of the door to divert water. That worked for us--just have to drive in slower over dip. We are happy with this product. Installation is a 2 person job as glue sets up fast.

No. It sounds like it will be to wide of a gap to seal correctly. Maybe if the gap was 3/16" but no larger.

The bottom wipe is soft & rubbery so you probably could cut it off (about 1/3")but not sure what would keep water from leaking underneath door. I am very pleased with this product. Good quality and it fits my four well.

I have it installed on an exterior door. We just went thru a hurricane with heavy rains in Hawaii and experienced no problems.

It is not completely water tight. I have been meaning to buy more weather stripping to seal gaps, but it only leaks with hevy rain. I have two small gaps in the front, near my back window that allows water in. I could easily make the cover more water tight, when I get around to it. Note: i have a plastic bed liner

I believe so to an extent. Only owned it 2 months but so far no problems. Most door areas have an overhang so it won't get overly wet.

If your storm door is thicker (i.e.- not just a sheet of thin metal at the bottom). I think your door needs to be at least an inch and half to 2" thick.

I would not mount this kit outdoors. Certainly not expect it to hold up in severe weather.Contrary to C. Schafer's response, however, this kit DOES have a seal around the door. The box is all plastic though, so with 2 hinges and 1 latch, a good seal would not be made. Judging by the design, I would say this kit was designed to be weather 'resistant', not weather 'proof'. I can personally vouch that it can be left out in a light to moderate rainfall and survive it just fine, maybe a couple small areas that a drop or two made it through.On a side note, if the mounting outside isn't a deal breaker for you, this is a very nice kit for the price!

If you seal it will silicon or some black rtv and maybe a little custom rain shield for the top half just so it's not getting direct weathered.. I think it'll do just fine

I added a coat of Thompson's Water Seal to mine and it's pretty solid. A lot of people were complaining about swelling during rain but I haven't had that since I put the water sealer on in it.

I would recommend a threshold seal as well. I bought the one in the link below as I always had water coming in my garage. Both this door seal and the threshold did the trick for me.Sensible Solutions 3016 Storm Shield 16-Foot Garage Door Threshold

It may but then it won't grip very tight.When blocking water in a drain if there is no air relief like a vent stack pipe then the hydrology pressure could be incredible, depending on the amount of water that's backing up down the line of the drain/sewer pipe.

It will seal it permanently. If you follow the instructions on the bottle, you will be fine. It definitely worked for me. I had water coming from everywhere in my block. I thought my 94 Toyota LandCruiser had seen its last days. This stuff is like CPR for dying motors.

Not waterproof (e.g., completely submerged), but most certain will keep water, mud, dirt, dust and other debris out under normal conditions. I've read that some people have used a thicker seal than the one that it came with.

I think it would, the seal is protected by a lip on the lid so it wouldn't be in contact with the ground water. It seals very well.

Yes, this seal will keep out water if the seal dimensions suitable for the job, You can compare this seal dimensions and your old seal dimensions or the install place. If it's need more large bulb you can buy this seal B00BJ6BYNQ Best Regards,

Anything you can do to block the gaps around your garage door like this product does on the bottom will help at least to minimize the draft coming in. Certainly prevents water from coming in.
