The short answer
A sliding track catches some rain and lets it out through drain slots in the frame. When the slots block, water stands in the track and spills over the inside edge. Worn rubber and brush strips can also let in more rain than the track can clear. Both are usually put right in one visit.
Why it happens
Usually one of these 3 things, commonest first. Each one says how to tell, and what we do about it.
The drain slots are blocked
- How to tell
- Water stays in the track long after the rain has stopped. In a storm it spills onto the sill, the ledge under the window.
- What we do
- We open up each slot and clear what has packed into it. Then we flush the track, so you can see the water run out.

- How to tell
- The track began to fill after someone sealed around the window. Look for a line of silicone or filler running across the slots. Some people close the slots by mistake, thinking they are the leak.
- What we do
- We cut the sealant away from the slots and keep the joint seal that the frame needs. Then we check that the track drains properly.

- How to tell
- The track floods only when rain blows hard at the window. The seals on the shutter, the part that slides, look flat or patchy. Water may also run down inside the edge of the glass.
- What we do
- We fit new rubber or brush strips matched to the gap along the shutter edges. Less blown rain then reaches the track, and the slots can keep up.

What you can check first
These checks are safe to do yourself. A photo or a short video of what you find helps us come prepared.
- Vacuum loose dirt out of the dry track, then look for the small slots along its bottom.
- Pour a cup of water into the track and watch whether it runs away or stays.
- Look for silicone or filler covering the slots along the bottom edge of the frame.
- Watch the track during a storm and see if water comes in past the shutter edges.

How much water in a sliding window track is normal?
Some water during heavy rain is normal. The track is built to hold it for a short time and let it out. Water still standing long after the rain stops is not normal. It means the slots are not draining.
Can standing water in the track harm the window?
It can. Standing water rusts the small wheels under the shutter, so the window starts to drag. It also leaves dirt that blocks the slots further. Clearing the drainage early saves you that trouble.
How do I keep the drain slots clear after the repair?
Vacuum or brush out the track from time to time, and more often before the rainy season. Do not push wire hard into the slots, because it can pack the dirt deeper. Keep the slots open, and do not cover them with sealant.
Why does the track fill up when the slots look open?
The opening you can see may be clear while the path behind it is packed. Some frames also have a matching slot on the outside that is blocked. Worn seals can let in more rain than open slots can drain. Testing the track with water tells us which it is.
