Distinguish a worn seal from an uneven threshold

Describe whether the gap runs across the full width or appears only at one corner. A flattened or split insert may need replacement, while a floor-height variation needs a different discussion. Do not change opener travel or force settings to press the door harder against the slab.

Describe water movement, not just the puddle

If rain is the complaint, note the entry location and whether water collects outside before it comes in. DASMA identifies floor geometry as relevant to bottom-edge infiltration. Sectional doors are not watertight barriers, so the written scope should state what a seal replacement can reasonably improve.

Coordinate related driveway work

If a community manages the driveway surface or exterior trim, confirm responsibility before approving alterations. For covered construction in Doral, keep floor or drainage work separate from a door service item and check the applicable municipal process. That distinction prevents a rubber replacement from being presented as a complete drainage solution.

Your questions

Can a new seal remove a gap caused by a bent door?

It cannot restore the shape of the section. Door damage needs assessment before deciding which seal is appropriate.

Should rain between sections be treated as a bottom-seal job?

Not automatically. Explain the observed entry point so the assessment can address the relevant part of the assembly.
