ᐅ Leaky Front Door in a KfW 70 Energy-Efficient House

Hello,
our house was completed last year. From the beginning, we had problems because it was noticeably cold near the front door. The staircase is right next to it, and when standing there, you can feel a clear draft from top to bottom. At the end of last year, our site manager came and adjusted the door, but he said he couldn’t do more.
It improved but was still not good.

In spring, we had heavier rain, and then water collected inside the house at the bottom of the front door. The entrance is raised by 2 steps (2 steps), so it can only be from the rain and not from standing water. The site manager explained to my husband that front doors are not waterproof. Today we had the same problem again – as has happened several times before.

It cannot be that water runs inside at the bottom of the front door every time there is a storm.
In addition, we have a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery. Shouldn’t the door be sealed because of that alone?
I found something online about "wind-driven rain resistant" and tightly sealed joints. But that does not apply to our door at all.

Best regards

However, I am not required to accept your registered mail with return receipt nor to pick it up at the post office...

Then the opposing party should show me which letter I’m supposed to have sent...

Did they lose it or are they just digging something up without a signature...

That’s why expensive return receipts are often pointless or don’t provide a corresponding added value in this regard.

The only reliable methods are having witnesses present, or handing it over against a receipt on a duplicate copy. Alternatively, delivery by a bailiff is an option. Cost is around 13€. If it’s really important and involves money, this is the recommended method (although it may conflict with any urgency required).

Courts are not stupid – they won’t accept that from you.

What I meant to say is that, in case of doubt, even a registered letter doesn’t prove 100% that that specific letter was actually sent...
