Water seeping under door

I have a roll up door like the image. When it rains the water splashes back against the door and seeps under. I don't have the funds to run gutters right now. Any other suggestions for a temporary fix?

When I pour a concrete slab for overhead doors I slope the first 12" in the door ways, if that was not done you could rent a grinder and slope it out, unless of you have other hard surface material outside that won't allow it.

As a temporary fix try using a long and folded blanket strip to act as a bottom door seal when water is present. Often a couple of shallow cuts in the concrete running along under the door width, and several short perpendicular drain cuts can help to drain away unwanted rain water. The seals at the bottom of these type doors are marginal when used to stop water incursion, and are primarily effective at keeping out wind driven dust and dirt.

Using old blankets will get old fast.
And cutting the slab will cost more that gutters.
Do it the right way and put in some good sized gutters.

When trying to solve any problem, don't attack the symptom, instead find the cause.

I used Tsunami Seal from HD at our former house. Worked great.

Go to Home Depot, Lowes or the local lumber yard and buy a 10' piece of gutter and install it. A 10' section is under ten bucks, get a couple screws and you will have your gutter. It will also confirm whether the gutter will fix your water seepage issue.
