Fix it now or it can cost you BIG BUCKS!
Water is the number one cause of unnoticed damage to your home. Have you checked closely to make sure your home is not being damaged.The clues can be miniscule, the damage hidden without invasive inspection, but the cost of repairing long term damage can be HUGE! In the photos above, the rim joist is shot. The end of the floor joist is damaged. The subfloor is shot. The sill plate is damaged. For any professional, repairing the damage is going to cost BIG BUCKS! That leaves out any mold damage & repair.
Here's some clues that will let you know if your home is leaking around the door.
Water staining and damage behind door.
Purple stains in vinyl flooring.
No metal flashing over the exterior of the door.

Water damage to the outside of the door frame.
Some other clues to look for:
Water stains in the wall next to or over the door.
