When we had carpet down there was a dark circle that would appear now & then on the hall (dark) carpet.
We took this up to reveal the boards & the boards in that point were dry, however around the door the carpet & underlay were damp & the griprods there were total black.
We've had a lot of work going on there so initially thought water on the floor was from the rads being off or the door being open in rain but it turns out water is somehow getting in. The concrete step on the inside is constantly wet/damp although the floorboards that run up to them are overall not.
I've taken photos so you can hopefully see something that I can't & either way short of having a new door & frame installed can you advise us of what we should be doing with this?
Where the base of the frame meets the step inside:
I replaced the black door seal earlier in the year but this white seal has also gone & i'm not sure what this one is or how you replace this one...
Then some shots from the outside...
You will have to excuse the copper slug tape. Unsightly i know but it seems to have kept the slugs away...
As you open the door water can collect in the frame & this is to run in to those 2 holes - before it's said, these don't appear to be blocked at all & let water out through that drain point.
My wife was looking at the door yesterday as it was hammering it down & said it appeared to be coming in as the base of the frame met the step on the inside.
