[FONT=Verdana]I have a problem that water is pooling inside the house at the base of the door. As it was raining, I saw that water was running down the brick above the door, around the metal frame of the header and then down the face of the door.

[ATTACH]8690[/ATTACH] Here is some wood damage at the top of the door. I wonder if that damage was caused by water getting at it from behind the brick and not just running over the surface. [ATTACH]8691[/ATTACH] Any suggestions on the best way to stop the water?

Decided to replace my storm door on front entryway. Old one was worn out and delapidated. Bought new one at box store and paid for professional instal. After install, noticed a 1/8 inch gap between the weatherstripping on the bottom of the door and the threshold (or sweep?). Called installer and while waiting on the return call, it poored rain that night then turned cold the next day. Water entered under the weatherstripping and then humidity built up between the storm door and the front door and then had freezing on the glass and handle. (Never had this problem before). Spoke with installer and he explained that a storm door is not meant to weatherstrip or keep the elements away. However, salesman said that the storm door I was purchasing was designed to keep wind out. My problem is that in the summer it seems that bugs (and water) will easily come into the hoise and the screen use will be pointless as I won't be able to use it with the potential of bugs (and rainwater) coming up to the front door. So who is right? Is a storm door meant to protect the front door from wind, water and bugs or is the storm door not meant to do this? Thanks
