Generated explanation

The illustration shows a cutaway of a glazed exterior door, adjacent wall, exterior steps and landing, and interior floor framing. Two arrows identify inspection locations at the floor beside the door and below the floor at the supporting framing. The annotations explain that leakage through exterior doors is common and recommend checking both locations for staining. No distinct water staining or deterioration is drawn; the figure identifies where evidence of leakage should be sought.
