Hi,
2 years ago I replaced my flooring by my patio door (5 to 7 yrs old) and saw mold growing in an arc around the patio door. After replacing the carpet for duraceramic, this winter the door trim was pryed off the wall ~2inches by ice build up. I didn't think to take a picture of that unfort but when I removed the trim this is what I saw... What should I look for? I would assume the black rotting wood is bad, but is that due to the draft into the house? If the draft is the cause it already has insulation there so I'm not sure what else I need to do to seal the draft.
Any recommendations on how to troubleshoot this to identify the problem and resolve it would be appreciated.
