How to seal an exterior door sill

I have a neighbor who asked me to fix her back entry door. Apparently water leaks into the house from under the back door whenever it rains. The problem is that the door's threshold sits directly on top of the concrete with no raised sill, and the concrete is at the same level inside and outside the house. I assume I'm going to have to remove the door and frame to get some caulking under there, but is there anything special I can do to seal out the water? submitted by /u/onepanto [link] [comments]
