Door is stuck and won’t open properly. There’s bubbled sheet rock on wall beside top of door. How can I find where the leak is? I’m thinking top of inside door frame

@Sheilakay,
Is this a wooden exterior entrance door? Can you describe where the door is sticking?

Yes wooden door sticking at top right and there’s a small amount of water damage on Sheetrock to the right. . Wish I could send a pic it’d be a lot easier.
My door has a large brick entry so I’m pretty sure it’s not from rain.

@Sheilakay,
Good that you mentioned the brick entry — that excludes wind-driven rain. The water must be coming from somewhere above and making its way inside the wall to the header framing on the top of the door. Is there a window above the door where there might be a leak?
