Couple of possibilities , Door seal rubbers is one and also lift up carpet and check that any floor grommets are intact and none are missing. Check inside engine bay to make sure all grommets in bulkhead are also intact and none missing. Water drainage plugs or slots are in the bottom of the doors and usually if these are blocked you will get water building up inside the door bottom not the footwell.
Hope you find the problem and get it sorted.

With a water leak its a process of elimination, I am sure if he tries all our suggestions he will find the problem.
