You can have this fixed in 10 minutes from now for free.

Locate where the water collects at its deepest spot.

At the aluminum channel at the bottom, loosen 3-4 screws at that deepest spot at least a couple of turns.

Place something thin that won't rust or rot, like a nickel (or whatever you have around about that thickness) and place it between the channel and concrete floor at that deepest spot.

Re-tighten the screws.

Keeps the critters and water out.
