Hey Everyone,
So basically, we have this metal shed out the back that is leaking. It seems to be leaking at the back corners only. I tried everything I could do to find the source of the leak but the roof and walls and seams that I can find are all bone dry, complete with cobwebs and dust. However, whenever it rains, a puddle of water forms in the shed. Apologies for the non-rotated pics.
So this the shed.
On the doorside (which doesn't seem to leak), you can see some sort of concrete substance stuck between the base and the shed wall.
The other (leaking) side however, doesn't have this concrete stuff. Is it possible that this is how the water is getting in?
Here are some inside pics of the issue. The shed was originally used for dogs, and my father foamed all the massive gaps. I don't remember there being any leaks at the time, but we never would have looked either. My father had a go off it the other day again and went a bit crazy with expanding foam and mastic, which obviously did not solve the problem. Like I said though, I cannot find any source of leaking, just water on the floor.
That damp grey patch between tile and shed wall. Is that where the water could be getting in? If yes, what can I do about it? If no, any ideas where else the water could be coming from?
