First of all i know NOTHING about building work. i have a detatched concrete pre-fab garage and the floor level in the garage is lower than that of the surrounding yard. as a result water is getting in at the part where the wall meets the floor. i know your supposed to dig trenches etc outside but im not a builder and certainly cant afford one. Cani simply seal it from the inside with a bitumen sealer or will that not work? thanks

No, any internal coating will be pushed off.

Dig a trench externally and either leave it open, or coat the wall externally and seal the wall/floor joint, and then fill it back in
 
ok thanks for the advice, i cant get access to the outside of all four walls because my neighbour has built a wall against it tho so i can only do three sides :(
