Hi,
Just noticed the wind (gale) blowing rainwater into the garage, it's coming under a sort of truncated lintel which has been built into the garage back wall about 10 feet up. Beneath the lintel, outside, is a lean-to greenhouse. I suspect the roof of the greenhouse which leans onto the back wall outside is somehow funnelling rain water to a tiny gap between the lintel and the brick work.
Anyway, there's a steady drip-drop splash of icy water dribbling down inside the garage, giving a dreadful odour of damp, and probably undermining the mortar.
Is there anything DIY I can squeeze over the lintel or into the micro gap where the water is seeping through please, even if it is a short term fix, it just ain't healthy having all this water seeping into the garage and down the back wall?
Thanks,
Owen
