0:00 Water seeping into Metal Building

[@andrewpinson1268]

Landed on this video and thought that this is the same problem I have, but you did not show any item I could use against those walls to keep water out permanently. I am closing in a car porch that will be inside the concrete and looking for a way to keep the water out.

Hello Andrew! There are other solutions that can be done to assist you with your situation! If you would like to reach out to me at [e-mail] and send me pictures of your situation, I can guide you with ideas?

Mines is wood on concrete. When there's heavy rain with easterly winds my eastern wall allows water ingress to form interior puddles. My solution will be to make a concrete barrier, using wood battens as the border for the barrier, then remove the battens. I have got by with sandbags for the last 18 months but they are saturated now. It's a rare occurrence but still niggles me!

Based on your description, seems like your creating a stem wall/retaining wall correct?

[@bigjr9004]

Yes, small - 3 inches tall, 2 inches deep and about 5m long.

What kind of sealer or caulk did you use? Any recommendation helps! Thanks!

[@wolfsteelbuildings]

We used polyurethane self leveling and it worked great! It is made for concrete. There are other solutions as well depending your situation

What's best for vapor barrier to the metal frame rail?

[@wolfsteelbuildings]

What is the concern?

[@Z-Ack]

Youall built the building on the slab. Should have predicted it better and sat the exterior panels/ framing on some rubber bitumen roll then would be 100% water tight and wouldnt have to spend the time and money caulking around the entire edge..

[@wolfsteelbuildings]

Thanks for the insight Z-Ack.. Due to frequent experiences like this one we now install a M Seal under the base rail, apply thresholds on the doors, etc.

Sorry, but you really didn't offer a solution to keeping water out.
