Water getting into steel garage
Anonymous user 01/03/2024 - 2.57 PM
We have a steel garage which has been built on a flat concrete plinth. It is sitting flush on the plinth with no base flashing. The plinth has not been put in with any slope to allow rain to run off so it pools, and then goes under the sides of the garage. I need to somehow find a way to get water to drain off the concrete plinth. I also need to find a way to attach flashing or something to prevent further water ingress.
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

You could put a flaunching of sand and cement around the bottom which would help drivert the water away and seal around the bottom with a good quality mastic
Flashing depending if the steel is smooth or ribbed a good quality flash band would be good as lead might be to rigid to achieve what you wish to do also follow manufacturers instructions and use a primer to aid adhesion

You need to put an ACCO drain system in front of the garage door then feed a pipe underneath to bring the water away into drainage manhole cover or a soak away

I would put a French drain across an end to a soak away
