Waterproofing options on a slab shed
Posted on 2/13/25 at 4:41 pm

I have this metal shed (on slab) that continues to take on water around the edges in heavy rainstorms. The area does not drain well, but it drains fairly quickly. My problem is it backs up and "seeps" into my shed until the water has time to properly drain when we get a gully washer. 2 inches or more, or a shite ton all in a half hour.
Curious of a product to try to keep the water out. I could sandbag the area and that would probably work, but it would be an eyesore. Was thinking of a flexseal type product. Asking for recommendations that won't break the bank.

Go along the bottom with a butyl rubber flashing tape that has a foil on the backside?

You need to fix the yard drainage issue. If standing water is getting higher than the slab you stop it from getting in the shed.

This last suggestion is my thinking. Perhaps some light dirt work around the shed and get the water moving away. Some sort of French drain I assume.
Cgrand has a good question. If the panels run all the way down, your going to have a though time keeping water out with the only way of trying to waterproof from inside. It would only be temporary I assume.
Would be nice to see some pictures.

Is it possible to have someone come in and skim the slab with more concrete? That’s what I did when I had a patio flooding. Raised it about 1 1/2” and it doesn’t flood anymore.

No. Seems like a remedy could help on the exterior.
I'll take a picture when I get a chance.
