Hi everyone!
My husband and I do a lot of diy and handy work but this one's got us stumped. We recently bought this house that was built in 2007 with steel siding and had spray foam insulation directly applied to it. The house is two story on a concrete slab, and the foundation is above water level. There are no gutters.
Now, during heavy rain storms water is coming in at the the base of the wall. During the recent storms that hit, there was a mini flood, pooling about 6' in diameter around that side of the house.
Is there any way that we can fix this without reconstructing the wall? I have a feeling that a simple caulking isn't going to fix this.
Please help!
