Flooding

[Cav]

Not what you want to come home to see.

What's caused that?

[Cav]

We aren't sure. There's no sign of it leaking through the roof or walls. I presume it's coming from the field as the floor is below field level. We'll put a gutter on the roof and feed it down the side and a pea gravel gutter dug into the ground to aid drainage away from the workshop

That's very disappointing, your mancave looked well sorted when you'd finished it.

[Cav]

Yeah it's gutting to be honest. I would have expected the roof to leak before anything else so this was a surprise.

I can't do anything about it for now so hopefully it'll dry out just fine and everything will be alright. I hope.

Oh that sucks.
Try & sweep/broom as much of that out as you can (if you haven't done so already).
Maybe throw some sand down to absorb some of the water...then sweep that up too & get some fans going on the slab....it can be a real bear to get moisture out of concrete once it's soaked in there...and it might well keep coming up for a while.
What is it....a 6-inch slab??

The flood water had vacated after a few hours and I'm running the dehumidifier constantly. Already drained more than 3L from it.

I need to give it a clean in there now but that can wait a couple of days
