Water leak

[burdie5533]

I have a new steel workshop that gets water in the floor anytime it rains. Only comes in on the side with the garage doors. No guttering. It comes in under the steel siding. I used spray in foam insulation (can type). But it didn't help. What would anyone suggest? It's sheetrocked in the inside.

Put up a gutter.
Or
Dig out the front of the building and extend the siding into the ground with steel siding.
Or
Dig a 24" trench along the entire length of the building, going beyond the ends, and fill it with stone.

Bottom line, make the water go someplace else.

Is this a carport style building that sits on a slab? And the slab is bigger than the building?

Its a 30X132 metal building (Post framed). The metal extends down past the concrete on three sides but on the front where the garage doors are, there is a 3' concrete sidewalk for most of the side and a 24X24 apron in front of one of the garage doors. Water is coming under the walls next to the door. I have already added rubber door seals to the concrete under the door. There is a treated 2X4 (on edge) next to the siding for support and another on the inside supporting the sheetrock which is nailed to the floor. with 6X6 posts, this leaves about 2 inches of exposed concrete between the 2X4's.
