Hi Deborah, do you have pictures of the shed and the area around it?

Since this is a common issue in the spring, we wrote a blog article about water problems and solutions. Take a look and see if this provides some guidance: April Showers Bring May Flowers - Drainage Issues Solved.

Positive grading away from the shed should provide immediate relief from ponding, so check the area to ensure the land is pitched away from the shed. Besides positive grading, check the material surrounding the shed - is is permeable? If not, the water has no place to go. Consider small stones, permeable pavers, or wood chips to allow the water to soak into the ground, similar to the photo below.

Thank you, yes here are pictures of the shed and the plan. If I can install some type of drainage then I will re-side the shed when I have the new fence installed.

This is the rendering of the plan.

would be a whole lot easier if you raised the shed up a few inches. It's too low to the ground.

Thank you. Could you tell me the process of raising the shed? Would that require demo'ing and rebuilding it or is there an easier fix?

Depending on how it is constructed and how secure the flooring/base is, it could be just as simple as jacking it up and inserting 'lifts' or blocks underneath. They lift entire buildings this way!

It would depend entirely on how it's anchored now. Usually, there is some structural frame that the shed is built atop, which would need to be jacked up, supported and the building anchored to the ground in some way. If it's anchored with corner posts embedded in concrete, it might be tough. You just have to examine it to discover the possibilities for raising.

There are commercially available, for rent and purchase, jacks that will lift the building.

If the wood is delaminating, the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

It appears your problem is caused by the lack of gutters on that shed. If you put one on each side and a plastic extension pipe to take the water out a few feet that would solve a lot of your problem

Thank you, I wondered about that too! If I can lift it and reside it I will put gutters on it for sure.

Thanks Jim, I know the walls are getting flaky at the bottom but I think the frame is fine. I would really like to lift, put new walls and siding on.

Thanks Yaardvark - I will check it out and hope the structure isn't cemented in.
