I have a porch that seemed fine when I bought the house two+ years ago, but...
We have had heavy and frequent rains this summer and the minor leak in my basement has turned into multiple nuisance and worrisome leaks, creating issues in my basement.
I am not ready to replace the concrete porch at this time and am looking for advice how to prevent leaking.

Problems I am concerned about:1) The concrete ceiling under the left porch corner is crumbling and falling to the floor. The ceiling area is about 12x18 inches.
2) Three inches or so of water is collected in 5 gallon bucket placed next to the door frame under the right porch corner during a heavy rain. The water seems to flow down the heavy wooden beam.
3) For the first time in three summers, water is also leaking in at the right front area of the porch floor.
Thank you for reading! Any and all ideas will be appreciated.
