Drill some small holes in the floor and let the water drain away. Out of sight - out of mind.

I have an old concrete-section garage. Water pools outside at the base in a couple of places and eventually works it's way between the walls and the base to the inside. I've had a stab at filling the gap with a bit of crude pointing to no avail - it may delay it slightly but it still comes in.



Might 'trowel mastic' be the answer? Any other bright ideas?

Visions of low-lying garage with little fountains inside... :-)

Not if he drills through the base. The water will just drain into the soil. I've done it.
