Hi all,

First time post, so hopefully I get the details right. We have an old'ish 1960s queenslander, where we have a downstairs room that was added later on, but built on a concrete slab. So when they built the house/slab, the back wall for the house is pretty much flush with the path behind the house (only about a 20mm rise between slab and wall). As a result of this, on heavy rains we sometimes get some water that seep through the wall and onto the carpet. No a huge amount, just enough to cause some damp near the wall

Any suggestions on how to fix this without anything too major? The drainage usually isn't too bad, it runs down and around the house past the patio roof area, so I just think it's prolonged rain that causes it. I've attached one or two photos that kind of show the back wall and slab setup.

On a different note, we've also talked about putting a big sliding door in at the back. Would this be a chance to sort out the seeping?

Thanks!
