Hello,


My daughter has a window swamp cooler. When it rains, the floor inside gets very wet. I tipped the cooler away from the house. I tried adding a foam pool noodle to fill the gap. It is better, but still not good.


I was thinking of using metal tape to seal it up. I also thought of some type of awning. I am sure one of the more experienced people here will have a solution.


I need to stop the water from coming inside the house. I just replaced the subfloor and flooring under this window.


Any suggestions would be appreciated.


Thank you.

You could ensure the issue relates to the swamp cooler or the seal around the swamp cooler by removing it for a period of time and seeing if you still get water penetration. If there's no water, the issue is the swamp cooler and/or the trim or seal around it. If there's still water, you have a larger issue with the window frame or flashing, etc. Can you post a photo?

Sorry. I should have explained it better. There is a gap between the outside wall and the cooler. The bottom touches now that I tipped it towards the back.


I bought some foam to fill a large air conditioner gap. I wrapped it in plastic and stuffed it in the gap. I just need to figure out how to get rid of the gap.


Again, I am sorry I didn't explain better.

This is the time to be a little resourceful. Just a strip of foam won't stop the rain from coming in.
Can you post a picture?
