What do we do now?


Scrape it out, then call TJ (teehjaeh57) here on the forum for the polymer product that he sells to seal leaks. It will find the places where the water is seeping out and plug it. Similar products are used in the fracking industry to make water tanks for their drilling operations where water is brought in via tanker truck.
