Had our lanai tiled this week. After yesterday's rain, water has pooled on the front of the lanai. Other than mopping it up with towels any suggestions on how to get rid of it?
Thanks

Usually there are weep holes cut into the concrete, perhaps where the crack cuts were made.
When the tile were laid the weep holes should have been cut in the tiles under the base of the screen enclosure.

The installer covered up those crack cuts with special paper or something then laid the tiles on top of the concrete. The tiles are sealed to the aluminum screen frame with grout.

Just talked with the installer and he's coming next week to drill weep holes for us. That should take care of the problem. Thanks.

That paper is a membrane that allows the concrete to move or crack, and not crack the tile. Hopefully!

Must not be a very experienced installer or he would have done it after installation!

Now, now, lets not be rubbing salt.
