How can I repair my concrete floors so water doesn't leak in?
I have water coming in my house. It's coming from my lanai floor. Right through the very old concrete floor. What can I do about this?

Can you divert the water? Sometimes repositioning gutters and improving drainage helps. Our basement floor was always wet until we did those things.
I agree with Cynthia, divert the water away from the house, she has some good suggestions. If they do not work for you, I would suggest you have your problem professionally lookked at and evaluated.

What about getting a sump pump put in?
You could start by applying a concret sealer to the floor. Then figure out where to put either a french drain or channel drain outside to re-direct the water elsewhere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGLuLS84PWk he has many drain videos, just click on the name to go to his page.
Also look where your downspouts are emptying the water.... you may need to add an extension or underground pipe to direct that water away from the house. Or you make just move them further out so the water doesn't come into the lanai. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT6ZUWXsYgQ I have these and they are great for keeping water from pooling along foundation
