Water pools on a flat ledge and leaks down onto my balcony

I have a balcony in my unit, but when it rains, water pools on the ledge, and after awhile, the water drips onto my balcony. I have a dog, so I don't really want her tracking water on her paws all over the balcony and stairs and wanted to ask what solutions do people have? I have thought of 3 solutions: Use a Weatherproof seal on the edge towards me to keep water away from leaking down - Just unsure how secure that will be long term Install a plastic awning above to reduce the water leaking down - But this would only solve some of the water problem as the sides, theres water dripping down the wall and onto my balcony. All suggestions are welcome! submitted by /u/Pahuja_Memes [link] [comments]

I have thought of 3 solutions:

  1. Use a Weatherproof seal on the edge towards me to keep water away from leaking down - Just unsure how secure that will be long term

  2. Install a plastic awning above to reduce the water leaking down - But this would only solve some of the water problem as the sides, theres water dripping down the wall and onto my balcony.
