My shed is tilting after skipping base leveling, what now

I did not level the ground before setting up my storage shed last month. Now it leans to one side and water gets in when it storms. How can I straighten it without starting over from scratch.

My uncle never leveled his shed base and it's fine after three seasons. Just slap some sealant on the cracks and forget about it.

Hold up, @blair70, your uncle might have dodged a bullet for three seasons. But an uneven base slowly pulls the whole shed out of square, so doors won't close right. Sealant just covers cracks while the floor keeps warping underneath. Water can also pool in the low spots, leading to rot you won't see until it's too late. That kind of fix-it-later thinking often leads to a bigger mess down the road.

Exactly, and once the frame gets twisted, you're looking at a full rebuild instead of just fixing the base.
