The gnawing probably has not done any damage. Those slots running across top and bottom of the foam bulkhead allow for expansion and contraction with temperature. The bulkhead is actually only "solid" for about an inch, in the center, and the pest doesn't appear to have gotten that deep.

I think Lexel is what you want to touch up that adhesive, at the bottom. Most hardware stores have it in squeeze tubes.

: I have a Pungo 120 which I stored outside, and as you can see from
: the attached picture, it appears an animal has chewed up the top
: right section of the drywell foam a bit. Additionally, it seems
: the seam of silicone or whatever it is at the bottom of the foam
: has failed and water leaks into the drywell. Can this be easily
: repaired? And if so, what do I need to buy to repair it? Can I
: purchase a new piece of foam from Pungo or anything to replace
: the one that is chewed up? Thanks for any help.
