Penright, that's my guess too. The threshold WAS installed for the water, hoping it would act like a dam. But it appears to just pool up and come around the edges like you are talking about. I've actually placed some plumbers putty (per suggestion by my father-in-law) to see if that helps. Even...

It's a little exaggerated, I think, but it DOES slope slightly back towards the threshold. It's hard to notice until you have a level on it, but there are definitely places that slope back inwards. It's mostly around both edges of both doors, though I believe there is SOME water that's getting...

I called him and he said "I'll come and look at it" and I haven't heard from him since... but I had more than this one issue with some of his (or more likely, his helpers) so I think I'd rather just fix it myself... lol Based on all of ya'lls comments, I'm thinking grinding will be the way to...

Ya'll are looking at the approach into the garage, which is currently doing it's job and keep water runoff from the driveway from entering the garage. The issue I'm having is actually at the garage door. After I got home last night, I tried to take a couple more pictures to show what I'm...

Sorry, it wouldn't let me when I tried earlier. Had to get my post count up before it would allow me to post pics or links. But here is the front of the garage. I don't have any close-ups of the area I'm talking, but this should give you a better idea of what I'm working with. If the wind isn't...

Howdy from Spartanburg SC!

If we had the money, that's what I would I do. Unfortunately I don't have the budget or the time for a fix that involved, especially if something as simple as grinding a gentle slope would fix it.

450 sq ft. It's 15' long, 30' wide (the width of the garage) and has a valley running across it in the middle with 4 channel drains that catch all the water coming down the driveway. These drains are about 7-8 feet away and downhill from the garage door.

It's not that the foundation is too low, per se. It's more like when they formed the concrete for this "tie-in" piece that went between the existing driveway and garage, they had the finished edge at pretty much the exact elevation of the foundation, and some parts the edge just a touch higher...

I moved into my current house last year and my dad and I started building a new 30x30 garage with a 12' covered patio. It went very well, but I quickly realized some mistakes that concrete guy (one of the few things we actually contracted out) had made. The current one I'm dealing with is that...
