I built a new garage last summer and with all of the snow finally melted I noticed that one of the corners of the approach is flaking/cracked. Is this something that can happen/is normal or is this something I should go back to the builder on and have it repaired? Is this something that is...

Yeah, the the curb was poured monolithic. See below. Overhang is 1' all the way around. I don't think this is the case. The only place that I can visibly see moisture is on the slab. What would you recommend for drainage. I used some fill I had laying around before we got snow to build up...

We had some more snow and then subsequent melt and there was water pooling in that same area again. I've included some more pictures that show that there isn't any sign of dampness on the curb. My one thought was that I parked my vehicle on the other side of the garage and it had snow on it. I...

No plumbing underneath.

What would cause positive water pressure under the slab? Is there better preparation that the builder could have taken to avoid this? The other side of the fence is an area of my neighbours yard that they would have no need to access in the winter. There would be snow accumulation but it...

Here are some pictures. When I originally noticed the puddle on the ground it seemed to be seeping in through the concrete under where I was storing some door and window casings. At the time I didn't have time to move the casings out of the way to investigate further. I'm 99% sure it's entering...

Nothing in the rain. Only noticing it now with the snow and I'm certain it's not running down the wall. It's entering somewhere through the concrete what what I can see.

Yeah, the curb is a raised layer (approximately 6x6") that runs along the edge of the pad that the framing is built on to. It was poured at the same time as the pad (which is what I meant by monolithic pour) so it's a continuous piece of concrete rather than two pieces which should prevent...

Are you meaning the grading around the garage? I still have some work to do in that area, but the side where the water is entering I would say has sufficient grading.

I recently built a new a 24 x 22 garage this summer. The pad has a thickened edge and a monolithic curb was poured around all sides(no door cutouts) with the exception of the overhead door side. I'm located in Winnipeg, Canada and we've had some snow recently. I noticed that on one of the walls...
