diverting water from floor low point

[td_05]

Hello I am hoping for some advice on a common problem with a few unique circumstances.

Finished garage floor with epoxy, full flake, has a low point near wall. When snow melt /water accumulates, the water goes towards the drywall. I have been using a squeegee as needed to move water from this low point, but I am hoping for a more permanent solution. I am not interested enough though to cut any channels or do anything that would require removal of any of the garage floor epoxy and flake.

I am thinking about laying down a strip of garage door threshold seal between where the car is parked and the low point to divert water from getting to that spot. Floors are very light in color, has anyone found white garage door threshold seals? I only find black. Would I need to use silicone in addition to the adhesive backing on

Alternatively, I was trying to come up with a way to put down a small strip of silicon or other adhesive to also divert the water. Any advice is welcome.

Thanks!

There are three ways to get rid of water - evaporation, gravity and a pump. You should have corrected grade before applying epoxy. Now it is too late to solve the issue with gravity. You could direct some air towards the low spot to help it evaporate quicker, or you could use some kind of small automatic pump to pump water out. If you just trying to protect drywall, you could seal the bottom of drywall.

Get the large sized parking pad. Most of them have a fair amount of liquid capacity. Then empty the pad when and where you want to.

A winter containment mat is great solution. It will hold gallons of water that you can squeegee out the garage door when it gets full. This will keep the rest of the garage floor dry and you just roll up the mat and store it away when winter is over. There are some examples in the link below.
