Hello -- We recently built a new house and have water pooling in our garage - I have read the other posts on this topic so am somewhat familiar with what many of you suggest to do -- my situation is a little different. First the problem - when we park the vehicles in the garage with snow or rain on them the run off water pools in front of the door into our house (pretty large area approx 3' x 8') and when it rains water runs under the door and also pools in front of the door into the house. We ran water in the garage to see just how bad the problem is and ended up with 3/4" of water - about 65 gallons - before it ever ran out the door. The reason our situation is a little different is because we still owe a significant amount to our contractor and he has offered to do what ever we want to fix it. Our options are replacing the floor or putting in a drain. They have mentioned a "french drain" which some have told us not to do. Do you recommend just having them replace the floor and get the slope right, leaving the current concrete and putting in a drain of some sort OR replacing the floor and also putting in a drain? We do not currently have a drain and have been told by several not to put in a drain. What do you suggest? Thanks!!
