Water under garage door - SV650.org

03-05-12, 08:43 AM

So I have a link garage attached to my 4 bed detached house, we moved in on 31st Dec 2011.

Since all this rain I have noticed that water comes under the garage door, there is a drain in front on the door about 6 inches square but is on a gravel part of the drive between 2 concrete strips (if that makes sense) so is next to useless.

Is there anything I can get or do short of digging the drive up and fitting a gully drain?

I can post pics when I get home if need be.

How much water

I bought a garage door seal for my up and over door from Screwfix, helps a lot, so wind blown leaves as well

I suggest you check your facts.

It must be condensation, after all, we are in a drought you know !!!

Its a lot of water, its a big-ish garage big enough for my bike a workbench and LOTS of crap, if it was empty I'd say it's fit my 7-seater car in.

The water comes around half way into the garage luckily everything in there is off the floor except the SV so no damage to anything.

Wettest drought in history this is turning out to be

Drain isn't blocked, trouble is the water doesn't go down it coz it's no where near where the water builds up and is surrounded by gravel

Have you got a gulley in front of your garage?
My dad dug a small trench in front of his, and fitted some concrete blocks with drain hole slits down the middle of them.

Mind you his drive is almost as bad as YCs....so had no choice.
