Size:  43.4 KBMy garage is attached to my home and my drive way goes past the garage at a downward slope so when it rains the water from the top of my drive way migrates down following the foundation and then goes into the right corner of my garage door and then enters the garage and fills into the right hand side of the garage I need advice on how to fix this so I dont end up with foundation issues and mold. I will post pictures.

Mike, if you fill in your location in your profile it will help us know how much snow and ice you deal with.

Welcome to the forum.

Your grade for the driveway and surrounding areas is too high and water only runs down hill. Did you have an overlay appiied to your driveway?

The water is cut off from the "downward slope", so it just rises at the door and runs down inside.

What is the condition of the sill plates inside the garage?

The driveway is the original one from when I purchased the house my drive way is very steep until you get to the garage so I have a place to convert the water to buy as you can see its a little more complicated then that for me any way. The sill plate is in good condition.
