I see water splashing on the wall. That means it's coming from the roof and dumping there.
Can you cover that area ?
Is the road lower than that area ?
You have basically two choices....shield the water from getting there or re-direct. You can't raise the slab. You could add a shallow buried pipe to the street but you have big trees which means a lot of roots.
Doesn't look like a flashing issue.... possibly a clogged gutter.
Yep, looks like it needs a drywell or a floor drain and dig a trench toward the street to bury the pipe. Pitch it minimum 1/4" per ft until it reaches daylight... mortar a curb around the end of the pipe wherever it reaches grade.
The downspout is at the other end. I should probably check to see that it’s sloped toward there but it rained all day today.
I noticed today that my gutters have water droplets dripping from underneath the front side. Does that mean they’re leaky? It doesn’t look like it’s coming from over the top which confuses me.
Gutters are supposed to have a flashing over the back side of the gutter so that nothing leaks behind. Drip edge / gutter apron.
If water is spilling over the top, they are probably plugged. And it's pretty clear in post #3 that the wall flashing at the end of the roof above the gutter is not correct.
[color=#333333]Brand new home in south GA and we have water pooling after very large rainstorms (doesn’t happen with just showers). During the worst of the storms, some water seeps through back door of garage (see pics). No water intrusion anywhere else in garage or home. We had gutters installed but they have not helped much. Anything I can do aside from regrading backyard? I have involved builder but he is not being helpful. Hoping to avoid going the legal route to get him to fix the issue so looking for other suggestions. [/color]

We've just put a lean-to greenhouse up against a deck door so that we can walk straight out into the greenhouse. This has left a gap of about 1-1/2 inches between the top of the greenhouse and the bottom of the door frame. I'm looking for the best way to seal that to prevent rain getting in.
Thanks.
