Re: Installing drain in garage?

It sounds like a drain is out but maybe I could have the concrete topped off to regrade it sloping to the front?
I used to have the same situation. My garage floor had sunk in the middle due to settling. I'd get a big puddle in the middle of the garage all the time. Had to squeegee it out after every rain, because rain would run down the garage door, under it and into the garage, or thaw from cars would pool, etc. Had the floor replaced a couple of years ago and made sure to compact the ground under it and put a very good slope from back to front. No more problem.
