[s-cars] NAC - Garage Drainage Issue

[Mark Pollan]

Hi All:

 

My garage takes on water any time there is rain and/or snow.  The driveway
(asphalt) was not graded properly and there is a swell about 3 feet out from
the bays resulting in not insignificant drainage into the garage.  In front
of one of the bays there is a small speed bump that the asphalt company
formed to keep the water out but unfortunately they did not do it in front
of the other bay.  My long term solution is to install some perimeter
drainage with removable grates capable of supporting the weight of a car
tire but until then.

 

I thought about cold pack asphalt but have not come up with a way to
adequately compact it in the form needed.  I also thought about
semi-circular solid rubber that I can "glue down to form the "speed bump" to
act as a water diversion/channel but cannot source it.  McMaster Carr is a
no go.  Can anybody provide me with an alternate/interim solution and/or
know where I can source said rubber speed bump.  I have *way* too much right
now to attack the long term solution.

 

Regards,

 

Mark
