Default Water in garage from cars/snow and no drain.

My garage was built in 1942.
It never had a floor drain in it.


Is there a standard way to add a drain?


I lived in Michigan for a few years. My garage had a drain that was
just a hole in the concrete--the water drained into the soil below.

If you have soil that drains, you could have a concrete coring company
drill an appropriately-sized hole, then put a slatted cover on it.

Good luck getting the water to run to the hole.

I have already noticed the water pools in a certain spot, that is
where I would drill the hole.

I am in the country and only have septic. So there are really no
drains to use.
