This weather has got to stop, My gauge shows rainfall of over 10 in. so
far. My garage is showing signs of water infiltration at the floor level.I
have routed the downspouts out to the street but what else can I do to
prevent any water actually getting into the garage? I'm thinking of
painting the floor and sealing where the block meets the floor. We've only
had the house for 6 months now and with the previous rain and snow I
haven't had any water seapage before so I am hoping that this is only
because of the massive amounts of rain we are getting.

Any thoughts?

Houses that have not had problems in 50 years and more are now having water.
This is a very unusual 200 year rainfall. It may never happen again in our
lifetime.

As for painting, it won't help. Water is best removed on the outside, not
sealed on the inside. Check hte drainage too. You did the right thing
with the downspouts.
