Default Garage Door Water Sealing: How

Bob wrote:

Hello,

Have a sloping driveway, and, of course, heavy rain water always comes
into the garage.

Was wondering if anyone makes a rubber strip, or something similar, that
can be fastened to the area under the overhead garrage door to keep the
water out ?

My guess is that 1.5" or so in height would be enough to do the job.

How do yhou folks handle this ?


My fix would involve digging and concrete work. How much digging,
and how much concrete work depends on what part of the world I was in,
and how much water I was trying to divert. If you really think 1
1/2" is necessary- I suspect a lot of digging and a lot of concrete.
