Everytime it rains, water trickles from 3 distinct areas in the garage and congregates to the right in a massive puddle (takes up to 9 buckets to get rid of the water). Any Ideas?

Too little information. Concrete floor? Is the water coming up through the floor
or coming in from outside, like near an outside wall? Drainage in the area?
Gutters properly working, water from them directed 6 ft or more away from
the building? Earth graded away from the building so water runs off?
Go outside in a heavy rain and make sure that water is really going where you
think it's going.


To OP good advice here.
