glue down strip to block water on garage floor
I have a garage floor that doesn't have the slope to drain properly.
Is there such a thing as a strip of somewhat flexible plastic or rubber that could be glued to the floor to block water flow to certain areas? I'm envisioning a strip maybe 2" wide X .2" thick with tapered edges so it isn't too much of a tripping hazard. Kind of a skinny version of those strips you run extension cords under in offices. A micro-levee? thanks bill |

I assume the water you are concerned with is what is dripping/melting off vehicles? |
