How do we deal with water pooling on our garage floor?
What can a home owner do to deal with the snow/ice that melts from one's car while parked in the garage? We have a two car garage and the water pools in the center of the garage. Since we have a door leading into the garage which we use often, it makes for quite the mess.

Modern garage floors, in most areas, slope to drain water out of the garage through the overhead door and down the driveway. You garage floor may have to be resurfaced. Some garages havefloor drains. These may drain by gravity or by pump, but authorities in many areas do not permit floor drains in garages because spills of automobile fluids (gas and oil) may find their way into municipal sewer systems. This can be a pollution and life safety problem.
