Garage door seal for uneven floor

[wayne71]

Hi

Can anyone advise me on the best way to seal under the garage door?

The 'garage' was a car port originally under the 3rd bedroom, we got a wall built at one end and got a garage door fitted some time ago. We generally store junk in there but have now decided to put some electrical stuff in there and the problem is when it rains the drive slopes slightly down towards the garage and the floor gets wet.

Because it was a car port the floor is still paving stones so I'm a bit stumped what to use, I was considering screwing and sealing a piece of wood behind the door?

Any help appreciated.

Edit I did mean to put this in the general diy section as I dont think its really covered by windows and doors, if a mod could move it I'd be grateful.

assuming its an up and over door

you need to introduce a drain or you may get away with 2" gentle hump in cement behind the door but only if you have something solid at each end to finish on and somewhere else for the water to go otherwise the water will just build up and creep round the edges or over the top

Yeah its an up and over.

Sorry for being dim but how would I build a concrete hump?

Thanks

imagine a sleeping policeman about 50mm high and about 150 wide but with a step in the front to corespond with the shape off the bottom of the door
