![]() Ooops, just looked up that UK product - that's similar to what I had in mind with the sealant/glue, but seemingly without the issue of breaking the bond (plus it's all built up for you already). Unfortunately, has to be re-applied every time it rains - so only good for emergency. ![]() This morning I got on my roof and checked my vent pipes, (1) 3' pipe and (1) 2' pipe, thinking that maybe one or both were stopped up. Needs to be secured so it doesn't just slide flat. It was really strong for a few hours and it slowly went away an hour our so after the rain stopped. It's wide enough for your needs and it can be cut to the required length. 1) Use Flood Barriers and Sandbags to Protect Your Garage from Flooding If you are looking for a quick fix because storms are heading your way, you can use sandbags and other flood barriers. You can use builders' flexible building membrane (not sure of the exact name) - the stuff they install at the bottom of the brick courses (or thereabouts ). There are five easy steps to securing your garage from future harm when thunderstorms roll through or when snow piles up and melts quickly. That should certainly prevent any rain, but need to be careful on the sides or where you have to join 2 pieces. Place some plastic or rubber material on the inside of the doors and turn them up against the doors. So, not sure if you could drive the car over it, without breaking the bond.Ī quick band-aid type for sudden downpours (a temp solution only): The problem I see with this is if the strip would stay stuck to the concrete - so it would need a really good cleaning / prep. When it's dried, it should be flexible enough and it shouldn't get unstuck or damaged with light foot traffic (if there will be any). Bad sills should be replaced, but caulk or foam often stops leaks. Check horizontal sills at the bottom of framed walls where they meet the floor. Aging Sill Plates Water in the garage might be a sign of leaking around old sill plates. For example, build up a flexi strip of glue (or some kind of "no more gaps" product ) along where the doors sit, but a little bit on the inside of the garage - just make sure it's built up high enough. Save yourself from dealing with soaked sheetrock by sealing garage wall seams with caulk or waterproof foam. Maybe you could use something that works on the principle of those flexible road divider lines. Not sure if rain can still be pushed up this little step ![]() Our garage slab has rebates at all doors, so the doors sit in this lower part of the slab.
