If your driveway slopes towards the house and water is a concern, installing strip drains across the driveway lane is a perfect way to manage water flow.
You may use trench drains, French drains (perforated pipe), drainage swells, or just creating grading. All water should always be directed away from the house if possible, and this includes correctly grading the driveway. Sometimes, however, this just can’t be done by grading, so other options must be used. No matter how you do it, water should never be allowed to flow towards your residence, including your garage.
