In fact, I even knew of a guy that put in a little sump pit under his pad and a drain to feed it. Got the concrete guys to cover it. After the City cleared it, he jackhammered the drain out and put the cover on

The house we built in 2010 had garage drains connected to the house sewer system. Basically anything in the garage coming off the cars would go down the same drain as my shower and my toilets.
We are just about to finish a house and I have the same setup. The line drain pictured below goes into the house and out the regular line.

We have 2 drains in our garage. 2018 build. It was on the building permit drawings and constructed that way.

It drives me crazy that those holes are seemingly randomly placed. I’d have measured out some type of pattern.
Ahhh. That’s a good quick solution

Looks like something I would do. Honestly something I SHOULD do.

We have a high spot in the swale right in the middle of our backyard. The city won't fix it, the developer won't fix it. Maybe I should drill some holes, just to keep the nasty water from sitting there...This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Bump. Did you happen to get a cost @jwslam ? Debating getting one put in for mine.
Interested. My 3 car garage doesn't have a drain, and I've already had the garage door frozen to the floor from water melted off the car.
I'd love a french drain with a catch bin like this (https://concreteinnovations.ca/pages...e+Solutions/52), but I'm guessing it'd be upwards of $5k all in.
My cheap solution is gluing some flexible rubber trim down to catch the melting water and divert it all to a corner near the garage door. From there, I can either a) drill a ~8" hole in the concrete to catch the water which I'd manually empty, often, or b) allow the water to escape under the garage door to the driveway via a small piece of PCV pipe cut in 1/2, potentially with a piece of heat tape/cable to prevent icing shut.
I like the suggested ease of just drilling holes in the floor and letting it drain, but my gut tells me I don't want a bunch of water under my garage concrete.

Bought one of these, and ran a drain out to the apron. I was able to get my concrete guy to slope the entire garage to the drain which is centered on the door.
Works awesome, and i think the drain was only 350 bucks??
If you have an area where the water is consistently pooling it might make sense, otherwise a line drain. I would suggest just capping the outlet if you cant slope out the drain anywhere though.

You could also place a big absorbent mop in the corner that you've diverted to.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
A thick bead of silicone seal also works well to divert.
