I would be checking why the water did not drain out through the bottom of the garage door. At one point many years back all garage floors had to have a run on them to allow spilled fluids like petrol to run outside and not build up, they may have been only for garages attached to houses. It was pre 1990.
;D ;D

My sister-in-law phoned me for help with a burst pipe to the outside tap, she couldn't find her stop cock ...... no titering at the back. I've just removed the burst bit for the time being and used a spare ball valve till the weather gets warmer. :y :y :y

HI Mantahatch,its a compton sectional type garage,so it needs a fillet of cement along the bottom of the walls to stop water coming in(usually),and theres a lip on the bottom of the door to stop it being forced.
So its a bit of a bugger to drain.

Forgot to say,the cars tyres were frozen to the garage floor this morning.

Fair enough, they need a reasonable level floor and would have been exempt from those rules.
Hope you get it sorted ok. :y
