new pavers now garage has leaks
 
We just had pavers put on our driveway. Now our garage leaks. The water comes in through the spaces in the pavers that are under the garage door. Any ideas?

Raise the garage floor or lower the driveway.

Buy some black narrow carpet base (it's 2" or 2-1/2" wide) and glue it down at the edge of the garage concrete slab with a generous bead of silicone adhesive. That will create a flat surface for the garage door to seal against.

Who installed it?

Talk to your installer perhaps there's a quick fix but pacers shouldn't be installed on top of the existing driveway for this reason. Another way to tackle this if all else fails is to install trench drain in front of the garage door and draining to a drywell in the side yard. This could be expensive so hopefully there is a cheaper solution.Attachment 38838

I'd ask your neighbors how the paver installer did theirs. Lots of folks have 1" pavers installed over concrete drives so it's pretty common. See how their pavers are done at the garage door and then contact your installer and see if they will fix it.
