Hello,

Our driveway was just paved last week. The height of the paving is flush with the screed height of the garage. In some places, it is about 1-2 mm higher. The screed is finished on the outside with a very sturdy steel angle.

Is this implementation normal and also correct? I would have actually expected the paving to be a bit lower, at least about 1 cm lower. Currently, water runs somewhat into the garage when it rains, even though the paving should actually have a slope away from the garage... Some puddles of water always remain on the pavement when it rains, and at the same height, it simply runs under the gate! It is a "sectional door" with a rubber seal at the bottom.

What do you think? Or to ask differently: Is this a defect? Or do I have to accept it? How could the area at least be sealed? A few drops are no problem, when I drive in with a wet car, I also have that. But at the moment, it is too much for me!

Thank you!

Has the [Pflaster] even been compacted yet?

yes, it has already been compacted. And the so-called "Betonschwelle," meaning the part of the floor slab that protrudes in front of the gate (I know, it could have been done more intelligently), was laid with granite slabs in trass cement. Unfortunately, another round of vibrating won't help.....

nice crap..
In my assessment, the colleague will not admit this voluntarily. But if there is no emergency solution to fix the water problem, well then I don't feel like being annoyed about it for the next 30 years and will leave it as it is. So, into the fight! ...

Hello,

Water must/should of course not enter the garage. Have you already clarified it and what does the company that carried out the work say? Normally, you do have the right to a repair, you just have to set a reasonable deadline.

Regards
Sunny
