My landlady is now willing to pay a contractor to fix the water issue. I'm thinking this most likely is going to entail digging a small Trench in front of garage doors (2 car garage) and running a drain pipe with it. There's also two drain pipes that have been taken out to the yard and buried but they need to go further. If you have these skills please pm me serious inquiries only please.

Got the skills, but to quote a great philosopher, “I’m too old for that shit!”

What seems to be the problem? Where is the water coming from?

Sounds like a storm water issue. The garage sits too low. If there is ground lower than the garage, you can drain it by gravity. If you don't, a pump and pit is the answer.

Hi YD we never met but I heard Great things about you. My name is Nick..
I can assist you with your water/gutter/ grading problem if that’s still a problem.

I own a construction company. I’m actually installing French drains at a property that I’m currently working on.
Let me know.
Have a Great day
French drain needed for sure. Literally laying pipe. If you need help Nick YD might need two. Or a menage a trois.
