    Sand bagged it or do what we did. We broke up the drive way in from of the garage and dug a trench, we have never had a problem since.

    Beer, I had the same prob. I used a torch, 2 inch piece of cold rolled steel and a big hammer, laying the steel at the edge of the cement floor and beating a slight indention with the hammer. Worked great for me with little cost. I owned a torch but have seen them at Lowers rather cheap. Good luck

    You don't say weather the door is tight to the floor or if has a rubber seal at the bottom.

    If not you can put one on very easily..

    If this is not the problem describe the situation.
