Small Area Grading/Drainage Advice

8 years ago

I live in an end unit town home with a detached garage in my back yard that floods due to poor grading. The garage sits in the back corner of the lot, in the corner of the rear and side boundary fences that we share with the neighbor. There is about a 2 ft. space between the garage and side fence that slopes toward the garage about 3-4 inches. Apart from sloping toward the garage, there is practically no uphill/downhill slope pushing water to the rear or front of the garage. I attached a diagram below to get an idea. How can I improve the grade or drainage to get the water away from my garage's side wall? The floor of the garage is wet every time there is serious rain or snow and there is a little water damage to the studs of the garage. Thanks!
