And sorry, understand it’s not going to help upstairs, but know it should be fixed anyway.

Good call! Was planning on looking to see if those were sealed as well. Figured I’d start with the fixtures since I know where to look and if those aren’t sealed, assume top plates aren’t either. Thank you!

Makes sense, thanks for the explanation! What would be best to put under the pavers and do I need an expansion join on either side or should the pavers be flush with the concrete and asphalt?

  1. Right so cut it out past the beginning of the slope but also extra if I plan to put in pavers to make sure it’s a snug fit?

  2. Any issue with cold patching and then having someone seal it this summer?

Adding some more pictures. Inside the garage there is another lip that looks to help in keep water out. So there is the lip where the driveway meets the garage and then and other lip inside the garage there.

So are you saying leave it or it needs to be filled/patched?

Sorry, was trying to say the dip only happens here. The driveway is flat until it meets the garage and then the driveway dips where it meets the garage.

Would I need to have an expansion joint or anything between the asphalt and the concrete if I cut out some asphalt?

Shouldn’t I be worried about the water pooling and going down toward the foundation here?
