just be careful cutting the concrete and installing the drain after the fact.
I just had a driveway installed in front of my garage, and they put drains in front of my doors.
two things they told me they do:
1- put the drains a few feet out from the door. in the event of a massive downpour, it does not puddle at the garage door, but a few feet away.
2- they made the concrete around the drains incredibly thick. I mean the concrete around my drains is probably over a foot thick in certain places. if you cut existing concrete it is never going to be that thick around the drains, so you may have to watch for cracking. I've seen driveways near my house done the same way.
in order to mirror the installations I have seen around me, you would need to bust up approx. 3' out from garage. in the center of that dig the drain "ditch" to place the drain in. in my driveway they allowed for a min of 8" concrete under the drain. so my concrete is 14" thick around the drain.
also, as far as pipe failing. I've had my gutters and French drains run thru underground pipe for probably 40 years (long before I owned the place) and there has never been an issue with water and any freezing. this is in PA.

The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
