Not speaking on his behalf....but from my research water can and will get under it but it will dry out and run out.

FWIW - This summer I finally decided to do something with my garage floor and so far I am very happy with the results. I spent a lot of time researching different options and costs and finally went with http://www.bigfloors.com/shop/garagetrac/  They have sales usually around Thanksgiving and in the spring which makes the tiles a little more affordable. I ran carpet tiles where I stand and walk a lot and it seems to work well for me. The wife & I knocked it out in a weekend. 

Looks great.   Will you be parking a daily driver on it this winter?

Beautiful garage!  The floor looks very nice but I was wondering about moisture getting underneath the tiles.  When you lift it up is it wet underneath?  Another for me it hosing it down. If it gets wet does water seap through the cracks?      

Thanks!! I am very happy with it.
The tiles are designed so that water can flow under them and with the garage slope any water should run towards the doors. I have checked under them and its always very dry, even with the humidity changes. But, so far I have not tested this with a hose or any major spill. The real test will be this winter when I park my truck on it after a snow fall and the snow melts onto the floor. I assume any water will run between the tiles and drain towards the doors, but we will see.

Nice, notice you have two different lifts, which one you like better. Any pros & cons between the two.

Big differences between the 2 lifts. The blue one in the background is a BendPac lift and is really well made and designed. It is one that I would highly recommend to anyone that works on and under cars often. Since I really enjoy wrenching on cars it is my workhorse that I count on to do many things. The Atlas is a Chinese made lift that I would describe as a lift to use for parking a car under another one. It was considerably less expensive and does the job, but it is not a quality piece and I would not recommend it to anyone who would use it to work on cars. As a basic car parking lift its fine, and does exactly what I need it to do.

I have owned the BendPac for 9 years now and never had a single issue; the Atlas I have owned for 3 years and its already started to leak some hydraulic oil at the pump - and that's with light use! So, if your shopping for a lift, spend the extra and get something that will last, and give you less headaches.
