It is also a trip hazard. It looks like water has already entered into the garage. I would say that this something to note, or you might be getting a call when the monsoon season arrives. |

Re: Driveway/garage slab
Not only 'ditto' to Scott's stuff, but adding 'something lifted that section' (or the house settled that much).
Are you in a freeze area? Or could it just have been large tree roots?

Re: Driveway/garage slab
It's hard to tell from the photo, but it appears that the door casing is cut on an angle, indicating that there is a pronounced slope to the outer edge of the garage slab to drain water away. If so, water entry into the garage may not be a problem. However, it is still a valid question why the drive is higher than the garage floor. Maybe sloppy work...maybe uplift from some source affected the drive.
