Standing water on carport

I have a lowspot that's 3/4 of an inch lower than the rest. Worse, the 24x60 slab somehow pools water to this one point.
I've cut trenches half inch deep from the pooling area to the edges. But they are a half inch deep...and there is more than a half inch variation from edge to this spot.
Worse, the spot edges against the house.
Short of demoing it all and doing it over... What can I do?
I'm not opposed to having a drain put in at that point, I'm just not sure of the logistics of running 15ft under the slab to get to it.

Where is the water coming from? My carport has a roof

I have a similar issue. It appears that one section of driveway "settled" and now a heavy rain some water backs up into the garage (flat entry no bump or elevation from driveway to garage). Did not think to check this when buying. I am thinking about a french drain or something.

Core a hole in the center/ deepest spot, use a shop vac get as much dirt out and make a french drain with that? Put a drain cover on top to class it up. Won't do anything if the whole slab fills up but it should drain enough for what you have.

The north and south sides when the wind blows. Open for at least a half mile in each direction.

Can the slab be sanded?
