Garage door questions, answered for Columbia

Columbia sits in a warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware. That is hard on a door — corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air, salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, and summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, and pitted galvanized hardware on older doors. We size springs and seals for Tennessee's humid subtropical region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.

The call we get most in Columbia is storm-driven debris and water in the tracks. Columbia has mainly suburban houses with attached two-car garages, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, so moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.
