Why a garage door jumps its track after standing water

A door only needs one roller to catch wrong for it to walk out of the channel, and standing water is one of the fastest ways to get there. Rainstorms on January 9 and January 25, 2012, put four feet of water on Kemwood Drive in Hunters Creek Village after a shared drainage culvert under Hedwig Road got narrowed from 36 inches down to about 8 inches, backing water up into yards along the street. Hardware that sits in water like that for even a day comes out of it corroded at the roller stems and track brackets, and corroded hardware is exactly what lets a door jump its channel months later on an ordinary close.
