What causes garage door track damage in Memorial
A car bumper, a stray basketball, or someone leaning a ladder against the track is the most direct cause. Beyond that, track brackets that have loosened over years of daily use let the rail drift slightly out of alignment until the door starts to bind.
Rust as a source of garage door track damage
Memorial sits directly east of the Addicks and Barker Reservoirs, and the Army Corps of Engineers opened the reservoir spillways between midnight and 2 a.m. on August 28, 2017, flooding neighborhoods east of the dams, including Memorial. Track hardware that sat in that water, with Buffalo Bayou gauges registering a record 62.7 feet during the same storm, often rusted from the inside out over the years that followed.
