How a garage door jumps its channel along Buffalo Bayou
Buffalo Bayou forms the southern border of Piney Point Village, and during Hurricane Harvey the USGS gauge on the bayou at Piney Point Village recorded a peak flow of 424 cubic meters per second, with discharge above 250 cubic meters per second sustained for 24 straight days. That kind of prolonged high water reaches well past the bayou's normal banks, and garages closest to it took on hardware corrosion that doesn't show up as a jammed track until years later, when a roller that's lost its smooth spin finally jumps the rail.
A garage door track loosened by decades of settling, not just water
Piney Point Village's housing stock is relatively young for the Memorial Villages — the median home here dates to 1986 — but four decades is still enough time for wall brackets to work loose from ordinary vibration and seasonal ground movement, independent of anything the bayou has done. A track that's slightly out of plumb from that slow drift is the track most likely to let a roller wander off the rail on an otherwise ordinary day. A close cousin of this fault is covered on the page about garage door not working repair in Piney Point Village.
What forcing a garage door off track actually breaks
