An 88 percent flood town and what that does to a garage door track

Garage door that jumped its track in Shoreacres, TX: a high lift track conversion

Shoreacres carries a flood statistic few towns its size can match: 88% of homes took on damage when Hurricane Ike came ashore near Galveston on September 13, 2008. Track hardware mounted low, near the floor, is exactly where floodwater sits longest, and rust that set in back then can still be the reason a roller finally slips its channel today, more than a decade and a half later.

A small footprint means direct exposure for every garage door

At just 0.97 square miles, with nearly 6% of that being open water, very little of Shoreacres sits far from the bay. Doors here take wind and moisture more directly than doors set deep inside a landlocked subdivision, and that raises the odds of a garage door off track problem showing up from age and exposure alone.

What decides whether a garage door track gets reset or replaced

A rail that's simply been knocked out of true can be pulled back into alignment and resecured in a single visit. A rail with an actual crease or dent has to be swapped out, because a bent section will keep working the rollers loose no matter how many times it gets reset.

Leave a garage door off track exactly where it stopped
