Why a garage door repair company in Thompsons deals with corrosion more than most

Thompsons covers 8.3 square miles, and nearly 41% of that — 3.4 square miles — is water, most of it Smithers Lake sitting alongside the W.A. Parish Power Plant. That much standing water next to every structure in town means humidity is a constant, and constant humidity works on unprotected metal garage door hardware — springs, tracks, hinges — faster than it does in the drier stretches of the county. A repair company that doesn't account for that ends up replacing the same corroded part twice.

The Brazos River burst its banks during Hurricane Harvey and Thompsons flooded within hours, damaging most homes in the roughly 200-person community so badly that residents could only reach their houses by boat.

Any garage door repair company called out to an older Thompsons property should be checking for exactly that before quoting a simple fix.
