Professional Garage Door Weather Seal Replacement Services
Your garage door has many jobs to do. One of the most important tasks is to keep your property secure from animals, insects, and weather. When it’s in good condition, your garage door weather seal is integral to that process. When it’s not, we can help.
What is a Garage Door Weather Seal?
A garage door weather seal is a long piece of filling material that secures the gaps around all sides of your garage door. This provides a greater barrier between your garage door and whatever lies outside.
Many people think that weather stripping isn’t necessary because their garage isn’t heated and cooled. However, there’s more to garage door weather seals than just keeping out the heat and cold, which is certainly valuable on its own.
Extreme heat or cold seeping through your garage doors can cause damage to the property inside your garage over time. Equally as important, keeping those extreme temps away from your garage prevents them from leaking into your home’s interior, saving energy costs.
Weatherstripping Keeps the Outdoors Out of Your Garage
In addition to keeping your garage protected from temperature extremes, your garage door weather seal also prevents entrance for:
- Rats and mice
- Loose stones
- Leaves
- Dirt
- Insects
- Heavy rain
Insects, rats, and mice can carry disease, and pooling water in your garage can lead to mold. A properly functioning garage door weather seal does more than protect your property. It protects your family as well.
How to Assess Your Garage Door Weather Seal
Because of the nature of what they do, garage door weather seals degrade over time. Regularly accessing your weather seal for damage can save time and money on more expensive repairs and issues down the line.
To inspect your weather seals, check the following:
Peeling and Sagging
Inspect where the seal attaches to the bottom of the garage door. A peeling or sagging weather seal isn’t adequately adhered and, therefore, can’t function correctly.
Flacking and Cracking
Look for flacking or cracking along the weather seal. Even the smallest damaged area can allow access for weather, animals, and insects, which can wreak havoc on your property and carry disease.
Damage and Rot
Check where the weatherstripping attaches to the header and door jambs. If the header or jambs are damaged or rotten, this will prevent proper sealing of your garage door.
