We here in Southeast Louisiana are sadly no strangers to flooding and heavy rains.
We've all witnessed the devastation that water can have on our neighborhoods, homes and businesses. But it doesn't take a hurricane or massive rainstorm to cause damage on your residential or commercial garage door. Prolonged exposure to water is enough to wreak havoc on the integrity of your door.
Often times, the water damage is secluded to the bottom portion of the door, which is typically some type of overhang designed to allow the door to clear the driveway/concrete without getting stuck. But it's not uncommon to see water damage arise in the door jambs or headers, either.
Yet even if the damage is isolated to a specific area of the door, replacing the entire door is typically your best option, but that's not always the case.
A garage door specialist can help you determine the extent of your water damage and your best course of action moving forward. In helping you decide your next steps, your garage door specialist will factor in:
- The immediate costs of replacement or repair
- The long term impact of either option (often times a repair will require more work down the line)
At American Garage Door of Louisiana, our primary concern is helping our customers regain the security and integrity of their doors quickly and effectively, which is why we offer rot and termite repair to all types of garage doors found throughout St. Tammany and Tangipahoa parishes.
