In this crazy weather where it rains and snows at the same time, many people have had to struggle with issues brought upon by the weather, like their garage doors freezing shut overnight.
Luckily, solving this issue is rather easy, and there are a few ways in which you can accomplish this task. For example, you can make sure your door is a bit floated off the ground, if the snow is not to thick this can be a practical, easy and practical solution. On the other hand, you can also use de-icer to fix the issue but you must be very careful if your bottom seal is made of rubber because it might suffer damage.
There’s also special seals that you can buy to prevent the bottom of your garage door from freezing over, either way, the solutions is up to you, but the important thing about this, is that you choose the one that better fits your particular case. Depending on the model of your garage door a different solution may be the most suitable.
The good thing is that winter is coming to an end soon, and you’ll have an entire year to prepare for next winter. Remember that it’s also necessary to keep your garage door and its surrounding areas clean and clear. Further, providing good maintenance for your garage door before and after the window is key to keeping things working well and avoid unnecessary headaches and repairs.
Additionally, before the next winter or right after this one is the perfect time to make a full check up of your garage door and an appropriate garage clean up to make sure you declutter, repair any potential damages winter might have caused and make sure your entire garage is appropriately insulated to avoid any further issues or damage to the things you store in your garage, including your car.
