What humidity does to the seal
South Fulton, GA gets wet summers, sudden storms, and damp nights. A split bottom seal lets water and pests under the door. Side seals crack and let air past the jamb. That is a seal job, not automatically a new door.
If the panels are soft, rusted through, or the bottom section is swollen, a seal is a short delay. We will say so. See new door installation and humidity and rust.
Insulated doors
An insulated door helps a garage that shares a wall with a room, which is common in newer houses in Sandtown, Cliftondale, and Cooks Crossing. It does not make the springs last longer. Heavier insulated sections need the right spring. We do not guess the wire size from a photo on this page. Call and describe the door.
What we look at
- Bottom seal torn, flattened, or missing
- Daylight at the header or the sides
- Water line on the floor after a storm
- Panels that are rusted at the bottom, not just the rubber

FAQ
Will a new bottom seal stop water at the floor?
A new seal closes a gap on a level floor. It will not fix a door that is crooked or a slab that channels rain. We say which one you have before we sell a seal.
Does a new insulated door need new springs?
Often yes. A heavier door needs springs matched to the new weight. We include that in the install quote, not as a surprise after the old springs fail.
Can I replace the seal myself?
The bottom seal on a closed, balanced door is the one homeowner job that is usually safe. Do not take the door apart, and do not touch the springs to get the seal on.
