Side mount garage door opener — Atlanta, GA

In Atlanta's humid climate, garage door bottom seals can degrade over time due to moisture and temperature fluctuations, leading to cracking or becoming brittle. This compromised seal allows water to enter the garage during heavy rains, potentially causing water damage and promoting mold growth. Dust and debris infiltration can also be an issue if the seal is no longer creating a tight barrier. Regular inspection and replacement are key.
