As West Covina’s summer heat peaks, your garage door works overtime. Small issues like misaligned tracks or worn springs can turn into big problems. We’ve seen too many homeowners face emergency repairs in August because they ignored early signs. Don’t wait—check your door now.
Why West Covina’s August heat stresses garage doors more than you think
West Covina’s summer temps often hit 95°F+ by August, and that heat expands metal parts in your garage door. We’ve noticed a 30% spike in calls for misaligned tracks and broken springs during this month alone. Even a slight imbalance can worsen under heat stress, leading to costly repairs. Check your door’s balance now before the next heatwave hits. If your door feels heavier or sags when opening, it’s time to call us at Andrew White Garage Door Repairs Inc.
The 3-minute August garage door safety check every West Covina homeowner should do
Grab a flashlight and check these three things: 1) Listen for grinding noises when opening—West Covina’s dusty summer air clogs tracks fast. 2) Look for gaps between the door and frame—even a ¼-inch gap can invite pests. 3) Test the auto-reverse: place a 2x4 on the ground and close the door. If it doesn’t stop and reverse, you need repairs. Book a free safety inspection before your next BBQ at the Covina Hills. We’ll spot issues you might miss.
