A garage door serves as a main entrance point for both residential and commercial buildings. These gadgets open and close hundreds of times each year, allowing you to leave your home or keep your business running smoothly. A garage door protects your family, house, personal possessions, and more, but only if the installation is tailored to your specific needs.
There is no such thing as a “one-size-fits-all” answer when it comes to garage doors. For safety and efficiency, residential and commercial structures require a custom-fit door. The state of Arizona is recognized for its properties with uneven slopes, and Arizona Garage Door Guru provides new garage doors on uneven properties to home and business owners in Arizona.
Why Do Garage Doors Have Sloped Floors?
When purchasing a piece of property, you might find that the garage flooring is on a slight angle. While this seems out of the ordinary, sloped garages are fairly common in the Arizona area. Your home or business could have sloped flooring for a number of reasons including:
-
Drainage for water/spills
-
Architecture of building
-
Weathering/warping
-
Cracks/separation of pavement
-
Plumbing system placement
Sloped garages can help your residential or commercial space in the event of a flood. However, it is important to inspect your garage door regularly to ensure components complement the angle of your uneven slope. Paying close attention to the condition of your garage door is pivotal in determining the best route for maintenance, repairs and replacements.
Signs You Need a Sloped Garage Door
We aim to inform our customers about the importance of garage door fitment. Even if the mechanical parts of your garage door system seem to function correctly, gaps between flooring and panels are areas of concern. No matter if you use a garage space for work, leisure or storage, the following warning signs indicate you need the help of a professional garage door replacement and installation:
-
Noticeable gaps: If you can see or stick fingers through the space between garage door panels and flooring, an uneven slope may be to blame. The technicians are happy to visit your site to inspect the angle of your flooring for a timely solution securing your home or business.
-
Weather damage: Uneven garage flooring puts your home or business at risk of inclement weather. Gaps the size of a quarter or half dollar are large enough for wind, rain and runoff to flow through your garage.
-
Appearance of rodents: Rodents are always in search of a safe place to hide. If you notice rodent droppings or bite marks, you require garage door services to seal gaps between flooring and panels.
-
Attempted burglaries: Garage doors with gaps are easy targets for breaking and entering. We help to improve the security of your home or business with custom installations for sloped floors.
-
Doors off track: Uneven flooring puts pressure on garage door components if not configured to the proper angle, and it can cause them to get off track.
Garage Doors on a Slope
We take the time to inspect your residential or commercial garage doors to ensure components are functional and properly aligned. If your garage door does not shut all the way, our technicians search for the most cost-effective solutions to satisfy your lifestyle and applications. Whether we are installing a brand new garage door for your facility or are returning for maintenance services, no one sets garage doors on a slope as neatly as professional services.
If you live in the San Francisco area, we understand that garage door gaps are unacceptable for functionality and curb appeal. Technicians at Arizona Garage Door Guru will engage in the following to correct unwanted openings:
-
Inspect tracking: Our experts look at the orientation of garage door placement along tracking. If mounting locations are not parallel, we can realign accordingly.
-
Analyze door seals/weatherstripping: Depending on the size of the gap between flooring and panels, we can replace weatherstripping on our Clopay doors.
Fortunately, this is able to install built-in garage door thresholds for sealing gaps in residential and commercial settings. The slope across your garage flooring or entry way may be enough to prevent doors from closing completely, but we focus on extensions for steel, glass, aluminum and wood materials.
