Sydney’s spring and summer storms bring wind-driven rain, flash flooding and power cuts — and your garage door is often the largest opening on your home. A little preparation now prevents water damage, wind damage and getting locked out during an outage.
Storm-season checklist
- Check the weather seals — the bottom rubber and side seals stop wind-driven rain from flooding the garage. Cracked or flattened seals should be replaced.
- Test wind resistance — loose panels, worn rollers or a poorly balanced door are more likely to fail in high wind. A service tightens and checks everything.
- Know your manual release — during a blackout, the emergency release cord lets you open the door by hand. Test it now so you are not stuck in a storm.
- Consider a battery backup opener — useful if outages are common in your area.
- Clear the tracks and drainage — leaves and debris cause jams and let water pool.
