Should I replace seals myself or hire a professional?
While some homeowners attempt DIY replacement, professional installation ensures proper fit, alignment, and long-term effectiveness.
Can water damage my garage door?
Yes. Over time, moisture can damage panels, hardware, and internal components, requiring more extensive repairs.
Do I need a threshold seal if I already have a bottom seal?
In many cases, yes. Threshold seals provide extra protection, especially if your driveway slopes toward the garage or you experience heavy rain.
How long do garage door bottom seals last?
Most bottom seals last between 3 and 5 years, depending on weather exposure and usage. Harsh winters can shorten their lifespan.
What is the best way to keep water out of a garage?
The most effective solution is a combination of a high-quality bottom seal and a properly installed threshold seal. Together, they create a tight barrier against water.
