Overhead Door Diagnostic Matrix
Match your garage door's physical symptoms with probable mechanical causes, urgency level, and certified field resolutions:
| Observed Symptom | Probable Root Cause | Urgency Level | Professional Resolution |
|---|---|---|---|
| High Energy Bills & Freezing Garage | Uninsulated single-layer pan door or deteriorated perimeter weatherstripping | Energy Efficiency | Install R-16 injected polyurethane steel door with triple-fin vinyl seals |
| Rotting Wood or Severe Panel Rust | Long-term moisture exposure, road salt corrosion, or dry rot | Structural Failure | Replace with galvanized hot-dipped steel or corrosion-resistant aluminum doors |

Southwestern Ontario Weather & Climate Factor:
Lake St. Clair and Detroit River winter winds drive severe heat loss through poorly insulated garage doors. Our R-12 to R-18 polyurethane sandwich doors keep attached rooms warmer and prevent car battery drain during sub-zero Ontario freezes.
