Garage Doors Installed On A Slope

A garage door is a primary entry point for homes and commercial businesses. These devices open and close hundreds of times throughout the year, allowing you to exit your residence or keep company operations right on schedule. A garage door helps to guard your family, home, personal belongings and more, but installations will only serve you well if they cater to your unique setup.

When it comes to garage doors, there is no such thing as a “one-size-fits-all” solution. Residential and commercial buildings require a custom-fit door for safety and efficiency. The state of California is known for properties with uneven slopes, and Door Pros serves home and business owners in San Francisco with new garage doors on uneven properties.

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 San Francisco 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

Door Pros aims 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 Door Pros for 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. Door Pros 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 Door Pros services to seal gaps between flooring and panels.
Attempted burglaries: Garage doors with gaps are easy targets for breaking and entering. Door Pros helps to improve the security of your home or business with custom installations for sloped floors.
