A snapped garage door cable in Chesapeake often follows a broken spring or years of wear. It needs prompt attention before the door comes off the tracks.

Living with Chesapeake's heat and humidity means garage doors work harder here than most people realize. storms surge opener boards and falling limbs dent panels both feed straight into a snapped garage door cable, which is why our Chesapeake (independent city) techs treat the cause, not just the door in front of them.

What might be wrong

Here's what our local techs check first — and what each one usually means.

Moisture corrodes cables until a strand lets go.
