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

Why does this keep happening in Roanoke? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Heat and humidity takes its toll — humidity corrodes hardware, and falling limbs dent panels — so a snapped garage door cable is one of the more common calls our Roanoke crews run.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your snapped garage door cable

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

A broken spring
When a spring fails, the cables take the strain and can snap next.
Rust and fraying
Moisture corrodes cables until a strand lets go.
Drum or pulley misalignment
A cable that jumps the drum frays and breaks.
How we fix it

Fixed fast by a local Roanoke pro

We replace the cables (and the spring if it failed), re-spool the drums, and balance-test the door.
