Should New Lebanon homeowners check their garage door’s fire seal after a humid summer?
New Lebanon’s summer humidity can swell wooden garage door panels and degrade rubber seals, creating gaps that let in sparks or embers. A compromised seal isn’t just a fire risk—it’s a code violation under New York’s residential safety standards. If you notice daylight under the door or a musty smell near the threshold, the seal may need replacement. Carlos & Miguel’s certified technicians can test and replace seals to meet local fire prevention codes our full service list. Don’t wait for a summer storm to reveal the damage.
