Cold air pours in under the garage door and the repair company can’t come until after New Year. What can I do now?

11. Quick Fixes for a Damaged or Crumbling Bottom Seal
If the bottom seal of your garage door is damaged, consider a temporary patch using duct tape or adhesive sealant. Clean the area thoroughly before applying the patch to ensure it adheres properly.
Alternatively, if you have access to a replacement seal, you can attempt a DIY replacement. Remove the old seal and slide the new one into place, securing it with screws or adhesive as needed. This can provide a more durable temporary solution until professional repairs are possible.
12. When to Call in a Pro and What to Ask Before They Arrive
While these temporary solutions can help mitigate cold drafts, it’s important to schedule professional repairs as soon as possible. When contacting a repair company, inquire about their availability, the cost of replacement parts, and whether they offer any warranty on their work.
