Snow inside your garage can cause a lot of mess, as well as present safety issues due to wet and slick floors. Keeping it out can be a challenge for the homeowner.
With that in mind, here are four simple tips for keeping your garage dry and safe:
- Don’t let snow pile up against the door. Shovel it away and keep the area clear.
- Clear any drains near the garage door. Make sure they are clear of any leaves, twigs or other debris that can slow drainage.
- Brush snow off your vehicle before entering the garage.
- Add a SnirtStopper Seal to close the gaps around the garage door.
Simple advice, right?
But we know you are asking what is a SnirtStopper.
Okay, first of all, what is snirt? Traditionally, it is the unsightly and messy combination of snow and dirt that can blow underneath or through the edges of your poorly-sealed garage door.
In a broader sense, snirt also can be water/rain, leaves, bugs, mice, snow, grime and even snakes moving under your door or through the sides. Heat loss is also a major concern.
Check out the gaps in your current overhead door system to get an idea of the problem you are dealing with. Did you know that drafts can bring dirt, snow, ice, mud, plus heat and cooling loss through a space of 1/32nd of an inch? Bugs and spiders can creep through a space of only 1/16th of an inch. Mice can enter your garage area through a space the size of a pencil. It’s time to put a stop to all that infiltration.
