When your driveway starts sprouting weeds, pooling water, or sinking in patches, the bricks are not failing you. The layers underneath have moved, and they are trying to tell you exactly what went wrong.

What Your Garage Door Motor Actually Does (And Why It Breaks)

Spoiler alert: your garage door motor isn't actually doing the heavy lifting. The torsion springs carry almost all the weight. The motor simply pushes, pulls, controls the descent so it doesn't slam, and acts as a lock when the door is shut. That’s why a relatively small box on your ceiling can move such a massive door. Want to test this? Pull the red manual release cord and lift the door by hand. If it glides up easily and stays put when you let go, your springs are doing their job, and the fault lies with the motor. If the door feels like dead weight or slams back down- stop. You’ve got a spring problem.
