Garage door cables fail for one of three reasons in West University Place, TX: frayed strands from age and humidity (most common in West U Triangle and West U Triangle, Belmont, Colonial Terrace), one cable jumped off the drum after a spring imbalance, or a snapped cable from a sudden over-extension. Lemus replaces cables on the truck — both sides at once for safety, with re-tensioned drums and a balance check before we leave. Most West University Place cable jobs finish in 60 minutes. We carry the standard West University Place, TX-spec cable sizes (1/8-inch and 3/16-inch, looped and ball-end) so we don't need a parts run. Service call $49 (credited), labor 90-day warranty. Coverage: West U Triangle, Belmont, Colonial Terrace and out to Bellaire. Call (281) 906-4783.

Garage door cable repair usually warns you before the door fails completely. Most West University Place homeowners call once the door has stopped — but catching these signs early keeps a small fix from becoming a big one.
When a lift cable snaps or slips off the drum, that side of the door drops. A door hanging unevenly is a clear cable failure and should not be operated.
Cables fray strand by strand before they break. A frayed cable hanging slack is a warning — replace it before it snaps completely.
A cable that's come off the drum or wrapped wrong will jam the door. Forcing it makes the tangle worse and can damage the drum.
A cable under tension snapping makes a sharp sound, and the door immediately loses its even lift. This is a same-day repair for us.

Cables fail from rust, fraying against a worn drum, age, or the shock load of a broken spring. West University Place's humidity accelerates rust, which is the most common cause we see.
Both — the second cable is the same age and condition as the one that failed, so replacing the pair prevents a repeat call within months.
A standard cable replacement takes 45-60 minutes, a bit longer if we're replacing worn drums or inspecting the spring system at the same time.
Yes — cable repairs carry our 90-day labor warranty, and the new cables and drums carry their own coverage.
