Yes — always. When a torsion spring breaks, the door's weight is no longer supported. Using the opener to force the door causes motor damage. Manual lifting is dangerous because the door can be 200+ pounds without spring counterbalance. In Richmond, we prioritize broken spring calls and respond same-day.

Q: How does Richmond's flooding risk affect my garage door?
MODERATE -- Brazos River flooding. 2016 and Harvey floods affected low-lying areas. New developments have improved drain. Water intrusion into a garage corrodes springs and cables from the bottom up, shorts out opener circuit boards, and leaves rust deposits on tracks. Many Richmond homeowners don't realize their opener failed from water damage until months after a flood event. Post-flood inspection is recommended.

Replace when: cumulative repair costs exceed 50% of a new door ($510+), the door is 15+ years old with multiple failures, structural panels are damaged beyond individual replacement, or HOA has flagged the door for condition.
