What's different about Flour Bluff

Water on three sides. Flour Bluff is the part of Corpus Christi on the Encinal Peninsula, between Corpus Christi Bay to the north, Oso Bay to the west and the Laguna Madre to the east. Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, on the north end of the Bluff, describes itself as "surrounded on three sides by water," and has trained Navy pilots there since 1941. For a garage door, that geography means salt.

What that does to hardware. FEMA's coastal corrosion bulletin, which the City of Corpus Christi posts for builders, says salt spray is heaviest within the first 300 to 3,000 feet of the shoreline, and that onshore winds and humidity keep metal damp longer and speed corrosion. The American Galvanizers Association reports galvanized steel within a mile of the coast rusting within 5 to 7 years on surfaces exposed to salty wind. In Flour Bluff, plan on checking the springs, lift cables, roller bearings and bottom brackets more often than you would inland. HomeAdvisor lists rust among the three most common reasons garage doors break.

Some of the area's strongest storm gusts. When Harvey came ashore in 2017, the National Weather Service's peak gust list for the Corpus Christi area included 81 mph 4 miles east-southeast of Flour Bluff, plus 75 mph at points 3 miles south and 7 miles southeast of it. The same list shows 63 mph in Corpus Christi. During Hurricane Hanna in 2020, the National Hurricane Center reported a 57-knot gust (about 66 mph) at the Naval Air Station.

Storm water nearby. NOAA's Harvey records note storm tides of 4 to 6 feet affecting homes on neighboring Padre Island from the Laguna Madre. If salt water ever reaches your garage, have the lowest parts of the door checked even if it still runs.

City permits and TWIA. Because Flour Bluff is inside Corpus Christi, permits come from the city's Development Services at (361) 826-3240, and the city's homeowner permitting guide lists replacing a garage door as permitted work. Flour Bluff is also in Nueces County, part of the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association's coverage area. Before replacing a door, ask your insurance agent or the Texas Department of Insurance at (800) 248-6032 whether the job needs a windstorm inspection.

Before you get in touch

Look for rust on the springs and broken strands on the cables near the bottom corners, without touching them.
Note whether the door runs crooked or heavy.
If a storm or water damaged the door, take photos before any repair.
If you're replacing the door, call your insurance agent about the windstorm question first.

Common questions

Is Flour Bluff part of Corpus Christi for permits?

Yes. Flour Bluff is part of the city of Corpus Christi, so city permits come from Corpus Christi Development Services, (361) 826-3240. The city's homeowner permitting guide lists replacing a garage door as work that needs a permit.

My springs are only a few years old and already rusty. Is that normal here?

Rust shows up fast this close to salt water. FEMA's coastal corrosion bulletin says salt spray is heaviest within 300 to 3,000 feet of the shoreline, and much of Flour Bluff is near the water. Surface rust isn't a failure by itself, but flaking or pitting on the coils is worth having checked.

Should I check my garage door after a storm even if it works?

Yes, especially if water got into the garage. Ask for the bottom brackets, the lower ends of the cables and the lowest rollers to be checked, since salt water sits right there. Photograph any damage before repairs.
