Alright Issaquah, we made it. The rainy season is finally packing up its bags and moving along, and honestly—it’s about time. We’ve survived months of sideways rain, slippery driveways, and umbrellas flipping inside out like they’re auditioning for a comedy skit. But before you start planning those backyard barbecues and spontaneous hikes (that you'll probably cancel anyway because Netflix is calling), there’s something you need to check off your list—your gate.

Yeah, that’s right.
Your gate has been out there getting absolutely battered for months, and if you think it's still 100% good to go just because it's standing, I hate to break it to you—it’s not.
It’s time for a Gate Inspection & Assessment from A.D. Security Gate in Issaquah.


Why the End of Rainy Season is Prime Time for a Gate Check

You wouldn’t run a marathon and then just assume your knees are fine, right?
(Spoiler: They’re not.) Same logic applies here. After months of wet, cold, windy punishment, your gate needs a little TLC.

1. The Rain Wasn’t Just Falling—it Was Plotting

Issaquah rain is sneaky. It’s not just wet—it gets into every crevice, hinge, and tiny gap you didn’t know existed.

  • Rust? Oh, it's there.

  • Swollen wood? Absolutely.

  • Misaligned tracks? Like clockwork.
    Your gate might be barely holding it together like a college freshman during finals week. Don’t wait for a full meltdown in the middle of your summer plans.

2. Small Problems Are Waiting to Become Big Expensive Ones

If you think that "weird squeak" your gate is making is going to fix itself, I got some oceanfront property in Idaho to sell you.
Little issues turn into big repairs real fast, and once the sun’s out and you actually want to use your backyard regularly, you’re gonna be wishing you handled it sooner.

A quick inspection now = A small fix.
Waiting until it fully breaks = A big, fat, wallet-punching repair bill.

Your choice, Issaquah.


Top Issues We Catch During Gate Inspections

You might be wondering, "What’s even wrong with my gate? It looks fine."
Sure.
Until it doesn’t.

Here’s what we usually find during inspections after rainy season in Issaquah:

1. Rusted Hinges and Hardware

Moisture and metal go together about as well as pineapple on pizza. (Debatable. Not sorry.)
Rust builds up quietly, and once it sets in deep enough, your hinges, bolts, and brackets start to lose strength.
You don’t want to find out mid-summer that your gate is swinging like a saloon door in a Western movie.

2. Motor and Electrical Issues

If you’ve got an automatic gate, let me guess: it’s been a little... temperamental lately?
Maybe it opens slooooowly. Maybe it refuses to open at all sometimes like a stubborn teenager.
Moisture gets into the wiring, and if left unchecked, boom—sudden motor failure right when you need it.

3. Warped Tracks and Frames

Rain doesn’t just mess with metal. Wood gates swell and warp, and even metal frames can shift slightly when ground gets soggy and unstable.
Next thing you know, your gate’s grinding, sticking, and making noises that sound like it’s trying to communicate with you in Morse code.

4. Safety Sensor Failures

You know those little sensors that keep your gate from closing on your car, your kid, or your dog?
Yeah, when moisture ruins those, you’re basically operating a giant moving wall with a mind of its own.
Not ideal.


How A.D. Security Gate Handles Inspections in Issaquah

This isn’t some "walk by, poke it with a stick, and leave" situation.
We actually inspect your gate the way your doctor should inspect your knee after that one pick-up basketball game you should’ve retired from years ago.

Here’s what we do:

Full Structural Check – We inspect the entire frame, panels, posts, and foundation.
Hinge & Hardware Review – We check for wear, rust, weakness, and anything that could snap when you least expect it.
Motor and Wiring Tests – We test all electrical systems to make sure your gate isn’t about to ghost you one day.
Alignment and Track Assessment – We make sure your gate opens and closes like it’s supposed to—not on a curve like it’s trying to drift.
Safety Sensor Testing – Because it’s 2025, and your gate should be smarter than your old flip phone.
