North Vancouver's constant rain and high humidity cause condensation to form on sensor lenses — the leading cause of false reversals on the North Shore. We clean both lenses, inspect for moisture infiltration into the sensor housing, and seal connections with weatherproof silicone to prevent recurrence through BC's long rainy season.
North Shore garages on sloped lots experience gradual floor settlement that slowly walks sensor brackets off the beam axis. We realign sensors after settlement, use vibration-resistant mounts, and set alignment with tolerance to accommodate ongoing hillside movement in Lynn Valley, Deep Cove, and Capilano.
Coastal moisture corrodes sensor wire insulation, connector pins, and mounting brackets in North Vancouver homes over time. Corroded connections cause intermittent failures that are hard to diagnose by sight. We trace wiring from sensor to opener, replace corroded connections with weatherproof terminals, and reseal all mounting points.
Sensors damaged by moisture infiltration or coastal corrosion need replacement. We install sensors in waterproof housings with sealed cable entries — significantly more durable than stock sensors in North Vancouver's wet environment, and far less likely to fail during the rainy season when you need them most.
BC-certified with years of experience on the North Shore's unique hillside properties and coastal conditions.

Heavy rain and humidity cause water droplets to form on sensor lenses, scattering the infrared beam and triggering a false obstacle signal. Corroded sensor wiring and hillside floor settlement that shifts sensor brackets are also common North Shore causes. We clean, re-align, and upgrade sensors to waterproof-rated units.
Wipe the sensor lenses dry with a clean cloth, then check for the alignment indicator lights. If the issue recurs with every rain event, the sensor housing is likely not sealed for North Shore humidity. We install weatherproof sensor housings designed specifically for BC's coastal climate.
No — bypassing or disabling safety sensors is illegal under BC building code and creates a serious hazard. We restore sensors to full working order safely and quickly.
Available 24/7. No call-out fee. Serving all North Vancouver neighbourhoods, West Vancouver & the North Shore.
