Richmond's rain and marine condensation trigger false reversals and sensor faults constantly. We clean, realign and replace safety sensors same day across all Richmond neighbourhoods.
Richmond's relentless rainfall and sea-level humidity are the primary causes of sensor faults locally. Moisture on lens faces triggers false reversal — we clean, seal and properly angle sensors to prevent reoccurrence.
Even slight displacement from vibration or impact causes the sensor beam to misalign. We realign both photoelectric eyes and test the full safety reversal cycle.
Below-grade parkades in Brighouse and Aberdeen towers experience the worst condensation of any Richmond property type. We service common-area entry sensors and provide strata documentation.
If cleaning and realignment don't resolve the fault, we replace sensor units. We stock OEM-compatible sensors for LiftMaster, Genie, Chamberlain and major brands.
We don't just replace sensors — we address why they're failing. In Richmond, that usually means improving drainage away from sensor mounts.
After any sensor work we run a complete safety reversal test to confirm compliance with DASMA standards.
OEM-compatible sensors for all major opener brands carried on every truck.
Rain splashing on the sensor lens or condensation fogging the photoelectric eye causes the safety beam to break intermittently. We clean the lens, check the seal and reposition sensors to prevent water pooling.
No — defeating the safety beam is dangerous and against building code. Call us for a same-day sensor fix instead.
Most BC strata bylaws require sensors to meet DASMA safety standards. We ensure compliance and provide documentation for strata records.
Most sensor repairs take 30–60 minutes including cleanup and safety testing.
