Rain & Condensation — Vancouver's Leading Sensor Issue

Vancouver's constant rainfall causes condensation inside sensor housings, fogging the lens and breaking the safety beam. This is the most common cause of unexpected door reversals in Vancouver. We clean, reseal, and weatherproof sensor units to eliminate false triggers.

Strata Parkade Sensor Failures

Underground parkades in Vancouver strata buildings have sensors exposed to vehicle exhaust, dust, and drip water from wet vehicles. We service and realign these sensors with minimal disruption to building residents, coordinating with property managers.

New Build Sensor Alignment — Kitsilano & Yaletown

New construction in Vancouver's Kitsilano and Yaletown redevelopment zones sometimes has sensors that go out of alignment as the building settles in the first 1–2 years. We re-calibrate and weatherproof sensor pairs.

Weatherproof Sensor Upgrade

Upgrading to sealed, commercial-grade weatherproof sensor units dramatically reduces Vancouver's weather-related false triggers. We supply and install sensors rated for continuous outdoor exposure in BC's coastal climate.

FAQs — Sensor Repair in Vancouver

Why does my Vancouver garage door keep reversing when closing?

Reversing is most often caused by a broken or misaligned safety sensor beam. In Vancouver's wet climate, condensation fogging the sensor lens is the leading cause. Check that both sensor LEDs are solid (not blinking) and that the lenses are dry and unobstructed before calling.

Why do my garage door sensors fail more in rainy weather in Vancouver?

Vancouver's persistent rainfall creates condensation inside sensor housings, fogging the lens and scattering the beam. We seal sensor enclosures, install weatherproof gaskets, and can fit sealed sensor units rated for continuous moisture exposure.

Can I bypass the safety sensors on my Vancouver garage door?

No — safety sensors are required by BC building code and permanently bypassing them is both illegal and dangerous. If sensors are causing persistent problems, call us to repair them properly rather than circumventing a critical safety feature.
