What this repair is
A rain sensor that never interrupts is usually bypassed at the controller, mounted under a soffit, or swollen shut from last year’s storm. A sensor that never lets the system run is stuck wet or wired as a closed loop on an open-loop panel.
We mount sensors in the open, on a gutter edge or a dedicated stake, not behind a second-story eave. Wireless units need a battery and a clear path to the receiver.
This is often bundled with a controller tune-up. If the sensor is fine and the program still waters at noon, that is a programming visit.
What homeowners usually call about
- System waters in a thunderstorm
- System never waters because the sensor is stuck
- Jumper still in place from install
- Wireless sensor battery dead
- Sensor in the eaves never sees rain
- HOA requires a working sensor
How the visit goes
- Test interrupt Wet the disks or press the test. Stations should skip.
- Check the bypass Many Bedford installs never pulled it.
- Replace and relocate Where rain hits, not where the ladder was convenient.
- Confirm a storm skip We simulate, then you watch the next storm cell.
