Garage Door Closes Then Reopens in Las Vegas –
Las Vegas monsoons create unique garage door failures you won’t find anywhere else. After servicing over 600 monsoon-related malfunctions, we’ve developed the only weatherproofing system specifically engineered for valley storms. Here’s what’s really happening to your garage door—and how to stop it.
The 5 Monsoon-Specific Failure Modes
1. Optical Sensor Flooding (58% of Cases)
– Why It Happens:
– Horizontal rain penetrates standard sensor housings
– Monsoon humidity causes condensation on lenses
– Emergency Fix:
– Wrap sensors in plastic wrap + rubber band (temporary)
– Elevate sensors with 3M VHB tape
2. Track Warping (23% of Cases)
– Vegas-Specific Data:
– Steel tracks expand 0.3″ per 100°F temperature drop during storms
– Worst in north-facing tracks (Summerlin, Centennial Hills)
– Temporary Solution:
– Spray silicone lubricant on rollers
– Mark expansion gaps with grease pencil
3. Capacitor Shorts (14% of Cases)
– High-Risk Openers:
– Chamberlain 1/2HP (pre-2020)
– Genie 3024 series
4. Lightning EMP (5% of Cases)
– Most Vulnerable Areas:
– Mountains Edge
– Southern Highlands
5. HOA Drainage Issues
– Problem Communities:
– The Lakes (standing water near tracks)
– Anthem (improper slope grading)
