More about this in Katy
A broken garage door sensor shows no indicator light at all, unlike a misaligned one that at least powers on and blinks. That usually points to a wiring break, a failed internal component, or physical damage to the unit itself rather than a simple alignment fix. The broader rundown of garage door repair Katy explains how these jobs get priced.

What makes a garage door sensor actually broken, not just misaligned
A misaligned sensor still lights up when power reaches it; it just can't see its pair. A truly broken sensor shows no light at all, which points to a power or wiring failure rather than anything that realignment alone would fix.
Flood-related garage door sensor damage near the reservoirs
Roughly 14,000 homes sat inside the Addicks and Barker reservoir pools when Hurricane Harvey made landfall, and more than a third of those flooded — sensors mounted low near the floor track in those homes are exactly the height most exposed to even shallow floodwater, and internal damage from that exposure can surface well after the fact.
A broken garage door sensor from a wiring break
Wiring that runs along the floor or up the door frame can fray or get pinched over years of vibration and incidental contact, cutting power to one sensor while the other continues working normally. If the symptoms do not quite match, the page on broken garage door opener in Katy, TX may be the one.
Replacing garage door sensors as a matched pair
Even when only one sensor has actually failed, replacing both as a matched pair is usually the more reliable approach, since sensors are designed to work together and mismatched units can behave unpredictably.
Age and garage door sensor failure across Katy
With Katy's median home built in 2010, original sensor units and their wiring have had over a decade to degrade in some homes. A broken garage door sensor replaced and recalibrated restores the door's full safety function.
