The SituationA Fort Lauderdale (33301) homeowner requested a pre-season inspection to prepare for hurricane-force conditions and avoid storm-time breakdowns.

On-Site Diagnosis

3. Cleaned and aligned photo-eyes, confirmed UL 325 safety functions.

4. Installed new bottom seal and recommended battery backup for outages.
