A blinking garage door sensor in Sioux Falls almost always means the two photo-eyes aren't seeing each other. It's usually a quick alignment or cleaning.

Living with Sioux Falls's sub-zero cold means garage doors work harder here than most people realize. freeze-thaw warps tracks and road salt corrodes hardware both feed straight into a garage door sensor blinking, which is why our Minnehaha County techs treat the cause, not just the door in front of them.
