Rain Sensor Installation in Cape Coral, FL
Rain Sensors Built Around Cape Coral Requirements
A working rain sensor responds to rainfall by interrupting scheduled watering when enough rain has fallen. Coastal Irrigation & Plumbing installs, replaces, programs, and tests these devices for residential and commercial irrigation systems in Cape Coral.
Our family-owned business has served Southwest Florida since 2002. We understand how rain sensors fit into local watering requirements, and we plan each installation around controller compatibility and weather sensor placement.

Florida & Cape Coral Rain Sensor Requirements
Florida Statute 373.62 requires automatic landscape irrigation systems to properly install, maintain, and operate technology, such as a rain sensor device or switch, that interrupts watering during periods of sufficient moisture. The rain shutoff device must override the watering cycle after adequate rainfall.
The statute also sets obligations for licensed contractors working on automatic irrigation systems. A contractor must test the rain sensor and install or repair it when the device is missing or faulty before completing other irrigation work.
Cape Coral Ordinance 46-23 includes a similar requirement. Licensed contractors must test rain sensors and other devices that inhibit or interrupt irrigation, then install or repair a missing or nonworking device before finishing other work on the system.
How a Rain Sensor Works
A rain sensor monitors rainfall and signals the irrigation controller when conditions meet its shutoff setting. The controller pauses the watering program until the sensor dries and permits scheduled operation again. This function works independently of the programmed watering schedule.

Our Cape Coral Rain Sensor Installation Process
We begin with a free estimate for the work under consideration. Our planning covers the existing controller, a suitable mounting area, and the installation needs of the weather sensor.
After installing the device, we program the controller to work with it. We then test every irrigation zone and check sensor performance to confirm how the completed setup responds during testing.
Our team maintains, services, and repairs residential and commercial irrigation systems across makes and models. If an existing device is damaged or no longer interrupts watering, we can assess it for rain sensor repair or replacement in Cape Coral.
As an authorized Hunter Industries dealer, we offer Hydrawise Wi-Fi Irrigation Controllers with weather-based adjustments and remote access. We can discuss a controller upgrade when those functions suit the property, but it isn’t required for every rain sensor installation.

I give the person who is doing my service a 10 out of 10. I am very happy with his work, it is clear that he likes his job and has experience in his work. I would tell his manager that I congratulate him for having a good employee. Thank you for your good service.

I called Coastal Irrigation and they made me an appointment the very same day. What a surprise. I had Torie and Patrick out to service our irrigation system. They divided and conquered and got my system running again in no time. They were professional and efficient. The price was very reasonable. I highly recommend this company. No pressure sales.- Dave O.

Stacy did an excellent job. Found issues and resolved them. Courteous, friendly and professional. Best of all, Stacy is a Michigan fan! All the technicians at Coastal Irrigation have done a fantastic job! I have 100% confidence in Coastal Irrigation. My home is 12 years old, and the previous owner never had a quarterly maintenance program. What a mistake; if you want an system that operates problem free, get Coastal Irrigation.- Bruce Y.
