Repair Rotting Wood Without Replacing It
Repairing rotted wood instead of replacing it is sometimes the best option. First try to determine why the wood has become rotten and fix the cause. If the wood is structural (load bearing), most fillers are not strong enough to bear the load of a building.
Durham's Rock Hard Putty is an inexpensive way to repair rotted wood. The biggest short fall is that it can't be exposed to water. It must be covered with paint. Insure that the putty is fully dried before painting or covering with a layer of glue or silicone. If paint won't stay on the putty patch, then it is likely water is seeping into the putty.

    Very good info but in my case it didn't solve the problem. So I made minor adjustment in tank allowing more water for refill and then using my reliable plunger and using a technique I learned from a video years ago I plunged away and it finally cleared. You can't always rely on the standard plunger. I, thankfully purchased a 2ft. long one with 5 parallel compartments (plastic) that if you fill it with toilet water it gives the plunger extra force when you plunge. Go to home depot and look for something above average for future emergencies. Mine cost about ten bucks. Also I have a plastic like snake with teeth about a foot long to help unclog paper etc. Cost a couple of dollars.

      I presume you have it on the day or always setting? Is there any vegetation that blows in the wind? The combo of moving vegetation and the heat from sunlight filtering through the vegetation might do it. Also, something shiny reflecting light back into the sensor would also cause a false trip.
