Backflow Preventer Repair in Hockley
Where Hockley yards are on a public meter, the backflow is the brass at the house. Wells do not use the same assembly. We identify which water you have before we quote brass.
West Cypress and newer 290 lots are often on a meter with a PVB or RPZ. Acreage on a private well usually is not. The repair and the paperwork are different, and we do not pretend they are the same visit.
On metered houses we rebuild or replace the device and leave it ready for a licensed test. We do not stamp the test ourselves.
Grass, soil, and housing on this side of town
Grass. Bermuda on acreage, St. Augustine in newer subdivisions St. Augustine wants a deep soak. Bermuda forgives a miss for a day. Mixing them on one valve is how one strip stays swampy and the other crunches.
Soil. Hockley loam and sandy clay, wells on acreage, some meters on newer 290 lots Hockley sand and iron pack screens, and long laterals lose pressure at the far rotor. We flush and measure before we sell a bigger pump.
Housing. Acreage, barns, and newer houses along US 290 Typical irrigation failures here: well pressure at the last rotor, iron in the screens, barn timers, long laterals

How a visit works
- Walk the yard We run every zone in Hockley. A dry strip, a mist, and a head that never comes up are three different repairs.
- Find the fault Heads, valves, underground pipe, and the low-voltage wire. Hockley wells push sand and iron through long laterals. The last rotor is the test.
- Repair We replace the part that failed. Spray heads stay with spray heads. Rotors stay with rotors.
- Set the timer Night watering, rest between cycles, rain sensor on. Noon misting is not a program.

- Pattison shops full of dust and a blank clock — Mice and dust kill more shop panels than lightning. Open it before you replace it.
- A Pattison pump that will not kick off — Shut the irrigation valve at the tank. Call before the motor cooks.
- Flush the iron before August — Screens, the last rotor, and a pump start that does not reboot the clock. That is the seasonal visit.
- West Cypress meters next to Hockley wells — The subdivision has a backflow. The acreage next door has a tank. We stock for the one you have.
- A Pattison fitting in a shop lane — Traffic over a shallow line splits the fitting. We couple what is sound and replace what is chalk.
