Sprinkler Leak Detection in Tomball
Hockley leaks hide in pasture. The well runs more than it should, or a green ring shows up in August where nothing else is green.
On a well, there is no city meter to watch unless you have a flow meter on the pump. We use the pressure tank: if the pump starts with every valve closed, water is leaving the system.
Then we walk. A tight dig beats a trench across an acre. If the leak is on the house side of the irrigation shutoff, that is a plumber and we stop.
Grass, soil, and housing on this side of town
Grass. St. Augustine and acreage Bermuda 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. Sandy loam over clay, wells west of 249 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. West Tomball acreage toward Rose Hill, not the whole 249 corridor Typical irrigation failures here: wells, long laterals, barn controllers

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.

- A stuck valve that runs the well all day — Shut the irrigation side of the tank and call. A pump against a stuck valve is how motors die.
- Pine Island poly split at a barb — Poly on a long run fails at the fitting, not in the middle of the field. We start there.
- A house panel near Prairie View that lost the program — Storms wipe a panel. We restore the program for that yard, not a campus schedule.
- A Waller yard on city water — In-town Waller is a short front and a meter. The acreage down the road is a well. Say which one you have.
- A Pine Island meter that creeps — Zones off, watch the sweep. A creep is a leak. Walk it before you trench.
