Sprinkler System Maintenance in Hockley
A Hockley tune-up is a full run with the pump on. We flush iron out of the heads, listen to the tank, and correct a clock that was copied from a city-water house.
Late spring and early summer are the right window, before the pasture goes dormant and hides the wet spots. We run every station and write down what is actually weak.
Maintenance here includes the pump start and the pressure tank behavior. A clock-only visit misses the thing that is starving the back rotors.
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
Screens, the last rotor, and a pump start that does not reboot the clock. That is the seasonal visit.
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.

- 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.
- A Waller sensor dry under a metal porch — The porch roof keeps the sensor dry, so the well runs through the storm. Move it.
- Monaville screens and a green ring in August — A green ring in dry grass is a leak. The pump cycling with the clock off is the same story.
- A house clock near Prairie View — A campus rotor is commercial. The house down the road is a different invoice.
