Irrigation Controller Repair in Hempstead
Hockley timers sit in barns, shops, and hot garages. Dust, mice, and a well-pump interlock cause more “dead clock” calls than a failed circuit board.
We check power, the pump start relay, and the common before we condemn the panel. A clock that loses its program every time the well kicks is often a voltage sag, not a mystery brand.
If the board is finished, we replace it with one that can start the pump and hold a program. Then we set run times the well can keep up with, zone by zone.
Grass, soil, and housing on this side of town
Grass. Bermuda and St. Augustine 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. Blackland and sandy clay 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. Hempstead in-town and US 290 ranch exits Typical irrigation failures here: older in-town systems, acreage wells
The clock is fine and the pump relay is not. We test the start circuit.
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.
