Sprinkler Head Repair in Hockley
Hockley head repair is grit, low pressure, and rotors asked to throw farther than the well can push.
Well water along 290 carries sand and iron. It packs screens until a good head looks like a pressure problem. We pull the head, flush the lateral until it runs clear, and then decide if the nozzle is wrong.
Acreage rotors need nozzles sized to the pump, not to a subdivision chart. We say which one you have after the gauge, not before.
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
Flush the head before you buy a pump. Sand and iron fake a pressure problem.
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 Waller lateral under a gravel drive — The wet gravel is the clue. We open a tight spot, not the whole drive.
- A Hempstead line break at the tank pad — Water at the slab and a pump that will not rest. Close the irrigation side and call.
- A barn timer that reboots when the well starts — Voltage sag is not a dead circuit board. We meter the pump start first.
- A Rose Hill zone that dies at the back fence — The last rotor on a long lateral tells you if the nozzle is too big for the well.
- The Tomball edge of a Hockley route — East of the acreage the lots get shorter and the water is often a meter. We stock for the system in the ground.
