Rain Sensor Repair in Hockley
Hockley rain still falls on barns. Sensors mounted under a metal eave never see it, so the well runs through a storm.
We put the sensor where sky hits it, on a post or a gutter that actually gets wet. Then we confirm the pump start is interrupted too, not just the valves.
A sensor that keeps the system off for a week is stuck wet or wired as the wrong loop. We test it. We do not bypass it and call that a repair.
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.

- Monaville nozzles too big for the well — Mist at the far head means the nozzle is asking for water the pump does not have.
- A Pine Island main that powders — If the wall of the pipe is chalk, that section comes out. We do not glue hope into it.
- Drip tree rings on a rotor valve — Drip and rotors sharing a valve is why the trees dry out. Split the station.
- A Monaville relay that chatters — The clock is fine and the pump relay is not. We test the start circuit.
- A quiet leak on the Tomball side of 290 — The bill moved and the lawn looks calm. Zones off, watch the meter, then walk the soft spot.
