Sprinkler Leak Detection in Hempstead, Texas
Quiet leaks in Hempstead clay look like rain. We start at the water meter, then open only the wet spot.
Hempstead is the far west stop. In-town pipe is older. The exits are wells.
US 290 west. We book it as its own run, not a tag on a Cypress day.
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.
Why Hempstead lawns fail this way
Older in-town valves and ranch pump-start relays fail differently. The first question is the water source.
Soil. Blackland and sandy clay
Grass. Bermuda and St. Augustine
Houses. Hempstead in-town and US 290 ranch exits Typical failures: older in-town systems, acreage wells
We restore the cut we make. These yards are watched by the people who live on them.
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.
