Sprinkler Leak Detection in Hockley, Texas
Quiet leaks in Hockley clay look like rain. We start at the water meter, then open only the wet spot.
Hockley is a well-and-acreage town with subdivisions growing along 290. The pump decides the repair.
US 290 and Warren Ranch Road. Tell us well or meter before we quote nozzles.
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 Hockley lawns fail this way
Sand and iron pack screens until a healthy head looks weak. We flush before we sell a pump.
Soil. Hockley loam and sandy clay, wells on acreage, some meters on newer 290 lots
Grass. Bermuda on acreage, St. Augustine in newer subdivisions
Houses. Acreage, barns, and newer houses along US 290 Typical failures: well pressure at the last rotor, iron in the screens, barn timers, long laterals
We locate the lateral. A trench across an acre is not the first move.
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.
