Sprinkler Leak Detection in Pine Island, Texas
Quiet leaks in Pine Island clay look like rain. We start at the water meter, then open only the wet spot.
Pine Island heads are far apart. A city nozzle layout will mist the last one every time.
Northwest of Hockley. Plan on drive time.
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 Pine Island lawns fail this way
We size rotors to the pump we measure, then set a night program the well can finish.
Soil. Sandy clay, rural wells
Grass. Bermuda pasture and yard
Houses. Pine Island rural lots Typical failures: wells, distance between heads, shop timers
Marking utilities matters on long bores under drives.
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.
