Sprinkler Leak Detection in Prairie View, Texas
Quiet leaks in Prairie View clay look like rain. We start at the water meter, then open only the wet spot.
Prairie View mixes a campus clock with acreage wells outside town. We ask which property.
North of Waller on US 290. Campus work is scheduled, not a driveway pop-in.
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 Prairie View lawns fail this way
A campus rotor and a house zone are different hydraulics. The quote says which we are on.
Soil. Sandy clay
Grass. Campus turf and acreage Bermuda
Houses. Prairie View and the university edge Typical failures: campus clocks, acreage wells, long wire runs
We do not block a campus walk to fix one head.
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.
