Sprinkler Leak Detection in Rose Hill, TX

Sprinkler Leak Detection in Rose Hill, Texas

Quiet leaks in Rose Hill clay look like rain. We start at the water meter, then open only the wet spot.

Rose Hill yards are spread out. The valve box is often at the fence, not next to the porch.

Between Hockley and Tomball. Cross street or gate code.

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 Rose Hill lawns fail this way

We walk the zone before we pick a trench. The wet spot and the dry rotor are usually the same lateral.

Soil. Loam over clay, acreage and newer cuts

Grass. Bermuda, some St. Augustine

Houses. Rose Hill acreage between Hockley and Tomball Typical failures: long laterals, buried valve boxes, well grit

Gates and dogs get mentioned on the form so the first trip counts.

How a visit works

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Repair We replace the part that failed. Spray heads stay with spray heads. Rotors stay with rotors.
4. Set the timer Night watering, rest between cycles, rain sensor on. Noon misting is not a program.
