Sprinkler Leak Detection in Waller, Texas
Quiet leaks in Waller clay look like rain. We start at the water meter, then open only the wet spot.
Waller is the west neighbor. In-town meters and acreage wells are both on the same visit list, and they are not the same parts.
US 290 west of Hockley. Say in-town or acreage.
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 Waller lawns fail this way
The far rotor on a well is the test. If it mists, the nozzle or the pump is wrong. More minutes will not fix it.
Soil. Sandy clay and blackland pockets, wells common
Grass. Bermuda and St. Augustine
Houses. Waller in-town and acreage toward Hockley Typical failures: wells, older valves, long runs
Utility lines get marked before we dig.
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.
