Questions and answers
How do I know if I have a sprinkler leak?
Turn off all water in the house and watch the meter's leak indicator. If it moves, there may be a leak, possibly on the irrigation mainline. A soggy spot or bubbling during a zone points to a lateral leak.
Why won't one zone turn on?
Most often a dead solenoid or a cut wire; sometimes the controller output.
A zone will not turn off. What now?
Close the irrigation shut-off valve, then call. The valve is likely stuck open.
How long should I water?
It depends on head type, sun and soil. Sandy soil drains fast, so moderate runs work better than very long ones. See our article on run times.
Do I need a rain sensor?
Texas rules require one on new automatic systems and when a controller is replaced.
Who sets the watering rules here?
Your water provider: a city, a MUD or a water company. Check your bill.
Do you repair storm damage?
Yes, including lightning-damaged controllers, broken lines and silted valves.
What does a visit cost?
We tell you the visit charge on the phone and the repair price before we start.
Do you fix builder-installed systems?
Yes, that is a big part of our work.
Where do you work?
New Caney, Porter, Kingwood, Humble, Splendora, Roman Forest, Valley Ranch and East Montgomery County.
Sprinklers acting up? Give us a call.
Tell us what the system is doing and where you are. Most calls turn out to be a broken head, a stuck valve, a leak or a controller problem, and a few questions on the phone usually tell us which.
