Rain Sensor Repair in Highlands
Crosby does not need a clock that irrigates on top of a two-inch rain. Sensors here are bypassed, swollen shut, or mounted under a deep eave.
We test interrupt with water on the disks. Stations should stop. If the yard is already at field capacity, we also cut the program. The sensor cannot fix a clock set for July in a wet June.
Mount it in the open, where Lake Houston weather actually lands, not behind a gutter that shelters it.
Grass, soil, and housing on this side of town
Grass. St. Augustine St. Augustine wants a deep soak. Bermuda forgives a miss for a day. Mixing them on one valve is how one strip stays swampy and the other crunches.
Soil. Coastal-prairie clay toward the ship channel Crosby’s high water table hides leaks and fills valve boxes. We use the meter before we dig a hole that fills itself.
Housing. Highlands in-town Typical irrigation failures here: humidity, older valves, wet boxes, runoff to the ditch
Under the eave, the sensor stays dry and the yard gets a cycle in a two-inch rain.
How a visit works
- Walk the yard We run every zone in Crosby. 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. Crosby gumbo stays wet. A soft yard is not a broken pipe until the meter says so.
- 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.
