Sprinkler Leak Detection in Sheldon
Finding a leak in Crosby means separating irrigation from a high water table. The meter is the referee. Standing water is not.
All irrigation off, watch the meter. Movement means a main or a house leak. No movement until a station opens means that station. We mark one spot.
We will tell you if the wet is groundwater. Digging a hole that fills from the bottom is not a sprinkler repair, and you should not pay for it as one.
Grass, soil, and housing on this side of town
Grass. St. Augustine, oak shade 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. Lake Houston clay west of Crosby Crosby’s high water table hides leaks and fills valve boxes. We use the meter before we dig a hole that fills itself.
Housing. Sheldon and the lake edge Typical irrigation failures here: shade versus sun, wet boxes, silt
All zones off. If the meter moves, walk the yard before you open a trench.
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.

- Huffman maintenance on a well — Flush the sand, check the last head, and confirm the pump start does not blank the clock.
- FM 2100 medians are commercial work — A church lawn and a Newport front yard do not share a clock or an invoice.
- Sheldon drip under the oaks — Beds stay wet because they are tied to the lawn valve. They want a short cycle of their own.
- A new zone where high water took the old one — We replace the run that silted shut. We do not quote a whole new system because one station died.
- A Crosby yard after the water drops — Silt in the heads and one zone that never came back. Flush first. Then see what actually failed.
