Sprinkler Leak Detection in Crosby
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, live-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 terrace clay, high water table, gumbo that stays wet Crosby’s high water table hides leaks and fills valve boxes. We use the meter before we dig a hole that fills itself.
Housing. Crosby town, FM 2100, older lots and newer cuts Typical irrigation failures here: silted heads, valve boxes in groundwater, backflow drips, clocks that water through a 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.
