Broken Sprinkler Pipe Repair in Highlands
Crosby pipe breaks in gumbo that is already wet. The tell is a spot that stays soft after the rest of the yard has drained, often along a Newport sidewalk or an older Barrett lateral.
We shut the zone down, probe the soft ground, and open one hole. Digging a Crosby yard at random turns into a mud pit. Primer, glue, and a coupling, then a test before the sod goes back.
If the pipe is packed with silt from floodwater, a coupling on the end of a clogged run will not bring the zone back. We say that before we bury 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

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.
