Backflow Preventer Repair in Willis
In-town Willis houses on a meter have a backflow. Acreage on a well usually does not. We look at the water source before we quote a brass assembly.
Metered homes get a rebuild or a new device, left ready for a licensed test. We do not stamp that test.
If you are on a well and someone quoted you a backflow replacement for a misting rotor, get a second look. Those are not the same part.
Grass, soil, and housing on this side of town
Grass. St. Augustine in the sun, thin shade grass under pines, Bermuda on acreage 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. Conroe sand over clay, pine duff on top Willis pine straw packs screens, and sandy trenches will not hold a wide hole. Sun and shade on one valve is the other half of the call.
Housing. Willis in-town, newer I-45 sections, older lots on SH 75 Typical irrigation failures here: sun and shade on one zone, pine straw in screens, sandy trenches, wells north of town

How a visit works
- Walk the yard We run every zone in Willis. 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. Willis sand over clay, with pine straw that packs a nozzle solid.
- 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.
