Rain Sensor Repair in Crosby
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, 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.
