Drip Irrigation Repair in Sheldon is a local job: the grass, the clay, and the houses on those streets decide the repair. Sheldon sits west, toward the lake. Shade yards and open yards should not share a station.

Drip Irrigation Repair in Sheldon
Crosby foundation beds run drip in shade that stays wet. Overwatering those beds is how you get fungus and a high bill, not greener hollies.
We put drip on its own valve with a filter and a short cycle. Lawn spray on a foundation bed in this humidity is too much water.
After silt, we flush every line. Replacing four emitters on a packed tube does not bring the bed back.
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

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.

- 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 We do not quote a whole new system because one station died.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.
- Channelview valves in a low box — A box at ditch grade fills. Raise it and service the valve that was underwater.
- Newport ditches and a zone that never dries — Run the zone before you blame the grade. A stuck valve looks like a ditch that will not drain.
- Crosby pop-ups buried after a silt event — Heads that will not rise are packed, not broken, until we pull one and look.
