Rain Sensor Repair in Willis is a local job: the grass, the clay, and the houses on those streets decide the repair. Willis is pines and sand, with new houses on I-45 and older yards in town. One valve often tries to water both sun and shade.

Rain Sensor Repair in Willis
Willis rain falls through the pines and misses a sensor tucked under a deep eave. The clock waters a yard that is already dripping.
We move the sensor into the rain and prove the stations stop. On a well we also prove the pump start stops. A sensor that only opens the valve circuit still lets some pump relays run.
Pine pollen packs the disks. Cleaning is part of the repair, not an extra speech.
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.

- North Conroe valve boxes set too low — A box below grade fills with sand and holds a valve. Raise it and rebuild what failed.
- A Grangerland main that is more repair than pipe — If every joint has already been coupled, that section comes out.
- Meter versus well before you quote a backflow — In-town houses have a device. Acreage wells usually do not. Look first.
- A north Conroe meter that moves with the clock off — Zones off, watch the sweep. That is the first test on a metered street.
- Dobbin pressure at the last head — Near heads strong, far head misting. Nozzle size first, pump second.
