Sprinkler Leak Detection in Friendswood, TX

Sprinkler Leak Detection in Friendswood, Texas

Quiet leaks in Friendswood clay look like rain. We start at the water meter, then open only the wet spot.

Friendswood is a town pecan lot in the morning and a West Ranch parkway after lunch. Old underground pipes and new HOA sprays are different repairs. We also serve Pearland and Clear Lake nearby.

Tell us which side of town. The parts on the visit change.

Leak detection starts at the meter and the backflow. If the meter moves with every valve off, the leak is on the main or the house side. If it only moves when a zone is live, we walk that lateral.

We look for winter (rare here) and summer tells: mushrooms in a ring, ants abandoning a wet spot, a sidewalk that never dries, a hiss at a valve. Acoustic listening helps on long mains. A shovel still closes the file.

High bills in August are often a stuck valve watering from 2 a.m. until noon. That is a leak in effect. We treat it as one.

Why Friendswood lawns fail this way

Friendswood is Greater Houston watering: clay that breaks pipe, St. Augustine that wants a soak, Gulf storms that wipe timers, and mowers that take every proud pop-up.

Soil. clays with sandy pockets; older town lots drain to Clear Creek

Grass. St. Augustine in town, HOA turf in West Ranch

Houses. 1970s–90s town lots plus West Ranch master-planned Typical failures: two systems in one zip: old town underground pipes and new HOA sprays

We restore the parkway or yard when the trench is closed. If Friendswood has city sidewalk rules or an HOA standard, we follow it. Utility lines get marked before every cut.

How a visit works

1. Meter test All irrigation off. Watch the sweep.
2. Zone isolation Open one station at a time.
3. Walk the wet Probe, listen, mark.
4. Open only the mark Repair, test, restore.
