Irrigation Controller Repair in Tomball, Texas
Storms wipe timers in Tomball. We test the panel, then set night watering with rest between cycles.
Tomball wells pull differently than a city meter. Acreage underground pipes starve the last head. We test the pump, not a brochure nozzle chart, and we repair the long run without digging the whole driveway.
Northwest truck with Magnolia. Bring pump info if you have it.
A sprinkler timer that looks dead is often a blown fuse, a loose common, or a transformer that cooked on a west-facing garage wall. We test first. If the board is gone, we replace it with a panel that holds a program through a blink — battery backup or a Wi-Fi model if you want phone control.
Programming matters as much as hardware. St. Augustine in Katy clay does not want six-minute daily sprays. We set shorter watering cycles so clay can soak it in so runoff does not sheet down the driveway, and we point you at Harris County watering rules when they apply.
Smart controllers help when the rain sensor is honest and the zones are matched. They do not fix a broken head. We say that on the visit.
Why Tomball lawns fail this way
Tomball is pine, oak, and sandy loam over a clay contact. Forest lots drain downhill. Irrigation that treats a pine lot like a Katy parkway drowns the shade and starves the sun. Duff clogs heads. We split sun and shade when we can.
Soil. sandy loam over clay; wells common on acreage
Grass. St. Augustine, acreage Bermuda, some zoysia
Houses. acreage and 1990s–2010s subdivisions along 249 Typical failures: wells, long underground pipes, low pressure at the last head, acreage controllers in barns
We restore the parkway or yard when the trench is closed. If Tomball has city sidewalk rules or an HOA standard, we follow it. Utility lines get marked before every cut.
