Irrigation Controller Repair in West University Place, Texas
Storms wipe timers in West University Place. We test the panel, then set night watering with rest between cycles.
West U is a canopy city. Irrigation that treats the oak shade like a full-sun parkway drowns roots and starves the strip of sun. Rebuilds need a design, not a leftover builder grid. Permits are part of the quote.
We do not surprise a West U homeowner with a restoration invoice later.
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 West University Place lawns fail this way
West University Place yards are often small and the sprinklers are older than the last kitchen. Parkways can be two feet wide. Original pipe still serves bungalows. New houses get new systems next to neighbors on 1980s pipe. City parkway restoration is inspected.
Soil. Houston clay, original and rebuilt lots
Grass. St. Augustine and zoysia, canopy shade
Houses. 1930s–50s cottages and large rebuilds; canopy streets Typical failures: shade/sun on one zone, rebuilds, permits, canopy streets
Parkway work in West University Place is watched. We restore soil and sod (or match what the city expects) and we do not leave a rut in the strip. If a permit applies, it is part of the quote.
