What this repair is
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.
