What this repair is
Most “my sprinklers will not come on” calls are a valve or a wire, not a controller. We check 24 volts at the controller, then at the valve. If the coil is open, that is a ten-minute swap. If the rubber inside the valve is shredded, we rebuild the valve in the box so you keep the same manifold.
Houston valve boxes sit in the wettest corner of the lot. After a Gulf rain they fill. Debris holds a rubber inside the valve open. That is the zone that waters the street at 2 a.m. We clean, rebuild, and raise the box if it is buried under two inches of St. Augustine.
Commercial manifolds and HOA common boxes get labeled. Homeowners should be able to find zone 3 without a séance.
What homeowners usually call about
- Zone will not turn on
- Zone will not shut off
- Valve box full of water
- Chattering valve
- Wiring chewed in the box
- Manifold leak at the union
How the visit goes
- Meter the circuit Voltage at the controller and at the coil.
- Open the box Solenoid, rubber inside the valve, ports, and the union.
- Rebuild or replace Same-brand parts when we can. Compatible when we cannot.
- Cycle twice On and off with no weep.
