Sprinkler Leak Detection in New Caney, TX

Sprinkler Leak Detection in New Caney, Texas

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

New Caney clay heaves a shallow fitting the same week a new street gets its first HOA letter. We repair original pipe on acreage and we correct builder nozzles on the new walks before the St. Augustine dies.

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 a Spring 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 New Caney lawns fail this way

New Caney is pine, oak, and sandy loam over a clay contact. Forest lots drain downhill. Irrigation that treats a pine lot like an open Spring parkway drowns the shade and starves the sun. Duff clogs heads. We split sun and shade when we can.

Soil. east Montgomery clay that heaves shallow fittings

Grass. St. Augustine, rural Bermuda

Houses. acreage, ISD growth, new master-planned pockets Typical failures: clay heave, long well laterals, builder nozzles on new streets

We restore the parkway or yard when the trench is closed. If New Caney 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.
