Rain Sensor Repair in Richmond, TX

Rain Sensor Repair in Richmond, Texas

If the system in Richmond waters through a thunderstorm, the sensor is often bypassed. We test it and move it into the rain.

Richmond is south of Fulshear. Older in-town pipe and newer sections fail for different reasons.

US 90 and FM 359 south. We group Richmond with Rosenberg.

A rain sensor is a cheap switch that Fort Bend HOAs expect to work. We wet the disks or hit the test and watch the stations skip. If they do not, the sensor is bypassed or wired backward.

We move it into the weather, off the second-story eave. This visit is often the same stop as a timer tune-up on FM 1093.

Why Richmond lawns fail this way

Older laterals are brittle. New sections are builder nozzles. We say which one we opened.

Soil. Fort Bend clay, older town lots and newer sections

Grass. St. Augustine, some mixed shade

Houses. Richmond in-town and the southwest suburbs Typical failures: older pipe, newer HOA heads, sidewalk heave

In-town sidewalks get the cut closed and the sod matched.

How a visit works

1. Walk the yard We run every zone in Fulshear. A dry strip, a mist, and a head that never comes up are three different repairs.
2. Find the fault Heads, valves, underground pipe, and the low-voltage wire. Fort Bend gumbo heaves shallow fittings and sheds a long spray into the curb.
3. Repair We replace the part that failed. Spray heads stay with spray heads. Rotors stay with rotors.
4. Set the timer Night watering, rest between cycles, rain sensor on. Noon misting is not a program.
