Sprinkler Leak Detection in Montgomery, TX

Sprinkler Leak Detection in Montgomery, Texas

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

Montgomery lake lots throw water into Lake Conroe if the arc is lazy. Wind across open water moves the pattern. We set rotors off the water, account for the slope, and repair estate manifolds without treating them like a 50-foot Spring parkway.

West side of Lake Conroe. Pair with Conroe and Magnolia.

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 Montgomery lawns fail this way

Montgomery 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. lake-side sands and clays around Lake Conroe

Grass. St. Augustine, lake-lot mixes

Houses. historic town, lake estates, Bentwater and April Sound-adjacent Typical failures: lake-lot overspray, slopes, wells, wind across open water

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