Rain Sensor Repair in Arlington, Texas
If the system in Arlington waters through a thunderstorm, the sensor is often bypassed. We test it and move it into the rain.
North Arlington yards we serve show Mid-Cities dry-zone patterns.

A rain sensor that never interrupts is usually bypassed at the controller, mounted under a soffit, or swollen shut from last year’s storm. A sensor that never lets the system run is stuck wet or wired as a closed loop on an open-loop panel.
We mount sensors in the open, on a gutter edge or a dedicated stake, not behind a second-story eave. Wireless units need a battery and a clear path to the receiver.
This is often bundled with a controller tune-up. If the sensor is fine and the program still waters at noon, that is a programming visit.
Why Arlington lawns fail this way
Arlington is Mid-Cities watering: clay that breaks pipe, St. Augustine and Bermuda that want a soak, North Texas storms that wipe timers, and mowers that take every proud pop-up.

We restore the parkway or yard when the trench is closed. If Arlington has city sidewalk rules or an HOA standard, we follow it. Utility lines get marked before every cut.
How a visit works
- Test interrupt Wet the disks or press the test. Stations should skip.
- Check the bypass Many Bedford installs never pulled it.
- Replace and relocate Where rain hits, not where the ladder was convenient.
- Confirm a storm skip We simulate, then you watch the next storm cell.
