Rain Sensor Repair in Westlake, Texas
If the system in Westlake waters through a thunderstorm, the sensor is often bypassed. We test it and move it into the rain.
Westlake estates need matched heads on long runs.

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 Westlake lawns fail this way
Westlake HOAs planted St. Augustine in strips that get mowed every Saturday. Summer watering keeps the top of the soil wet, so pipes stay shallow and heads hide in the grass. Builder timers still run six minutes every morning. Night watering with rest between cycles is the fix — plus heads that match each other.

Westlake HOAs photograph grass and runoff. We match sod, keep water off the street, and write the quote so the committee sees a finished parkway.
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.
