One Dry Zone, Rest of the Yard Fine: How We Track It Down

Homeowners often assume a dead strip means they need a brand-new system. More often, one valve, wire, or controller station is the weak link.

Common causes of a single dead zone

• Failed solenoid on the zone valve
• Broken wire under a fence line or driveway
• Controller station output failure
• Closed isolation valve after landscaping work
• Severe head clogs (less common for a fully dry zone)

How diagnosis works on-site

We start at the timer, confirm the station is programmed, measure output, then test at the valve box. That sequence saves you from replacing parts that still work. See our zone won’t turn on service page for details.

Why speed matters in Houston

St. Augustine and Bermuda can stress fast in July. Catching a dead zone early is cheaper than re-sodding a rectangle later.
