Rain & Freeze Sensor Installation in Houston

Sensors that stop the system when the weather already did the job.

Texas law requires a rain or moisture sensor on new irrigation systems, and a freeze sensor protects your pipes and sidewalks during Gulf Coast cold snaps. We install wired and wireless sensors and verify the interrupt works at the controller.

Signs you need this service

  • System runs in the middle of a thunderstorm
  • Ice sheets forming on the driveway in winter
  • Existing sensor is cracked, faded, or bypassed
  • You are bringing an older system up to code

How we handle it

  1. 1 Select a mounting point with clear sky exposure
  2. 2 Wire the sensor into the controller interrupt circuit
  3. 3 Test the shutdown and restart behavior
  4. 4 Set the sensitivity for local rainfall patterns

What customers say about our work

4.9 average from 12 customer reviews
“Two zones had quit on us and another company told us the whole manifold had to be replaced. The tech from Reliable traced it to a bad solenoid and a nicked wire, fixed both, and ran every zone with me before he left. Straight answers the whole way through.”
Marcus D. Katy, TX · Valve Repair & Replacement · June 9, 2026
“Our water bill nearly doubled and we could not find the cause. They located a cracked lateral under the side yard in about forty minutes, repaired it, and put the sod back so neatly you cannot tell where they dug.”
Priya S. Sugar Land, TX · Leak Detection & Repair · May 28, 2026
“Eleven heads replaced and every arc reset. The shade zones under the oaks were drowning and the sunny strip was burning up — they rebalanced the whole thing and the lawn evened out within two weeks.”
