What this repair is
A sprinkler timer that looks dead is often a blown fuse, a loose common, or a transformer that cooked on a west-facing mechanical room wall. We test first. If the board is gone, we replace it with a panel that holds a program through a blink — battery backup or a Wi-Fi model if the signal reaches the closet.
Programming matters as much as hardware. St. Augustine in Mid-Cities north Dallas clay does not want six-minute daily sprays. We set cycle-and-soak so runoff does not sheet onto Belt Line, and we point you at local watering rules when Dallas or Carrollton stages are active.
Smart controllers help when the rain sensor is honest and the zones are matched. They do not fix a broken head. We say that on the visit.
