Repair

If your sprinkler system is not functioning properly, our team can help. We offer repair services for all types of sprinkler systems. From broken pipes to faulty valves, we can diagnose and fix the problem quickly.
  • Identify the Problem: When your sprinklers start acting like rebellious teenagers—spraying unevenly or refusing to work—let us take a closer look. Signs of trouble include low water pressure, dry patches, or mysterious puddles. These often point to broken sprinkler heads, clogged nozzles, or sneaky leaks in the pipes.

  • Fix What’s Broken: Replace those cracked or wonky sprinkler heads, and give clogged nozzles a cleaning or new. If leaks are playing hide-and-seek, track them down and patch up the pipes. Remember, quality replacement parts and proper installation are our sidekicks in this repair adventure.

  • Maintenance Magic: Preventive maintenance is like sunscreen for your irrigation system. Let us regularly check for wear and tear: worn-out gaskets, misaligned sprinkler heads, and grumpy valves. Cleaning the nozzles to remove debris that could mess with water flow. By nipping minor issues in the bud, you’ll avoid future waterworks (and not the emotional kind).

  • Red Flags of a Faulty System: Picture this: excessive water usage doing the cha-cha with water pooling or flooding. Not a pretty sight, right? These signs scream, “Houston, we have a problem!” Broken pipes, cranky valves, or a system design that moonlights as a water-wasting villain might be to blame. Swift action saves water and keeps your plants happy.

  • The Price Tag: Repair costs vary like weather forecasts—sometimes unpredictable. Factors include your landscape size, the number of zones in your system, and whether you need specialized tools and equipment. To decode the mystery, consult our team of irrigation specialists. They’ll give you the scoop on the repair bill.

Winterization

Without proper preparation, your sprinkler system might be damaged by freezing temperatures. Imagine your sprinkler system as a network of water highways. When winter arrives, freezing temperatures turn those highways into icy obstacles. If water remains trapped in the pipes, valves, and sprinkler heads, it can expand and cause cracks or bursts. Not ideal, right?

Spring Start Up

Restarting your irrigation system after months of freezing temps is a daunting task. Let our team of experts get you back up and running.

 

Spring start up for your irrigation system is like waking it up from its winter slumber. Just imagine your sprinklers stretching, yawning, and getting ready to dance with water once again! Let’s break down the steps to ensure a smooth and efficient spring awakening:

Gradual Water Flow:

  • Slowly open the main water valve to allow pipes to fill gradually. Think of it as easing your system into action. If you fling those valves open like an overexcited kid on Christmas morning, you risk high surge pressures, uncontrolled flow, and water hammer (which can crack or burst pipes). 

 

 Zone-by-Zone Check:

  • Activate each station valve manually from your controller. It’s like waking up different sections of your garden. Make sure they’re all stretching their metaphorical limbs.
  • Walk through each station, observing:
    • Operating Pressure: Low pressure might signal a line break or a missing sprinkler. We don’t want any disappearing acts!
    • Sprinkler Head Rotation and Adjustment: Are they doing their pirouettes correctly? Adjust as needed.
    • Coverage: Ensure every plant gets its fair share of hydration. No favoritism here!
    • Clean Filters: Those poorly performing sprinklers need a spa day. Remove debris and let them breathe.

 

Controller Reprogramming:

  • Set your controller back to automatic watering mode. It’s like giving it a fresh to-do list for the season.
  • And hey, if the controller’s backup battery is feeling low, we can swap it out. We don’t want any memory lapses.

 

Sensor Check (If Applicable):

  • Uncover and clean your system weather sensor (if you have one). It’s like wiping the sleep from its eyes. These sensors help your system adapt to changing weather conditions—like a garden meteorologist.
