Common Sprinkler Repair Issues
With our extensive experience as sprinkler repair specialists, we have encountered and effectively resolved nearly every conceivable sprinkler problem over the years. Among the most frequent issues we address for residential properties are:
Sprinkler Leaks
Over time, your sprinkler system may develop leaks due to wear and tear, or it could sustain damage from foot traffic, mowing, snow removal, and other lawn care activities. These leaks can lead to significant water wastage, causing a sharp increase in your utility bills. Additionally, they may result in a notable decrease in water pressure, leading to dry and under-irrigated areas on your lawn. Moreover, valves are prone to developing leaks after extended periods of use. Proper maintenance and timely repair are essential to avoid these issues and ensure your sprinkler system operates efficiently.
Clogged Sprinkler Head
As time goes on, dirt and debris can accumulate, causing blockages in the filter and nozzles of your lawn sprinklers. When your irrigation system is affected by clogged sprinklers, you may notice little or no water exiting the nozzles while the system is operational. Our skilled technician will carefully inspect your system to identify the areas of clogging and then proceed to clean them thoroughly. Moreover, we take proactive measures to prevent future clogging issues, ensuring your sprinkler system functions optimally.
Removed Sprinkler Nozzles
In a spray-type sprinkler system, if any of the nozzles become dislodged due to mowing or general wear and tear, it can lead to a decrease in water pressure. This reduction in water pressure can result in insufficient lawn coverage, leading to the formation of dry patches and promoting weed and fungus growth. To address this issue, our team of sprinkler repair specialists will diligently locate and service the missing nozzle. Additionally, we will determine the appropriate replacement based on the specific sprinkler type and brand, ensuring your system regains its optimal functionality.
Broken Sprinkler Pipes
Should you happen to notice water bubbling, a dampened area, or a patch of grass displaying a lusher green hue than the rest of your lawn, it could be an indication of a broken pipe. Rectifying a broken pipe might entail excavation by your technician to locate the affected pipe section. Once exposed, cleaned, and repaired, your technician will diligently tidy up the area, ensuring your lawn swiftly returns to its original lush, green, and healthy state.
Wiring Issues
Dealing with the wiring of irrigation systems can be a rather intricate task. Our highly skilled technician will thoroughly inspect your wiring to detect and repair any spliced or damaged wires. Equipped with the latest wire tracking equipment, all our technicians can efficiently locate valves and pinpoint wire breaks. If needed, your technician can also provide services such as transformer maintenance or replacement, rewiring of electric solenoid valves, and installation of low-voltage control wiring.
Broken Sprinkler Timer
A malfunctioning controller/timer can render your sprinkler system inoperable, causing considerable inconvenience. Similarly, when your timer, rain and moisture sensor, or temperature sensor malfunctions, it can lead to excessive water usage and unnecessary expenses. Our team of skilled technicians is well-equipped to repair and service your current control and sensor systems. If necessary, we can also replace the entire systems with the latest cutting-edge technology, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency for your irrigation system.
Backflow
Backflow can pose a serious risk by allowing harmful chemicals to contaminate your drinking water. At our company, our expert technicians can conduct an advanced test to assess if your sprinkler system is susceptible to backflow. If identified, we will promptly proceed to repair or upgrade your prevention device, effectively stopping backflow and preventing potential future issues. Ensuring a properly functioning backflow prevention mechanism is crucial to safeguarding the quality of drinking and bathing water supplied to your home, providing you with peace of mind and a safe water supply.

Outdated sprinkler systems, improper spray patterns, ineffective layouts, and various other sprinkler issues can lead to significant water wastage and inflated utility bills. Our team of certified Landscape Professionals is dedicated to evaluating your irrigation system thoroughly, identifying areas that can be enhanced to minimize water usage. Following the evaluation, our skilled sprinkler technicians will propose practical solutions to conserve water and reduce your utility costs.
