Here’s What Nobody Told You About Your Sprinkler System
You closed on your Lantana home a few months ago. The master-planned community appealed to you, the maintained amenities, good schools, and
that sense of neighborhood cohesion. The home inspector checked various systems and everything looked fine.
But now you’re discovering things about your irrigation system that nobody mentioned during the buying process.
Maybe zone three runs longer than the others but still leaves brown patches. Maybe the controller interface confuses you and you’re unsure if it’s programmed correctly.
Or you’ve realized the previous owner scheduled watering times that don’t make sense for current weather conditions. These discoveries are common for new Lantana homeowners, and as a Lantana sprinkler repair company that’s worked in this community since development began,
we see them constantly.
What the Previous Owner Left Behind
Lantana’s development standards ensure homes were built to consistent specifications, but that doesn’t guarantee every irrigation system was installed or maintained properly. We’ve repaired systems here that appeared fine on the surface but had hidden problems, valves operating marginally,
sprinkler heads installed at the wrong depths, and controllers programmed inefficiently.
Some issues existed long before you bought the home. That zone that only works intermittently? The previous owner probably just avoided using it. Sprinkler heads that don’t pop up fully? They watered those areas by hand. Controllers skipping scheduled run times? They got used to checking them manually. These aren’t things inspectors usually find because they only verify that the system turns on—they don’t test performance or run durations.
Other problems come from deferred maintenance. HOA standards keep lawns looking acceptable, but appearances can mask serious irrigation issues. Heads may spray inefficiently yet still green the grass enough to pass inspection. Valves can function just well enough to get through closing.
Controllers may be years past their lifespan, limping along until the next owner—now you—has to replace them.
Our Work, in Our Customers’ Own Words
We Know Every Builder, Every Contractor,
Every Common Lantana Irrigation Flaw
Home inspectors are generalists. They’ll activate your sprinkler system, see that water comes out, and move on. They’re not assessing pressure consistency, zone coverage, wiring condition, or controller suitability for your landscape.
As a Lantana sprinkler repair company that’s worked throughout this community since its early years, we know the specific issues common here.
Most systems use Hunter or Rain Bird components—excellent products that still develop predictable problems after several years. Valve diaphragms nearing failure. Slightly leaking head seals. Weak controller batteries. Corroding wire connections underground. These don’t show up during a short inspection but quickly appear once daily use begins.
We also know which Lantana builders used which irrigation contractors and the installation patterns that tend to fail sooner. Certain development phases produced systems we see repeatedly for the same recurring issues.That historical knowledge helps us diagnose and
fix problems faster than general repair services.
