If Your System Has Any of These Problems, We Can Fix It
Valve Problems
(The #1 Reason Zones Won’t Turn On)
Sprinkler valves control water flow to different zones in your irrigation system. When valves fail, zones won’t turn on, won’t shut off, or operate with weak water pressure. Most sprinkler valve repair needs involve failed diaphragms, broken solenoids, or mineral buildup restricting flow.
The diaphragm is a rubber seal inside the valve that opens and closes to control water. After years of operation, diaphragms wear out and need replacement. The solenoid is an electrical component that triggers the valve to open. When solenoids fail, the valve won’t respond to controller signals. Mineral deposits from your water supply gradually accumulate inside valves and restrict water flow over time.
We diagnose sprinkler valve problems by testing electrical signals, checking water pressure, and inspecting internal components. Once we identify the specific failure, we replace worn parts or install new valve assemblies when necessary. Our trucks carry sprinkler valve parts for all major brands including Hunter, Rain Bird, Toro, and Weathermatic.
Sprinkler Head Problems That Waste Water and Ruin Your Lawn
Broken sprinkler heads are among the most common irrigation problems. Lawn mowers strike heads and crack housings.
Normal wear causes seals to fail so heads leak even when retracted. Heads get buried by soil or landscape work and can’t pop up properly. Adjustment mechanisms break so heads spray in wrong directions.
Different areas of your lawn require different sprinkler head types. Spray heads work best for smaller areas and deliver water in fixed patterns. Rotary heads cover larger areas and rotate while watering. Drip irrigation serves planting beds and shrub areas.
Using the correct head type in each zone ensures proper coverage without water waste.
When we replace broken sprinkler heads, we install the appropriate type for each location. We adjust new heads for correct spray pattern, distance, and direction. Properly installed and adjusted heads eliminate dry spots and prevent water from spraying onto driveways, sidewalks, or house foundations.
Controller and Timer Repairs
Your irrigation controller programs when zones activate and how long they run. Controller problems prevent your sprinkler system from operating on schedule.. Common controller failures include dead batteries that erase programming, failed electrical components, corrupted programming,
and damaged wiring connections. We diagnose controller problems systematically by testing power supply, checking internal components, verifying wiring connections, and testing zone outputs. Sometimes controllers just need new batteries and reprogramming. Other times internal components require replacement. When controllers are too old or damaged to repair economically, we install appropriate replacement units and program them for your specific irrigation needs.
Here’s What Our Customers Say About Us
Pipe and Line Repairs
your property. Pipe leaks develop from various causes including soil movement, tree root intrusion, freeze damage, and age-related deterioration. North Texas clay soil expands when wet and contracts when dry. This constant movement gradually stresses buried PVC pipes. Over years, fittings crack and pipe sections develop leaks.
Tree and shrub roots seeking water grow into pipe joints and create breaks. Winter freeze events can split pipes when trapped water expands. Older pipes simply deteriorate from decades underground.
Pipe leaks often show up as soggy spots in your lawn, areas with unusually green grass, or zones with low water pressure. We locate underground leaks using pressure testing and careful examination of surface symptoms. Once located, we excavate carefully to minimize landscape disruption, repair or replace damaged pipe sections, test the repair thoroughly, and restore the area properly.
Backflow Preventer Repairs (Especially After Freezes)
Backflow preventers protect your drinking water from contamination by preventing irrigation water from flowing backward into your home’s water supply. These devices require annual testing to ensure they function correctly. They also need repair or replacement when internal components fail.
Backflow preventers sit above ground near your water meter and are vulnerable to freeze damage. When water inside the preventer freezes and expands, it cracks housings and breaks internal valves. These failures cause constant leaking or prevent your system from building proper pressure.
We test backflow preventers annually as required by local regulations. When preventers fail, we replace damaged components or install new assemblies. Proper backflow preventer function keeps your water supply safe while allowing your irrigation system to operate correctly.
Low Pressure? High Pressure?
We Diagnose and Fix Both.
Low water pressure prevents sprinkler heads from operating properly and creates uneven coverage. High pressure wastes water and damages system components. Pressure problems stem from various causes that require accurate diagnosis.
System-wide low pressure might indicate municipal supply issues, partially closed main valves, or failing backflow preventers.
Low pressure in just one zone usually means problems specific to that zonea , stuck valve, restricted piping, or multiple leaks.
High pressure can damage sprinkler heads, cause misting, and waste significant water.
We diagnose pressure problems by testing at multiple points in your system. This systematic approach identifies whether issues involve your water supply, main line components, specific zones, or individual heads. Once we locate the cause, we make appropriate repairs to restore proper pressure throughout your system.
Electrical and Wiring Issues
Irrigation systems rely on electrical wiring running from controllers to valve solenoids throughout your property. Wiring problems prevent zones from activating even when controllers and valves are functioning correctly. We use specialized wire tracing equipment to locate breaks in buried irrigation wiring. Once found, we repair damaged sections and waterproof connections properly so repairs last. Testing each zone after wiring repairs confirms that electrical signals reach all valves correctly.
