When Should You Call for Sprinkler Repair?
Sprinkler issues can be difficult to pinpoint, especially when problems appear intermittently or only affect certain zones. Your system might seem to work fine one day and struggle the next, leaving dry spots or pooling water without a clear cause. Ignoring inconsistencies can hurt your lawn’s health.
Give our specialists a call if you’re experiencing any issues that disrupt your sprinkler system’s performance or lead to water waste. We can diagnose the issue and offer solutions.
For example, if one zone consistently fails to activate while others work fine, it could point to a valve malfunction or wiring issue that needs professional repair.
Call us if you:
- Notice unusually high water bills without increased usage
- See water spraying in unintended directions
- Have areas of your lawn that stay too dry or too wet
- Hear strange noises coming from the system when it runs
- Experience inconsistent water pressure across different zones
When Should You Consider New Sprinkler Installation Instead of Repairs?
Many sprinkler issues can be repaired, but severely damaged or aging components may make repairs less effective. Sometimes, a replacement is the better long-term solution. Our team carefully assesses your system to determine the best course of action and can install a new sprinkler system if needed.
It’s important to rule out the possibility of replacing individual parts before considering a full replacement. For example, if only a few sprinkler heads are malfunctioning, swapping them out may be all that’s necessary. However, if your controller, valves, and pipes are all failing, repairs might not work.
You might also consider a new system if your current setup is both compromised and no longer meets your needs. Upgrading to a more efficient system with modern technology can improve water distribution and reduce utility costs. Before you decide, we can always discuss what each option entails.
How Do You Diagnose Sprinkler System Problems?
Our irrigation specialists use a methodical approach to diagnose sprinkler system problems, ensuring no issue goes unnoticed. We visually inspect your entire system, checking for leaks, clogged nozzles, or damaged sprinkler heads. Then, we test your system’s operation zone by zone, observing water pressure, spray patterns, and coverage to identify irregularities like uneven watering or weak flow.
We also examine your control panel, timers, and wiring to rule out electrical or programming issues. When we suspect underground components like pipes or valves to be the problem, we use advanced diagnostic tools to locate leaks or blockages without unnecessary digging. Then, we report our findings to you, offering prompt repair solutions that align with your budget.

Why Isn’t Your Sprinkler Head Turning?
When your sprinkler head isn’t turning, it’s often because of a mechanical issue, clog, or water pressure problem. Dirt or debris may have become lodged in its gears, preventing proper rotation, or the head might be damaged from wear and tear. Low water pressure can also hinder its ability to turn since it relies on consistent flow to function correctly.
Our irrigation specialists inspect your faulty sprinkler head for visible obstructions or damage. If it’s clogged, we’ll clean it thoroughly to restore movement. For more complex issues, like gear or seal damage, we’ll replace the faulty parts or the entire head if necessary. We also check your system’s water pressure and adjust it if needed to ensure your sprinkler operates efficiently.
How Do You Fix Sprinkler Leaks?
You might notice a drop in your water pressure, pools of water on your grass, or unusually lush spots on your lawn. These could be signs of a sprinkler leak. You can count on us to assess the cause—whether it’s a cracked pipe, loose connection, or damaged sprinkler head—and perform the necessary repairs using high-quality replacement parts.
After fixing the leak, we test your system to confirm the issue’s resolution and ensure all components are working correctly.
What Causes Low Pressure in Sprinkler Systems?
Low pressure in sprinkler systems can show up in different ways—some zones may not activate fully, water may trickle out instead of spraying, or coverage may become uneven. At first, you might think a single sprinkler head is clogged, but when multiple areas are affected, the issue is likely deeper.
One common cause is a leak somewhere in the irrigation lines. Even a small crack in a pipe can reduce water pressure across the system, leading to weak spray and inconsistent performance. During an assessment, we’ll first check for visible signs of leaks before exploring other potential causes.
Why Is Your Lawn Sprinkler Not Turning On?
If your lawn sprinkler won’t turn on, it’s often caused by an electrical or controller issue. If the timer isn’t sending signals properly, or if the wiring has been damaged, the system won’t activate as expected. Power surges, faulty connections, or a tripped circuit breaker can all disrupt operation.
Resetting the controller may resolve the issue. However, if there’s no response after a reset, the problem often lies with the wiring or transformer. It also depends on whether the issue affects a single zone or the entire system. One affected area may mean a valve is failing to open properly.
