What Can Go Wrong with Irrigation Systems?
Even well-designed irrigation systems need regular maintenance and occasional repairs. Here are the most common problems we diagnose and fix.
Broken or Misaligned Sprinkler Heads
Cracked sprinkler bodies, damaged nozzles, incorrect spray patterns, and missing or stuck heads waste water and create coverage gaps. Regular inspection catches these issues before they impact your landscape.
Leaking Valves
Valve box flooding, constant water seepage, pressure regulation issues, and worn diaphragms or seals drive up water bills and can damage your landscape. Leaks often go unnoticed until you see standing water or higher bills.
Coverage Problems
Dead spots in your lawn, overwatered areas, uneven distribution, and blocked spray patterns indicate misaligned heads or poor zone design. These issues prevent your landscape from receiving consistent, efficient watering.
Controller Malfunctions
Programming errors, failed zones, electrical issues, and battery or power problems prevent your system from running efficiently. Outdated controllers waste water and make scheduling difficult.
Clogged Components & Efficiency Issues
Blocked nozzles, filter screens full of debris, emitter clogs, and wasteful scheduling reduce system effectiveness. Regular maintenance prevents clogs and optimizes water usage, saving you money and protecting your landscape.
