Irrigation System Troubleshooting
Expert diagnosis and troubleshooting of irrigation system problems including low pressure, uneven coverage, controller issues, and water waste.
Common System Troubleshooting Problems We Solve
Expert diagnosis and repair of all irrigation system issues.
Low Water Pressure Issues
Causes include clogged filters, partially closed valves, undersized pipes, or municipal supply problems. We diagnose and resolve pressure issues systematically.
Uneven Sprinkler Coverage
Brown spots or overwatered areas indicate head misalignment, clogged nozzles, or improper zone design requiring adjustment or redesign.
Controller Malfunctions
Programming errors, power issues, or failed components cause zones not to run. We diagnose electrical and programming problems quickly.
Excessive Water Bills
Hidden leaks, stuck valves, or inefficient scheduling waste thousands of gallons monthly. Our leak detection finds and fixes the source.
Zone Failures
When zones won't activate, we trace wiring, test solenoids, and inspect valves to identify electrical or mechanical failures.
Backflow Prevention Issues
Failed backflow devices risk water contamination and code violations. We test, repair, or replace backflow preventers to maintain compliance.
Our Diagnostic Process
Systematic approach to identify and resolve irrigation problems.
Initial Consultation
Describe symptoms, recent changes, and water bill history. We'll schedule a comprehensive system evaluation.
Visual Inspection
Walk the property checking sprinkler heads, valve boxes, controller, and backflow preventer for obvious issues.
Zone-by-Zone Testing
Activate each zone individually to observe coverage patterns, pressure, and identify malfunctioning components.
Pressure Testing
Measure static and dynamic pressure at multiple points to diagnose pressure-related problems.
Electrical Diagnostics
Test controller output, valve solenoids, and wiring continuity to isolate electrical failures.
Detailed Report & Recommendations
Written findings with photos, repair options, cost estimates, and priority recommendations.
