Common Sprinkler Problems We Fix
Common Sprinkler Problems & Solutions
Phoenix's extreme climate creates unique challenges for sprinkler systems. High temperatures, hard water, and intense UV exposure accelerate wear on irrigation components. Our technicians have seen every type of sprinkler failure imaginable and know exactly how to fix them quickly and permanently.
Broken Sprinkler Heads
Broken sprinkler heads are the most common irrigation problem we see. Lawn mowers, vehicles, foot traffic, and UV degradation all contribute to head failures. Symptoms include geysers of water shooting straight up, no water output, or uneven spray patterns.
Our Solution: We replace damaged heads with commercial-grade, UV-resistant models matched to your system's precipitation rate. We install protective swing joints to prevent future damage and adjust spray patterns for optimal coverage. Most head replacements take 15-30 minutes per head.
Leaking Valves
Valve leaks waste thousands of gallons of water and create soggy areas that damage your landscape. Common causes include worn diaphragms, debris in the valve, cracked valve bodies, and solenoid failures. You may notice zones that won't shut off completely or constant dripping.
Our Solution: We disassemble and inspect each valve, replace worn diaphragms and seals, clean debris from valve chambers, and test solenoid operation. For severely damaged valves, we recommend complete valve replacement with commercial-grade components designed for Arizona's hard water.
Controller & Timer Malfunctions
Irrigation controllers fail due to power surges, lightning strikes, heat exposure, and age. Symptoms include zones not activating, erratic watering schedules, blank displays, or complete system shutdown. Arizona's monsoon season is particularly hard on outdoor controllers.
Our Solution: We diagnose controller issues by testing power supply, checking programming, and inspecting wiring connections. For failed controllers, we recommend upgrading to smart controllers with surge protection, battery backup, and weather-based watering adjustments that can reduce water usage by 30-50%.
Low Water Pressure Issues
Low water pressure causes weak spray patterns, incomplete coverage, and brown spots in your lawn. Common causes include partially closed valves, clogged filters, undersized pipes, pressure regulator failures, and municipal water pressure fluctuations.
Our Solution: We use professional pressure gauges to test static and dynamic pressure throughout your system. We clean or replace clogged filters, adjust pressure regulators, verify valve operation, and check for hidden leaks. For chronic low pressure, we may recommend system rezoning or pump installation.
Underground Pipe Leaks
Underground leaks are difficult to detect but waste enormous amounts of water. Signs include unusually high water bills, soggy areas, sinkholes, and zones with weak pressure. Arizona's soil movement and extreme temperatures cause pipe stress and eventual failure.
Our Solution: We use professional leak detection equipment including acoustic sensors and pressure testing to pinpoint leak locations without excavating your entire yard. We excavate only the affected area, replace damaged pipe sections with Schedule 40 PVC or polyethylene tubing, and pressure test repairs before backfilling.
Zone Failures & Wiring Problems
When entire zones fail to activate, the problem is usually electrical. Common causes include cut wires from landscaping work, corroded wire connections, solenoid failures, and controller output problems. This requires systematic electrical troubleshooting.
Our Solution: We use multimeters to test voltage and continuity throughout the system. We trace wiring from controller to valves, repair or replace damaged wire runs, install waterproof wire connectors, and test solenoid resistance. For extensive wiring damage, we may recommend wireless valve controllers.
