Sprinkler systems can range from simple 8-10 head perimeter systems to complex systems that are smart home enabled. There are so many degrees of complexity with sprinkler systems that it takes a professional to fix and maintain most sprinkler systems.

With all sprinkler systems, there is a list of common problems that could result in a system failure. Give us a call if any of these issues cause your sprinkler system to malfunction:

• Valve Malfunctions: Can happen if valves get clogged, stay on too long or just stop working.
• Sprinkler head problems: May include being sprinkler heads stuck in the up or down position. Sprinkler heads can also break down causing water leaks or complete system failure.
• Waterline breaks: Can happen along the mainline or any of the lateral lines. Leaks or breaks in your irrigation line can require extensive repair work and even lawn repair.
• Rain or freeze sensor malfunctions: Often cause your system to turn on despite freezing or rainy conditions. Sensor malfunction causes water waste which can be a huge problem in dry areas. During a freeze, if the sensor does not register the temperature properly, the system could still come on and damage the system or cause frost problems to the lawn.
• Controller wiring issues: These issues require professional diagnostics and repairs. Wiring issues can also cause problems in the controller and other critical components of your system.
• A clogged spray nozzle: May happen due to mineral buildup on the nozzles. Clogs can cause your sprinkler system to be inoperable or in need of quick repair.
