Irrigation Repairs

There are many reasons your irrigation system may need repair. Below is a list of a few common problems that can arise.

• Minerals and/or debris in the water can clog nozzle openings causing water to not be distributed correctly and sometimes not at all.  
• When PVC and plastic (the material most of your irrigation system is made of) is exposed to sun over time, this material can become brittle making it much easier to break. 
• Since people will likely be walking around your yard, it’s easy to step on a sprinkler or drip emitter and crack or break it.  
• If you are replacing plants or adding new plants, a line can get hit by the shovel and crack or break. Often a crack can go unnoticed until the water starts leaking from the damaged line.  
• A lawn mower running over a sprinkler or casing is a common cause for a break.  
• Debris can build up in a valve which may cause it not to close.  
• The diaphragm inside a valve may not close all the way for several reasons, and this can cause water to leak out the lowest sprinkler or rotor. 
• The internal components in a valve can breakdown causing the valve to malfunction. 
• Rodents can damage the wires that connect the valves to the controller.
