Professional Irrigation System Diagnosis
Our irrigation system diagnosis and repair services are designed to identify issues quickly, restore proper operation, and improve overall system efficiency. Irrigation systems are made up of many interconnected components, and problems often stem from pressure imbalances, component failure, or programming issues. Common symptoms we diagnose include:
- Uneven water distribution across turf and landscape beds
- Dry spots or oversaturated areas
- Rising water bills with no clear explanation
- Leaking pipes, valves, or sprinkler heads
- Poor spray patterns or misting
- Zones failing to activate or shut off properly
Identifying the root cause is essential before repairs are made.

Frequently Asked Questions About Irrigation System Diagnosis & Repair
🔸 What are common signs that an irrigation system needs repair?
Common indicators include uneven watering, dry or oversaturated areas, visible leaks, unexpectedly high water bills, malfunctioning sprinkler heads, or zones that fail to turn on or shut off properly. These symptoms often indicate underlying issues that should be addressed before landscape damage occurs.
🔸 How do you diagnose irrigation system problems?
Irrigation system diagnosis begins with a comprehensive inspection, including zone testing, water pressure evaluation, controller diagnostics, and inspection of valves, pipes, sprinkler heads, and drip irrigation components. This process allows us to identify the root cause of performance issues rather than treating surface symptoms.
🔸 How long does irrigation system repair usually take?
Many irrigation system repairs can be completed within a few hours. More complex issues—such as underground pipe damage, valve failures, or electrical wiring problems—may require additional time depending on system layout and accessibility.
🔸 Is it worth having an irrigation system serviced annually?
Yes. Routine service helps identify developing issues early, improves water efficiency, extends system lifespan, and ensures proper irrigation coverage as seasonal conditions and landscape needs change.
🔸 Can I troubleshoot irrigation problems before calling a professional?
Basic checks such as inspecting for visible leaks, confirming valves are open, and reviewing controller settings can help identify simple issues. Persistent problems, pressure irregularities, or electrical faults should be evaluated by a professional to avoid further system damage.
🔸 What types of irrigation systems do you repair?
We diagnose and repair sprinkler systems, drip irrigation systems, and smart irrigation controllers, including systems built with commonly used professional-grade components.
🔸 How are irrigation system repair costs determined?
