Schedule blow-outs in late October to early November—before repeated overnight freezes. Winterization (Blow-Out)

Water left in lines expands and can crack pipes, valves, fittings, pumps, and backflow devices—often a $$$ spring repair.

Yes—commercial compressors with controlled PSI and CFM. We blow zones safely (no “blast & pray”) to manufacturer specs.

Small DIY compressors lack the airflow to clear long runs and laterals; partial blow-outs still allow freeze damage.

We pressurize gradually, check for winter damage, set controller date/seasonal adjust, tune coverage, and test backflow.

System pressurization, zone-by-zone check, head alignment, leak/coverage audit, basic programming, and a repair estimate if needed. Spring Start-Up

Unusually high water bills, soggy spots, weak zone pressure, or areas that never green up are red flags. Line Break Repair

Yes—thousands of gallons per season. Small leaks also starve downstream heads and ruin coverage balance.

Likely a lateral break or clogged nozzle/strainer creating pressure loss—repair or cleaning restores uniformity.

Debris in the valve, torn diaphragm, or solenoid failure keeps a zone running; we clean/repair or replace the valve.

Head spacing, wrong nozzle, blocked spray, or changed landscaping. We re-nozzle/realign for head-to-head coverage.

Cracked housings, leaking seals, stuck risers, or stripped pattern adjustments call for replacement. Head Replacement

Rotors suit large turf with longer throws; fixed sprays fit small zones/beds. We match head type to zone hydraulics.

Yes—OEM replacements for all major brands and matched-precipitation nozzles for even watering.

Soil settling, mower wheels, or shallow install. We reset depth on a stable base and re-align to grade.

It ensures all heads in a zone apply water evenly; mixing nozzles with different rates causes dry/wet patches.

Weak pressure, noisy bearings, frequent cycling, leaks, or losing prime. Pump Replacement

Suction leaks, foot/check-valve failure, or air intrusion. We test, seal, and replace worn valves as needed.

Yes—insufficient GPM/pressure stalls rotors. We size pumps to system hydraulics and zone demand.

Yes—pump/filtration for wells and pressure regulation/backflow for municipal water.

Often yes: smoother starts, energy savings, and stable pressure—great for multi-zone landscapes.

RPZ offers higher protection (with relief valve) and is required in more situations; PVB protects against back-siphonage only. Backflow Replacement

Worn checks/seals can be rebuilt, but cracked bodies or repeated failures point to replacement.

Debris, high pressure, freeze damage, or internal wear. We diagnose, repair, or replace and re-test.

Yes—device tested to code and paperwork provided for Birmingham/Franklin/Bingham Farms inspections.

Yes—insulation slows but doesn’t stop freezing. Proper blow-out and valve isolation are still required.

Yes—wire tracing and tone equipment find hidden valves without tearing up the yard. Valve Tracing & Locating

Loose solenoids, debris, low voltage, or mismatched valves. We test, clean, and replace parts as needed.

Definitely—gel-filled connectors prevent corrosion and intermittent valve failures.

Yes—the shared common opens the circuit for all affected valves; we diagnose and repair wiring faults.

Nearby leak, high groundwater, or failed fittings. We pump out, repair, and re-bed the box if needed.

Usually yes—hardscapes block spray paths; rerouting restores full coverage. Line Rerouting

Yes—new laterals/valves with proper hydraulics and controller expansion.

Most projects are completed in one day; larger relayouts may take 1–2 days.

We backfill/compact and rake level; full sod/seed options available on request.

Yes—reset to grade so spray clears the new surface without blocking.

Yes—weather-based scheduling and seasonal adjust save water and prevent over-watering in wet weeks. Smart Controllers & Upgrades

It scales run times for the season (e.g., 60% in spring, 100% summer, 40% fall); we set baselines during start-up.

Yes—rain shuts off pointless watering; soil moisture prevents irrigation when the root zone is already satisfied.

Disabled sensor, wiring bypassed, outdated firmware, or incorrect rain sensitivity—easy fix during a service call.

We program blackout windows so zones don’t run during mowing hours.

Mineral/iron or sediment from wells or mains; we add filtration and clean/replace strainers and nozzles.

Yes—misty spray wastes water and stresses heads; a pressure-regulating head or PRV fixes it.

We match precipitation and throw to spacing and pressure so every zone waters evenly.

Absolutely—drip saves water, reduces weeds, and targets the root zone in shrub/flower areas.

Typically at spring start-up and mid-season; more often with well water or heavy sediment.

Yes—most repairs are scheduled the same week; winterization calendar fills fastest. Book Winterizing

Minor head/nozzle fixes start low; line breaks/valves/backflow/pumps vary by parts/time. We give flat, upfront pricing onsite.

Yes—parts and labor are covered under our written warranty; ask your tech for details per component.

Deep, infrequent watering early morning (2–3×/week in summer); tweak with seasonal adjust and rainfall.

Morning reduces disease and evaporation; evening watering can leave turf wet overnight.

Aeration helps infiltration; we re-check head height/aim afterward if cores changed grade.

Yes—provide their schedule and we’ll plan service and controller windows around mowing and fertilizing.

Yes—ask about route pricing for same-day neighborhoods or associations.
