Question 1

Why is my sprinkler head leaking when the system is off?

Accepted Answer

This is usually caused by a bad seal inside the head or a worn-out valve that is letting water seep through the pipes. We can easily track down the source and fix it.

Question 2

Can you fix a head that won't pop up?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A head that won't pop up is often clogged with dirt, has a broken internal spring, or isn't getting enough water pressure. We will clean it out or replace it.

Question 3

How do I know if I have a broken underground pipe?

Accepted Answer

Look for unusually soggy areas in your grass, water bubbling up from the ground when the system runs, or a sudden spike in your monthly water bill.

Question 4

Will you have to dig up my whole yard?

Accepted Answer

No. We pinpoint the exact location of the leak and dig a targeted hole just large enough to make a clean, solid repair.

Question 5

Why won't my sprinkler zone shut off?

Accepted Answer

This usually means debris is stuck inside the valve, preventing the rubber diaphragm from closing, or the valve itself has failed. We can clean it out or replace the parts.

Question 6

Can you find a valve if grass has grown over the box?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We use electronic wire tracking tools that follow the signal from your timer straight to the buried valve.

Question 7

Do smart timers really save water?

Accepted Answer

Yes. By automatically adjusting to the local weather and skipping days when it rains, a smart timer can significantly lower your water bill.

Question 8

Can you program my existing timer even if it's not smart?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. If you have a standard dial or digital timer that just needs a new schedule, we can program it for you during a service call.

Question 9

Why is my whole sprinkler system dead?

Accepted Answer

If the timer has power but nothing turns on, you likely have a cut common wire in the yard or a failed pump start relay. We can track down the break.

Question 10

Do you replace irrigation pumps?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If your pump has burned out, lost its prime, or is making a loud grinding noise, we can diagnose it and install a high-quality replacement.

Question 11

How often should I have my sprinklers checked?

Accepted Answer

We highly recommend a quarterly tune-up. Florida weather changes, and getting your system checked every few months ensures it adapts to the seasons.

Question 12

What is included in a quarterly maintenance visit?

Accepted Answer

We inspect all heads, clear overgrown grass around them, adjust spray patterns, check for underground leaks, and optimize your timer settings.
