Sprinkler System
Maintenance
Keep your irrigation system running at peak efficiency year-round. Our professional maintenance service catches small problems before they become expensive repairs — saving you water, money, and headaches.
The Process
What's Included in Every Maintenance Visit
Every visit is performed by a trained Elite technician who inspects your entire system zone by zone — nothing gets missed.
Seasonal Inspection
Full system check each visit — every zone activated, every head observed, every valve tested for proper operation.
Head Adjustment & Cleaning
Realign spray patterns, clean clogged nozzles, and replace worn or broken heads to restore full coverage.
Controller Programming
Seasonal schedule updates, rain sensor verification, and smart controller optimization to match current watering needs.
Leak Detection & Repair
Identify and fix leaks before they waste water — from weeping valves to cracked laterals and failed seals.
Why It Matters
What Happens Without Regular Maintenance
Wasted Water & Higher Bills
Misaligned heads, stuck valves, and hidden leaks can waste thousands of gallons per season — driving up your water bill without you noticing.
Uneven Coverage & Dead Spots
Clogged nozzles and shifted heads create brown patches and dry zones across your lawn, undermining the whole point of having a sprinkler system.
Expensive Emergency Repairs
Small issues like a slow leak or a cracked fitting become major breaks without regular inspection — turning a $50 fix into a $500+ repair.

FAQ
Maintenance Questions
How often should I have my sprinkler system serviced?
At least twice per year — a spring start-up and a fall winterization. For best results, add a mid-summer check to catch any issues before they cause damage or waste water.
What does a sprinkler maintenance visit include?
Full zone-by-zone inspection, head adjustment and cleaning, controller programming review, leak check, and pressure testing.
Can maintenance prevent expensive repairs?
Yes. Most major sprinkler repairs start as small problems — a slow leak, a tilted head, a stuck valve — that regular maintenance catches early before they escalate.
Do you offer maintenance plans?
Yes, we offer seasonal maintenance packages that include spring start-up, mid-season inspection, and fall winterization — everything your system needs year-round.
How much does sprinkler maintenance cost?
Maintenance visits typically cost less than a single emergency repair. Contact us for current pricing on individual visits or seasonal packages.
