Control Valve Installation & Repair
Valves that open, close and hold — so the right zone waters at the right time.
What it covers
What control valve installation & repair involves.
When a zone behaves strangely, the valve is usually where the story ends. A zone that runs constantly is almost always a valve that isn't seating properly; a zone that never runs is often a valve, a solenoid or the wiring feeding it.
We test the valve rather than guessing at it, repair or replace the specific failed component, and rebuild manifolds that have been patched one too many times. We can also add a zone to an existing system when your landscape has outgrown the original layout.
Included in the scope
- Diagnosing and replacing valves that won't open or close
- Solenoid, diaphragm and top-end repairs
- Building and rebuilding valve manifolds and valve boxes
- Adding new zones to an existing system
- Wiring repairs, controller connections and zone mapping
- Valves for drip zones, planters and beds
Is this you?
Symptoms that point to a valve
If two or three of these sound familiar, it's worth getting an assessment — most of the cost is in the underlying cause, and it's usually cheaper to fix before it spreads.
- 01A zone that keeps running while the timer is set to off
- 02A zone that never runs, or runs only intermittently
- 03Water weeping through a zone while it's shut down
- 04A valve box that's buried, flooded or overgrown
- 05A manifold that's been patched several times already
- 06A landscape that needs one more zone than the system has
Why have it done properly
What you get out of it.
Doing this work well isn't complicated — it's just unforgiving of shortcuts, which is why the details below are the ones that matter.
Stops the invisible waste
A valve that doesn't close keeps watering around the clock — often the cause of a soggy zone and an unexplained bill.
Restores control of the system
Once valves work, your schedule means something again, and each zone waters what it's supposed to.
Extends the life of what you have
Rebuilding a tired manifold properly is far cheaper than replacing a whole system that's otherwise sound.
How it runs
The process, step by step.
Every estimate is free and every visit is on-site. Nothing is ordered or scheduled until you've seen the number.
- 01
Test the zone and valve
We run the zone, check the controller signal and inspect the valve to confirm whether it's the valve, the solenoid or the wiring.
- 02
Repair or replace
Where a top-end or solenoid rebuild will fix it, we rebuild. Where the body has failed, the valve is replaced with a matching one.
- 03
Rebuild the manifold if needed
Repeated failures usually mean the manifold needs rebuilding — new valves on new fittings in a properly sized box.
- 04
Re-map and verify
Zones are labelled and verified one at a time, and the controller is updated to match what each valve actually controls.
