Service Calls & Irrigation Troubleshooting

A proper diagnosis first — so the repair you pay for is the one your system actually needs.

A service call usually starts at the valve box — the point where most zone faults can be isolated.

What it covers

What service calls & irrigation troubleshooting involves.

Having issues with your irrigation system? We provide service calls to inspect problems, troubleshoot irrigation systems, identify faults, and recommend the necessary repairs.

That starts with the system itself rather than a guess. We run each zone, check what the controller is asking for, and follow the fault back to the head, valve, line, wiring or setting causing it — so you know what's actually wrong and what it takes to correct it before any repair work is scheduled.

Included in the scope

  • On-site service call to inspect the irrigation system
  • Zone-by-zone troubleshooting and fault identification
  • Sprinkler problems — heads, coverage, spray patterns and pressure
  • Irrigation system malfunctions and zones that misbehave
  • Timer and controller checks, settings and faulty connections
  • A clear recommendation on the repairs needed, before work begins

Is this you?

Reasons to book a service call

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 waters at the wrong time, or doesn't run at all
  • 02Dry patches or soggy areas the schedule doesn't explain
  • 03Sprinkler heads that won't pop up, spray wrong or stay stuck
  • 04Water use that has climbed with no change to the settings
  • 05A timer or controller that resets itself or won't hold a program
  • 06A system you've inherited with a new property and don't yet understand

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.

Diagnosis before parts

Knowing whether the fault is a head, a valve, a line or a setting is what stops you paying for parts the system never needed.

One visit, a clear answer

You get the fault identified and a straightforward recommendation on what to do about it, instead of a list of maybes.

Fewer repeat problems

Faults corrected at the cause — rather than patched at the symptom — are the ones that hold through the watering season.

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.

  1. 01

    Tell us the symptoms

    Describe what you're seeing: a dry zone, a wet patch, a controller that misbehaves, water where it shouldn't be. It helps us arrive prepared.

  2. 02

    Inspect and test

    We run the system zone by zone, check the controller and the valves, and isolate where the fault actually sits.

  3. 03

    Identify the fault

    You're told what has failed and why, in plain terms — including anything that looks like it's heading for trouble.

  4. 04

    Recommend the repair

    We set out the repair options and what each one involves, so you can decide before anything is ordered or scheduled.
