Question 1

Why does one zone of my sprinkler system not turn on?

Accepted Answer

If a zone is not activating, the issue is often related to a faulty valve, wiring problem, controller issue, or a damaged solenoid. Troubleshooting the electrical and mechanical components of the system can determine the exact cause.

Question 2

Why is water pooling in parts of my yard?

Accepted Answer

Pooling water can indicate a broken underground pipe, leaking sprinkler head, or valve that isn’t closing properly. These issues can waste water and damage landscaping if not repaired promptly.

Question 3

Why is my sprinkler system losing pressure?

Accepted Answer

Low pressure can be caused by leaks in the system, broken pipes, clogged sprinkler heads, valve issues, or supply line problems. Identifying the source of pressure loss is important to restore proper watering coverage.

Question 4

Why are some areas of my lawn dry while others are overwatered?

Accepted Answer

Uneven watering is usually caused by misaligned sprinkler heads, clogged nozzles, pressure problems, or incorrect controller programming. Adjusting the system can improve coverage and help your lawn receive consistent watering.

Question 5

Why did my sprinkler system start leaking after winter?

Accepted Answer

Freezing temperatures can sometimes cause pipes, fittings, or sprinkler heads to crack during the winter months. Even properly winterized systems can occasionally develop freeze-related damage. When the system is turned back on in the spring, these breaks may show up as leaks, low pressure, or water pooling in the yard. A professional inspection during spring start-up helps identify and repair any winter damage.

Question 6

Why is my irrigation system using more water than expected?

Accepted Answer

In Colorado’s dry climate, irrigation systems often run more frequently during the summer months. However, broken sprinkler heads, leaks, poor coverage, or incorrect controller settings can cause systems to waste large amounts of water. A system inspection can identify inefficiencies and ensure your irrigation system is watering properly without unnecessary waste.

Question 7

What should I do if I hit a sprinkler pipe while digging?

Accepted Answer

If you accidentally hit an irrigation pipe while digging or installing landscaping, the best step is to shut off the irrigation system and schedule a repair as soon as possible. Even small cracks can worsen over time and lead to water loss or pressure issues throughout the system.
