Question 1

Why won't my sprinklers turn on?

Accepted Answer

The most common causes are a wiring fault, a failed valve solenoid, a tripped rain sensor, or a controller that lost its programming after a power outage. Only one of these requires a new timer. We diagnose the actual cause before recommending any parts.

Question 2

Why is one zone not working?

Accepted Answer

Almost always a failed solenoid or a wire break between the controller and that valve. Both look identical from the outside. We use a wire fault locator to find breaks without digging up the yard.

Question 3

Why is my water bill suddenly higher?

Accepted Answer

An underground line leak or a valve stuck in the open position can waste thousands of gallons before you see any wet ground. We locate the source and fix it, not just the symptom.

Question 4

Why are there brown patches even though the system runs?

Accepted Answer

Brown patches with a running system almost always mean a clogged or broken head, not a watering schedule problem. One failed head can leave a dry spot 10 feet wide. We find it and fix it in a single visit.

Question 5

How long does a repair take?

Accepted Answer

Most repairs are completed in one visit. We stock parts for all major brands on every truck. Rain Bird, Hunter, Toro, Irritrol, Orbit. If we need to order something unusual, we tell you upfront.

Question 6

Do you give free estimates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We quote a flat price before we start any work. You approve the price, then we do the repair.

Question 7

Do you fix underground leaks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We have specialized leak detection equipment that locates breaks without tearing up large areas of your yard. We find the source precisely, then make a clean repair.

Question 8

Do you install new systems?

Accepted Answer

No. We only do repairs. No new installations, no commercial jobs, no HOAs. That focus is why our technicians are the best diagnosticians in Central Florida. They have seen and fixed every residential problem for 52 years.

Question 9

How much does sprinkler repair cost in Orlando?

Accepted Answer

Most repairs run $75 to $300 depending on the problem. Single head replacements are on the low end. Underground leak repairs and wire fault diagnosis are on the higher end. We quote a flat price before starting so there are no surprises.

Question 10

Why won't my pump stop running?

Accepted Answer

A pump that runs continuously usually has a pressure switch failure or a leak somewhere in the system that prevents the pump from building enough pressure to shut off. We diagnose pump problems from the water source forward.
