Irrigation systems require regular attention to maintain peak performance and efficiency. Small problems left unaddressed become expensive repairs. Our mid-season maintenance checks catch issues early, optimize system performance, and ensure you're not wasting water or money. Think of it as a health checkup for your irrigation system.

Thorough check of all system components
Verify proper operation of all zones
Fine-tune heads and coverage as needed
Written summary of findings and recommendations
Irrigation systems face constant stress during the operating season. Water pressure fluctuates, causing wear on valves and seals. Sprinkler heads get hit by lawn equipment or shifted by ground movement. Nozzles clog with debris and minerals. Controllers can lose programming or develop glitches. These problems don't fix themselves - they worsen over time.
A head that's slightly misaligned in June will waste water all summer. A valve that's beginning to leak in July will fail completely by August, flooding your yard. A clogged nozzle that reduces pressure in one zone means other zones may be overwatering to compensate. Early detection through regular maintenance prevents these escalating problems.
Mid-season checks are particularly valuable because they catch problems that develop after spring startup. Your lawn and landscape change throughout the growing season - plants grow, creating shade where there was sun. Grass thickens, requiring adjusted water patterns. Weather patterns shift, demanding different watering schedules. Maintenance visits allow us to adapt your system to these changing conditions.
Our maintenance inspections follow a systematic checklist to ensure nothing is missed. We start by reviewing your controller settings and programming. Over time, settings can drift or changes made for specific situations are forgotten. We verify your current programming is appropriate for the season and make adjustments as needed.
We run through each zone individually, observing system performance while it operates. This is different from a startup inspection where we're verifying basic function - during maintenance we're looking for efficiency losses and performance degradation. We check every sprinkler head for proper operation, alignment, and coverage. Heads are adjusted, cleaned, or flagged for replacement as needed.
Valve inspection includes checking for leaks, verifying proper opening and closing, and ensuring good sealing. Valves under stress show warning signs before they fail completely. We catch these signs early. System pressure is tested throughout to ensure proper operation. Low pressure indicates restriction or leaks, while high pressure wastes water and damages components.
We also inspect the backflow prevention device, checking for leaks and proper operation. This critical component protects your home's water supply. All findings are documented in a detailed report provided to you after service. This report includes photos of any issues found and clear recommendations for repairs or adjustments.
Maintenance visits aren't just about finding problems - they're also opportunities to optimize performance. As landscapes mature and weather patterns shift, your system may need adjustments. We fine-tune head alignment and arc settings to match current conditions. Coverage is verified and adjusted to eliminate waste and ensure adequate watering.
Watering schedules are reviewed and updated based on current weather patterns, season, and plant needs. Mid-summer needs are very different from early summer, and your controller programming should reflect this. We look for opportunities to reduce water use without compromising landscape health.
Many customers tell us their water bills decrease after maintenance visits because we identify and fix waste. A single misaligned head spraying onto pavement can waste thousands of gallons per month. Multiple small inefficiencies add up to significant waste. Regular maintenance keeps your system running at peak efficiency, saving water and money while keeping your landscape beautiful.
