What a Professional Sprinkler Diagnostic Visit Should Check

A good sprinkler repair visit should be more than replacing the first broken head a technician sees. The system has hydraulic, mechanical and electrical components that interact with each other.

Controller operation

Check station output, programming, start times, sensor settings and any smart-controller behavior related to the complaint.

Valve and electrical path

When a zone fails, evaluate wiring, splices, solenoid operation and the valve itself.

Pressure and visible leaks

Compare zone performance, look for water surfacing and determine whether weak coverage is isolated or system-wide.

Heads, nozzles and coverage

Broken, tilted or blocked heads can create dry areas even when the rest of the zone is operating normally.

Explain the repair

The homeowner should understand what failed and why the recommended repair addresses the problem.
