What we look for

Common spring issues we find

Many sprinkler problems are small at first. Catching them early can help avoid wasted water, dry patches, and surprise repairs — that is why we check every zone during start-up.

Broken or tilted heads

Common after a wet winter with soil movement.

Clogged nozzles

Debris and mineral buildup can reduce coverage.

Low-pressure zones

Often a sign of a leak, valve issue, or head problem.

Leaks near valves or heads

Small leaks caught now avoid larger problems later.

Controller schedule issues

Controllers may lose settings or need seasonal updates.

Missing backflow test

Many irrigation systems require an annual backflow test.

Ready for a careful start-up?

Book spring start-up only, or combine with annual backflow testing from Starts at $169 for standard residential service.

Why it matters

Spring start-up is more than turning the water back on

After a wet winter, your sprinkler system may have broken heads, clogged nozzles, low-pressure zones, controller issues, or leaks. A proper spring start-up helps catch these problems before peak watering season.

Bring the system online carefully

We turn water back on gradually and look for obvious issues as the system pressurizes.

Catch problems before summer

Broken heads, clogged nozzles, and coverage issues are easier to fix before the dry season.

Water more efficiently

A controller and zone review helps reduce waste and avoid overwatering.
