What Dallas soil does to a sprinkler system

Most of Dallas sits on heavy Blackland Prairie clay. It swells when it gets wet and shrinks and cracks when it dries out, and it does that every year. Buried PVC pipe and fittings take that movement for decades until a joint finally lets go. Valve boxes tilt and fill with mud. Heads sink below the grass and stop throwing water where they should.

That is why a system that worked fine for years can suddenly develop a wet spot in August or a dead zone in April. It is rarely one dramatic failure. It is a slow pile-up that ends with one broken part, and the part is usually something we can repair rather than replace.

What a repair visit looks like

  1. You call 469-208-4222 and tell us what you see. A few questions on the phone help us bring the right parts.
  2. We run every zone from the controller and walk the yard while it runs. That shows us more than any single symptom does.
  3. We tell you what is wrong and what it costs before any work starts. You decide.
  4. We repair it and run it again so you can see water landing where it should.
  5. We set the controller for the season and for the City of Dallas twice-a-week schedule.

Signs the system needs attention

  • A patch of lawn that stays soggy, or water running down the curb when nothing is scheduled.
  • One area going brown while the rest of the yard looks fine.
  • A head shooting water straight up, or a head that never rises out of the grass.
  • A zone that will not turn on, or will not turn off.
  • The controller screen is blank, blinking an error, or skipping zones.
  • The water bill jumped and your habits did not change.

Where we work

Repair first

An older system is not automatically a bad system. Most of the time it needs a few repairs and a better schedule, not a tear-out. We will tell you plainly when a repair makes sense and when it does not. In Texas, irrigation work has to be done by or under a licensed irrigator, so it is fair to ask any company, us included, for the license number.

Questions people ask us

How fast can you get here?
Call 469-208-4222 and we will give you the next open slot. If water is running and will not stop, we will walk you through shutting it off over the phone so you are not paying for it while you wait.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Most of what we fix was installed by someone else, often years ago. We work on the common brands of heads, valves and controllers.
Will I know the price before you start?
Yes. We find the problem first, then tell you what it is and what the repair costs. Nothing is done until you approve it.
How do I shut the sprinklers off in an emergency?
Turn the controller to Off. If water still runs, close the irrigation shut-off valve, usually near the backflow device by the house or in a box near the water meter. If you cannot find it, call us.
