Below are answers to the most common sprinkler repair questions we get from homeowners across Riverton and Salt Lake County.
How much does sprinkler repair cost?

This ensures we diagnose the problem properly instead of guessing or replacing parts unnecessarily.
Once the issue is identified, we provide a clear quote before proceeding.
Why is my sprinkler system not turning on?
This is one of the most common problems we see.
It’s usually caused by:
a faulty valve
wiring issues
controller/timer problems
a stuck or damaged stop and waste valve
We run each zone and test the system to pinpoint the exact cause and fix it correctly.
Why do I have low sprinkler pressure?
Low pressure is often caused by:
leaks in the system
partially closed valves
clogged filters or nozzles
pressure issues at the main line
Low pressure can lead to dry spots and uneven coverage, so it’s important to fix it early.
Why won’t one sprinkler zone turn on?
If only one zone isn’t working, the issue is typically:
a bad valve or solenoid
wiring problems
debris blocking the valve
We test the valve and wiring to determine the exact issue and repair it without replacing unnecessary parts.
What causes sprinkler leaks?
Leaks can come from several places, including:
broken or cracked sprinkler heads
damaged underground lines
loose fittings
valve issues
Even a small leak can waste water and increase your bill, so it’s best to address it quickly.
Do you replace sprinkler valves?
Yes. Valve replacement is a common repair.
If a valve is stuck, leaking, or not opening properly, we’ll confirm the issue and replace it only if necessary.
We always verify the problem first—no guessing, no unnecessary replacements.
Do you fix broken sprinkler heads?
Yes. Broken or damaged sprinkler heads are one of the most common issues.
We replace heads, adjust coverage, and make sure everything is aligned properly so your system works efficiently.
How long does a typical repair take?
Most standard sprinkler repairs can be completed in a single visit.
The exact time depends on the issue, but we aim to diagnose and fix problems as efficiently as possible.
Do you offer same-day or fast service?
We prioritize fast scheduling, especially during peak season.
Availability depends on demand, but we do our best to get systems diagnosed and repaired as quickly as possible.
Do you install new sprinkler systems?

This allows us to diagnose issues faster and provide more accurate repairs without upselling unnecessary work.
Are your technicians paid on commission?
No.
Our technicians are not paid on commission, which means:
no upselling
no pressure
just honest diagnostics and recommendations
