How do I know when to contact a sprinkler repair service?

Call a sprinkler repair service when there's low water pressure, if water bubbles up near the sprinkler heads, there are leaking pipes, the sprinkler system controller is malfunctioning, or if the sprinkler head(s) won't pop up.

Why does one sprinkler zone have low water pressure?

When one sprinkler zone has low water pressure, there's a leak in the zone's line, a leak at a nozzle or sprinkler head, or the backflow preventer valves are not entirely open. Fixing low water pressure may require increasing the main line size, lowering the sprinkler head operating pressure, increasing the backflow preventer's size, or adding a booster pump.

Why won't my sprinkler heads pop up?

Sprinker heads won't pop up due to these problems:

• The sprinkler head is broken.
• There's cracked casings or broken plastic pieces.
• The sprinkler head is clogged with dirt, sand, or debris.
• There are leaks in the water line.
• There's low water pressure.
