Fixes for New-Build Sprinkler Systems
Bought a new home and the sprinklers never watered right? Builder systems are often installed fast. We fix what was cut short. Call (346) 627-2444.
Common builder-system problems
- Too many heads on a zone, so heads barely rise
- Pipe buried shallow and cut by the first landscaper
- Sprays and rotors mixed on one zone
- Heads spraying the driveway, the house or the fence
- No rain sensor or a sensor never connected
- Valves in boxes buried under sod
What we do
We fix it without tearing it out: split overloaded zones, re-nozzle, move heads, raise boxes, and connect a sensor. Read new-construction sprinkler problems.
Why it happens
When a subdivision goes up quickly, irrigation is one of the last trades on site and one of the first places costs get trimmed. Zones get loaded with as many heads as possible to save valves, pipe goes in shallow to save time, and nobody adjusts the heads after the sod and final grade go in. None of that means the system is bad. It means it was never finished. A few hours of adjustment, re-nozzling and zone splitting usually makes it water evenly for years.
