Sprinkler Valve Repair
A zone that never starts, one that will not stop, or one that dribbles all day. Those are valve problems, and most are fixable without replacing the valve. Call (346) 627-2444.
What goes wrong
- Will not turn on: dead solenoid, cut wire or a controller output.
- Will not turn off: silt or debris under the diaphragm, a torn diaphragm, or a manual bleed left open.
- Weeps: a worn seat or diaphragm.
- Box full of silt or ants: common after heavy rain.
Repair or replace
Many valves can be rebuilt with a new diaphragm or solenoid. Cracked or very old valves get replaced. Read zone will not turn on or off.
Where your valves are
Zone valves sit in green or black plastic boxes in the lawn or beds, often near the house, along the side yard or near the backflow device. On newer homes, boxes are often buried under sod during final grading, and on wooded lots they disappear under needles and mulch. We locate lost boxes, raise them to grade, add gravel at the bottom so they drain, and leave the lids where you can find them. Then the next repair is quicker and cheaper.
