Why a seasonal checkup pays off in Midland

Our seasons are hard on a system. Summer heat and wind push sprinklers to their limits, then a cold snap can arrive with little warning. A system that has sat unused over winter may hide a crack or a stuck valve that only shows once water is flowing.

A tune-up catches small things before they turn into big ones: a tilted head, a scale-clogged nozzle, a sensor that quit. We also use the visit to check the schedule against the city's current watering rules, so the controller isn't running on days it shouldn't.

Texas requires irrigation work to be performed by or under a TCEQ-licensed irrigator.

Signs you need a system checkup

It's been a while

If nobody has run each zone lately, problems can go unseen for a whole season.

A new home with an old system

You don't know what's buried or what the last owner set up.

Patchy lawn color

Uneven green points to coverage problems we can find by watching the zones run.

A water bill that creeps up

Small leaks and overspray add up slowly.

Winter is coming

Preparing the system before a hard freeze can head off cracked pipe and a damaged backflow device.

Spring start-up

Bringing the system back to life gently is the best moment to catch freeze damage.

What a checkup looks like

  1. We walk the property

    We look at heads, valve boxes, the backflow device and the controller before turning anything on.

  2. We run each zone

    We watch each zone work, noting leaks, low pressure, misaimed heads and dry spots.

  3. We fix small items

    Minor adjustments and nozzle swaps can often be done on the spot, with anything larger explained first.

  4. We give you a plain summary

    You get a clear list of what we found and what, if anything, we'd suggest.

Spring start-up and winter shutdown

In spring, we bring the system up slowly and check for leaks at the backflow device and along the lines. In fall, we help you get ready: turning off the supply, draining or blowing out where appropriate, and protecting exposed parts. How much depends on your system.

Make a note of anything odd as the season changes, like a sound, a spot or a zone that behaves differently, and tell us when we visit.

What you can do between visits

Run each zone yourself every month or so during the season and watch for geysers, dry arcs, soggy spots and heads that stay down. It takes a few minutes, and spotting a problem early usually means a smaller repair.

Keep an eye on your water bill and on how the lawn looks after a windy spell. If something seems off, tell us what you saw. Details like when it started and which zone it was help us find the cause more quickly.

If you're about to sell, buy or rent out a home, a checkup gives you a plain list of what the system is doing. It's a useful thing to have in hand, and it avoids surprises after the keys change hands.
