Q: Why is my sprinkler head leaking?

A: If the leaking is constant, your sprinkler head's control valve is probably broken. You will need to repair or replace the sprinkler control valve. If the leaking stops occasionally, your issue may be low head drainage. You will need to install anti-drain valves or check valves to stop low head drainage.

Q: How should I maintain my sprinkler system? 

A: One of the most important things you should be doing to keep your system healthy is to weatherize your

sprinkler system. In the fall, you may have to winterize your system by draining it and closing off unnecessary sprinkler heads. Speak with our technicians to learn more.

Q: How do I start my sprinkler system back up for the spring?

A: Restarting your sprinkler system for the spring can be difficult, so it is best to leave this job to the Mountain View California sprinkler system experts. While you are starting your system back up, you can also have the technicians adjust your sprinkler heads and check the system for any issues.

Q: Does my sprinkler system really have to use so much water? 

A: There are a couple things you can start doing to use less water without dehydrating your lawn. If you're not already, start doing the majority of your watering in the early morning

before the sun is fully out. This reduces evaporation losses. Without upgrading your entire system with more energy-

efficient parts, we can also install rain sensors that will automatically disable your system when it's not needed, or even install water-efficient spray nozzles that can give you better zone coverage without installing additional valves.
