When your sprinklers are working right, you stop thinking about them. Your grass stays green without brown patches. Your water bill makes sense again. You’re not standing in your yard at 6 AM trying to figure out why zone three isn’t turning on.
That’s what happens when someone actually fixes the problem instead of just replacing a head and calling it done. Real sprinkler repair means finding what’s broken—whether it’s a valve stuck underground, a timer that’s lost its programming, or a pump that’s working too hard.
You get a residential sprinkler system that runs when it should, waters what it needs to, and doesn’t waste your money on runoff hitting the driveway. Your lawn sprinkler system becomes something you can rely on, not worry about.
We’ve been fixing irrigation problems in South Palm Beach for years. We understand how Florida’s weather, soil, and water restrictions affect your system—and more importantly, how to work with them instead of against them.
Most sprinkler problems aren’t what they seem on the surface. A head that won’t pop up might actually be a valve issue. Brown spots could mean your pressure is wrong, not that you need new heads. We’ve seen it all in this area—from well water staining that turns your driveway orange to in-ground sprinklers that can’t keep up with our summer heat.
South Palm Beach properties have their own challenges. The sandy soil drains fast, which means your irrigation system needs to be calibrated differently than systems up north. The salt air affects metal components. And with water restrictions getting tighter, your system needs to work efficiently or you’ll end up with dead grass despite following the rules.
When you call us, you’re getting someone who knows the difference between a quick patch and a real fix.
First, we run your system zone by zone to see what’s really happening. Not just the obvious stuff—we’re looking for pressure issues, coverage gaps, and signs that something’s about to fail. This wet check tells us more than just looking at broken heads.
Then we dig into the actual problem. If it’s electrical, we trace the wiring back to your timer and test connections. If it’s mechanical, we check valves, pumps, and underground connections that other companies might miss. If it’s programming, we reset your timer properly and show you how the South Palm Beach watering schedule works with your address.
Every sprinkler system company should do this, but most don’t. They replace what’s obviously broken and leave. We fix the cause so you don’t have the same problem next month.
After the repair, we test everything again. Every zone gets checked for proper coverage and pressure. We make sure your rain sensor works so you’re not watering during storms—that’s actually required by Florida law. Before we leave, your lawn sprinkler system runs the way it should, and you understand how to keep it that way.

Our sprinkler repair covers everything from broken heads to complex valve problems that leave entire zones dead. We handle electrical issues that prevent timers from communicating with valves, replace worn pumps that can’t maintain proper pressure, and fix programming that’s gone wrong after power outages.
If your residential sprinkler system has zones that won’t turn on, heads that won’t retract properly, or coverage that leaves brown stripes across your lawn, we’ll find the actual cause. Not just the symptom everyone else treats.
For South Palm Beach properties, we pay special attention to well water issues that cause rust stains and mineral buildup. Iron in the water doesn’t just stain your house—it clogs sprinkler heads and damages internal components over time. We can install treatment systems and adjust head placement to minimize staining on your driveway and walkways.
We also make sure your irrigation system complies with local watering restrictions. Your timer gets programmed for the right days and times based on your address—odd or even numbered addresses have different allowed days. Miss this detail and you could get fined.
Every repair includes a comprehensive system check. We test water pressure at multiple points, examine all visible components, and look for potential problems before they leave you with dead grass. You get a lawn sprinkler system that works efficiently and a clear explanation of what we found and fixed. No technical jargon, just straight answers about what was wrong and what we did about it.
This usually isn’t a head problem—it’s typically a valve or pressure issue that affects the entire zone. When heads won’t pop up, the most common cause is a stuck valve that’s not sending water to that zone. The valve might be getting the electrical signal from your timer, but debris or a worn diaphragm prevent it from opening properly.
Sometimes it’s a broken wire between your timer and the valve, especially after landscaping work or tree root growth. In South Palm Beach, we also see issues with sand getting into valve boxes after heavy rains, which can interfere with valve operation.
Low water pressure from a failing pump can also prevent heads from operating properly. If some heads pop up weakly while others work fine, your pump might be losing capacity or you have a major leak somewhere in the system.
We start by checking if the valve is getting the electrical signal from your timer using a multimeter. If that’s working, we examine the valve itself for clogs or mechanical problems. Most of the time, cleaning or replacing the valve solves the problem completely, but we always test the entire zone to make sure pressure and coverage are correct.
Repair costs depend on what’s actually broken and how extensive the problem is. Simple fixes like replacing a few damaged heads or adjusting spray patterns usually run $150-300. More complex problems like valve replacement, electrical repairs, or pump issues typically cost $300-600.
If your pump needs replacement or you have multiple zones with problems, costs can be higher—sometimes $800-1200 for major repairs. But we always diagnose the issue first and give you a clear, written estimate before starting any work. No surprises or hidden fees for “additional problems we found.”
The key is getting the real problem fixed rather than temporary patches that fail again in a few months. We’ve seen too many homeowners pay for the same repair three times because the first company just treated symptoms. We’d rather charge you once for a proper repair than have you call us back repeatedly for the same issue.
Keep in mind that delaying repairs usually makes them more expensive. A stuck valve that floods your yard can damage your landscape and waste hundreds of dollars in water bills while you wait for service.
Absolutely. Well water systems are extremely common in South Palm Beach, and we work on them regularly. The main challenges with well water are iron staining and mineral buildup that can clog heads and damage components over time—but these problems are completely manageable with the right approach.
We can install rust prevention systems that treat your water before it reaches the sprinkler heads. This prevents the orange stains on your house, driveway, and sidewalks that make properties look neglected. We also know how to clean existing stains using specialized products that won’t damage your surfaces.
Well water systems often need different maintenance schedules because of mineral content. Heads need cleaning more frequently, and filters require regular replacement. We’ll set up your irrigation system for long-term reliability and show you what to watch for between service visits.
Another advantage of well water systems is that you’re not subject to the same water restrictions as properties on city water—but your system still needs to run efficiently. We can optimize your residential sprinkler system to take advantage of this flexibility while keeping your water costs reasonable.
Most repairs are completed the same day we diagnose them, often within a few hours of arrival. Simple issues like head replacement, timer reprogramming, or minor valve adjustments take 1-2 hours. More complex problems like valve replacement or electrical troubleshooting typically take 2-4 hours depending on access and the extent of the problem.
If we need to order parts for older systems or specialized components, we’ll get your lawn sprinkler system running temporarily while we wait for the right parts. We don’t leave you with dead grass while parts ship from the manufacturer. Emergency repairs get priority—if your system won’t shut off and is flooding your property, we’ll stay until it’s fixed properly.
For major repairs like pump replacement or extensive electrical work, we usually complete the work within 24-48 hours. These jobs require more planning and sometimes coordination with electrical contractors, but we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes.
Weather can affect timing, especially for electrical work that shouldn’t be done in the rain. But we work around South Palm Beach’s afternoon thunderstorms and will reschedule if conditions aren’t safe rather than rush through important repairs.
Yes, we work on all major sprinkler system brands including Rain Bird, Hunter, Toro, Irritrol, and others commonly installed in South Palm Beach. Each brand has different components and programming methods, but the basic principles are the same across manufacturers—water, pressure, and electrical control.
We stock common parts for most systems and maintain relationships with suppliers who can source specialized components when needed. If you have an older system with discontinued parts, we can often retrofit modern components that work better and last longer than the originals.
The advantage of working with experienced irrigation contractors is that we understand how different systems operate and can adapt our approach to whatever equipment you have installed. We’ve worked on systems installed in the 1980s and brand-new smart controllers with WiFi connectivity.
Some companies only work on certain brands because that’s all they know. We believe you shouldn’t have to replace a perfectly good system just because your current service company can’t figure out how it works. Most residential sprinkler systems can be repaired and upgraded regardless of age or manufacturer.
First, try turning off the system at your timer—look for an “off” or “system off” switch and make sure it’s in the off position. If that doesn’t stop the water immediately, locate your main irrigation shut-off valve (usually near your water meter or where the irrigation line connects to your house) and turn it off manually. This stops water flow to the entire system.
This is typically caused by a stuck valve that’s not responding to the timer’s signal to close. Sometimes debris gets caught in the valve mechanism, or the valve diaphragm fails and can’t create a proper seal. Don’t ignore this problem—it can waste hundreds of gallons per hour and potentially flood areas of your property.
Call us right away for emergency service. A lawn sprinkler system that won’t shut off can run up your water bill quickly and cause serious damage from overwatering. Constant water flow can kill grass, damage plant roots, and create standing water that attracts mosquitoes.
We can usually fix this same-day and prevent it from happening again. Most stuck valve problems are caused by debris or worn internal components that we can clean or replace. In some cases, the problem is electrical—a short circuit that keeps sending an “on” signal to the valve even when the timer says “off.”
The key is getting professional help quickly rather than trying temporary fixes that might make the problem worse. We’ve seen homeowners cause thousands in landscape damage by letting stuck valves run for days while waiting for their “regular guy” to call back.
