When your sprinkler system works right, your lawn thrives without the guesswork. You get even coverage across every zone, proper water pressure that doesn’t flood or starve your grass, and a system that adapts to Florida’s unpredictable weather patterns.
No more walking outside to find brown patches where heads aren’t reaching, or soggy areas where broken lines are dumping water underground. Your irrigation runs efficiently, your water bill stays reasonable, and you can actually enjoy your yard instead of constantly worrying about it.
The difference is immediate. Within days of proper repairs, you’ll see struggling areas start to recover, and your entire landscape begins to look healthier and more vibrant.
Sprinkler Contractors of Palm Beaches LLC has been solving irrigation problems for Tequesta homeowners who need repairs that last. We understand how Florida’s sandy soil, intense summer heat, and seasonal rainfall patterns affect your sprinkler system differently than other climates.
Our team knows the common issues that hit residential systems in Palm Beach County – from salt air corrosion near the coast to the specific water pressure challenges in different Tequesta neighborhoods. We’ve seen how poorly installed systems from other contractors fail, and we know how to fix them right.
When you call us, you’re working with contractors who live and work in this area. We’re not learning about your irrigation problems for the first time – we’ve been solving them for years.
First, we come out and actually diagnose the problem instead of guessing. We test water pressure, check each zone individually, and inspect your controller and valve system. This takes about 30 minutes, and you’ll know exactly what’s wrong before we touch anything.
Next, we explain what needs fixing and why, with upfront pricing that doesn’t change. No surprises, no “we found another problem” calls halfway through the job. If it’s a simple fix like replacing broken heads or adjusting spray patterns, we handle it on the spot.
For bigger repairs – burst lines, valve replacements, or controller issues – we schedule a return visit with all the right parts and equipment. We test everything before we leave, walk you through the repairs we made, and make sure you understand how to avoid the same problems in the future.
Ready to get started?
Every repair includes a complete system evaluation, not just fixing the obvious problem. We check all zones, test pressure levels, inspect wiring connections, and calibrate your controller for Tequesta’s current watering restrictions and seasonal needs.
You get honest recommendations about which repairs are urgent and which can wait. If your 15-year-old system needs multiple expensive fixes, we’ll tell you when replacement makes more financial sense than continuing repairs.
For Tequesta residents, this means understanding how our local water restrictions affect your watering schedule, which sprinkler heads work best in our sandy soil conditions, and how to maintain your system through hurricane season. We also explain how proper irrigation timing can reduce your water bill while keeping your lawn healthier than over-watering ever could.
Most residential sprinkler repairs in Tequesta cost between $130 and $360, depending on what needs fixing. Simple issues like replacing broken spray heads or adjusting coverage patterns usually run $80-150 per visit.
More complex repairs like fixing burst underground lines, replacing control valves, or updating controllers cost $200-500. We provide upfront pricing after diagnosing the problem, so you know exactly what you’re paying before any work begins.
Emergency calls outside normal hours cost more, which is why we recommend addressing sprinkler issues as soon as you notice them. Catching problems early almost always costs less than waiting until your system fails completely.
Broken sprinkler heads top the list – they get damaged by lawnmowers, foot traffic, and Florida’s intense weather. You’ll notice uneven spray patterns, water shooting straight up, or heads that won’t pop up at all.
Underground line leaks are also common, especially in older systems. Look for soggy spots in your yard, areas where grass grows much greener than surrounding areas, or water pooling around sprinkler zones. These leaks waste water and can damage your lawn if not fixed quickly.
Controller and valve problems show up as zones that won’t turn on, won’t turn off, or run at the wrong times. Florida’s humidity and electrical storms can damage wiring and electronic components, causing erratic system behavior that’s frustrating and wasteful.
In Florida’s climate, quarterly inspections catch most problems before they become expensive repairs. Professional maintenance every three months costs around $85 and includes checking all zones, cleaning clogged nozzles, adjusting spray patterns, and updating controller settings for seasonal needs.
Spring and fall are especially important for system checkups. Spring startup ensures everything survived winter and is ready for growing season. Fall maintenance prepares your system for cooler months when your lawn needs less water but still requires consistent irrigation.
Between professional visits, check your system monthly by walking through each zone while it’s running. Look for broken heads, uneven coverage, or areas that aren’t getting enough water. Catching issues early saves money and prevents lawn damage.
If your repair costs approach half the price of a new system installation, replacement usually makes more sense financially. A basic new residential system costs $3,000-6,000, while major repairs on failing systems can easily reach $2,000-3,000.
Systems over 15-20 years old often need multiple expensive repairs within a short timeframe. Older controllers waste water, outdated sprinkler heads provide poor coverage, and aging underground lines develop multiple leak points. At some point, you’re just throwing money at a system that will keep breaking.
We’ll be honest about whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation. Sometimes a few strategic upgrades can extend your system’s life significantly. Other times, starting over with modern, efficient equipment saves money and frustration in the long run.
Poor coverage design causes most water waste – when some areas don’t get enough water, homeowners increase run times, which over-waters areas with proper coverage. This creates a cycle of waste that drives up water bills without improving lawn health.
Broken or misdirected sprinkler heads spray water on driveways, sidewalks, or buildings instead of your lawn. Leaking valves allow water to seep continuously, even when zones should be off. Old controllers without rain sensors run during storms or when soil is already saturated.
Florida’s sandy soil drains quickly, so systems that apply water too fast create runoff instead of deep soil penetration. Proper repairs include adjusting application rates, fixing coverage gaps, and updating controllers with smart features that respond to weather conditions and soil moisture levels.
First, check that your controller is plugged in and displaying the correct time and date. Power outages can reset programmable timers, and if the time is wrong, your system won’t run when scheduled. Make sure your program settings show the right days and start times.
Next, verify that your main water supply valve is fully open and that any manual valves in your system are in the correct position. Check your home’s electrical panel for tripped breakers that might affect your irrigation system’s power supply.
If these basic checks don’t solve the problem, you likely have wiring issues, a failed controller, or valve problems that require professional diagnosis. Don’t try to troubleshoot electrical components yourself – irrigation systems combine water and electricity in ways that can be dangerous without proper training and tools.
