FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What services does Irrigation Specialists offer?
Irrigation Specialists provides irrigation system installation, maintenance, tune-ups, valve locating, wire tracking, mainline repairs, system programming, and landscape lighting services. We work with residential, commercial, and HOA properties.
Do you serve both residential and commercial properties?
Yes. We maintain and repair irrigation and landscape lighting systems for homeowners, businesses, commercial properties, and community associations. The recommended service plan depends on the property’s size, layout, and needs.
How often should an irrigation system be inspected?
Most irrigation systems should be inspected regularly to identify leaks, clogged sprinkler heads, damaged valves, programming problems, and uneven watering. Properties with larger landscapes or high-use systems may benefit from scheduled monthly maintenance.
What are the signs that my irrigation system needs repair?
Common warning signs include unusually high water bills, dry patches, soggy areas, broken sprinkler heads, low water pressure, uneven coverage, zones that do not turn on, and sprinklers that continue running after the scheduled time.
Can you repair broken or leaking sprinkler heads?
Yes. Damaged sprinkler heads can often be repaired, adjusted, cleaned, or replaced. Addressing broken heads promptly helps prevent water waste, poor lawn coverage, soil erosion, and damage to nearby landscaping.
Can you repair a damaged irrigation mainline?
Yes. Mainline repairs may be necessary when underground pipes crack, separate, leak, or experience pressure problems. Signs of mainline damage can include standing water, unusually wet soil, reduced system pressure, or a sudden increase in water use.
Can you program or replace my irrigation controller?
Yes. Irrigation Specialists can program controllers, update watering schedules, troubleshoot operating problems, and recommend replacement when a controller is outdated or no longer functioning correctly.
Do irrigation schedules need to change throughout the year?
Yes. Watering needs can change with rainfall, temperature, plant growth, and seasonal conditions. Adjusting the controller throughout the year helps avoid overwatering during wet periods and underwatering during hotter or drier weather.
Do you provide irrigation maintenance for HOA communities?
Yes. Irrigation Specialists works with homeowners associations and community-managed properties. Services may include system inspections, scheduled maintenance, repairs, controller management, water-use improvements, and ongoing support for shared landscape areas.
What landscape lighting services do you provide?
Landscape lighting services may include system installation, fixture placement, repairs, maintenance, timer adjustments, wiring work, and lighting upgrades. Outdoor lighting can be designed to improve visibility, safety, security, and a property’s appearance.
Can you repair an existing landscape lighting system?
Yes. Existing systems can often be inspected and repaired when lights flicker, fail to turn on, appear dim, or operate inconsistently. The problem may involve damaged fixtures, wiring, transformers, timers, connections, or bulbs.
How do I schedule irrigation or landscape lighting service?
Contact Irrigation Specialists and provide your property type, location, and a brief description of the issue or service needed. Photos of leaks, damaged sprinkler heads, controllers, or lighting fixtures may also help the team prepare for the appointment.
