Irrigation System Repairs


We are often asked "if one of my valves is bad aren't the others soon to follow?" Well, on an older system with all the same valves it is quite possible but not absolute. With newer systems, there is no way to tell whether or not just because one irrigation valve went bad another one will follow suit. I've seen valves last fifteen years or more. So the answer is one of those unsures.

Atlanta Sprinkler Repair: Irrigation Valves

We are receiving numerous calls relating to valve problems with sprinkler systems this year. In about 75% of the cases, we are able to re-build the valve which is a more cost effective way to repair the problem as opposed to replacing the valve altogether.
In fact, for the first time in 10 years, I have a leaky valve on my system. By replacing parts and cleaning it, not only did I save myself time, but money as well. If your irrigation repair company tells you that you need a new valve, be sure to ask if repair is possible. It's not always possible but in some cases valves can be repaired.
