Repair costs vary depending on the issue. Simple repairs like replacing a broken head might cost $50-100, while more complex issues like valve replacement or pipe repair can range from $150-400+. We always provide an upfront quote before any work begins, so there are no surprises.

There are several possible causes: the controller may have lost its programming (often after a power outage), the rain sensor may be activated, there could be a wiring issue, or a valve might be stuck. We recommend checking your controller settings first, then give us a call if you can't identify the problem.

Dry spots can result from clogged nozzles, misaligned heads, low pressure, or coverage gaps in the original design. Sometimes heads get knocked out of alignment by mowers or foot traffic. We can inspect your system, identify the cause, and recommend solutions.

Yes, we stand behind our work. All repairs come with a warranty on parts and labor. If a repair we made fails within the warranty period, we'll fix it at no additional cost. Specific warranty terms depend on the type of repair.

The cost of a new irrigation system depends on the size of your property, soil conditions, number of zones needed, and the type of components used. A typical residential system ranges from $2,500 to $5,000+, but we provide detailed quotes based on your specific property. Contact us to schedule a service call for an on-site assessment.

Most residential installations are completed in 1-2 days. Larger properties or more complex systems may take longer. We'll provide a timeline estimate when we give you your quote. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your property.

We use specialized equipment that minimizes damage to your lawn. While there will be some visible trenching lines immediately after installation, these typically fill in within a few weeks with proper watering. We take care to restore your property as much as possible.

A smart controller connects to Wi-Fi and adjusts watering schedules based on weather data, soil moisture, and local watering restrictions. You can control it from your smartphone, receive alerts, and track water usage. Smart controllers can reduce water consumption by 20-50% compared to traditional timers.

We recommend a professional inspection at least once a year, typically in spring before the heavy watering season begins. This helps catch small problems before they become major issues and ensures your system is running efficiently.

While Brushy Creek doesn't experience harsh winters like northern states, we do occasionally get freezing temperatures that can damage irrigation systems. We recommend at minimum protecting your backflow preventer and exposed pipes with insulation. For added protection, we offer winterization services.

Most Texas lawns need about 1-1.5 inches of water per week during the growing season. It's better to water deeply and less frequently (2-3 times per week) rather than shallow daily watering. Early morning (before 10 AM) is the best time to water to reduce evaporation.
