Sprinkler Repairs in Palo Alto: The FAQs

We serve both residential and commercial properties as a full-service irrigation and sprinkler repair in Palo Alto. Whether you need a new sprinkler system or repairs to an existing one, we understand some questions may arise. We've put together some of our most-heard questions, and we hope the answers can give you a little guidance:

What should I do if my sprinkler or irrigation system has a leak?

A constant leak that exists when the system is not operating may require a point of connection shut off. Conversely, if the leak only occurs when the system is on, turn the timer off on that zone. Call a professional sprinkler repair company as soon as possible to schedule an appointment.

Are there any benefits to installing an automatic sprinkler system?

Proper lawn watering can seem like a tiresome chore for property owners. Warm, dry months in California can cause some lawns that lack adequate irrigation to burn up in just a few days. Many automatic sprinkler systems can cost a bit more up front, but the long-term benefits can outweigh the initial expense by removing the human element - the one that has more important things to think about - from the equation. 

Will my water usage increase with an automatic sprinkler system?

Automatic sprinkler systems can actually help you reduce your water usage if installed properly. A well-designed sprinkler system will provide your lawn with just as much water as it needs, and exactly where it needs it, without letting excess water go to waste. Automatic sprinkler systems can also incorporate several regulating sensors, such as rain sensors, which will adjust the amount of water used in response to weather conditions and other factors.
