What Counts as a Sprinkler Emergency?
Not every sprinkler issue needs same-day service — but these situations do:
- Broken main line flooding your yard — Water erupting from the ground between zones is a main line break. Every hour it runs wastes hundreds of gallons and can damage your foundation, driveway, or landscaping.
- Zone that won't turn off — A zone running continuously means a stuck-open valve or wiring short. Left unattended it floods your lawn, kills turf, and spikes your water bill.
- Complete pump failure — If your irrigation pump stops working during South Florida's dry season, your lawn and landscaping can start dying within days in the heat.
- Backflow preventer blowing off — A failed backflow preventer shooting water can contaminate your potable water supply — this requires immediate attention.
- Controller total failure before drought season — Losing your controller at the start of dry season with no way to water manually is an urgent situation.
How to Minimize Damage Before We Arrive
- Locate your irrigation shutoff valve — Usually near the backflow preventer or at your meter. Turning it off stops water damage immediately.
- Turn off the controller — Power off the controller to prevent any zones from activating.
- Document the issue — Take a short video of the problem area. This helps us diagnose faster and arrive prepared with the right parts.
- Call us immediately — The sooner you call, the sooner we can schedule you. (754) 268-1198
