What Does Sprinkler System Spring Startup Include?
Every startup covers the full system check, plus repair of anything that broke over winter. Most repairs are finished the same visit because our trucks carry valves, heads, fittings and backflow parts.
Startup checks on every system
-
Slow main line charge: stop-and-waste or main valve opened gradually to prevent pressure surge.
-
Backflow inspection: valves returned to run position, test cocks closed, body checked for freeze cracks.
-
Zone-by-zone run: each valve opened from the controller and watched to confirm it shuts off cleanly.
-
Head and nozzle adjustment: arcs and rotor throw reset for head-to-head coverage, clogged nozzles cleared.
-
Controller programming: date, time, spring run times and a fresh backup battery.
Repairs we fix during startup
-
Broken sprinkler heads: cracked spray bodies, stuck rotors, sheared risers from mowers and snowplows.
-
Leaks: freeze-split lateral lines, cracked fittings and swing joints, wet spots in the yard.
-
Valve failures: weeping valves, torn diaphragms, failed solenoids, cracked valve bodies.
-
Controller and timer issues: dead displays, lost programs, bad station wiring, Wi-Fi controller setup.
-
Low water pressure: partially closed main, clogged filters, mixed nozzles or too many heads on one zone.
-
Zone not turning on: open solenoid wire, stuck valve, failed controller station or cut field wire.
-
Mainline breaks: pressurized line ruptures and freeze-damaged backflow preventers.
Signs You Need A Spring Startup Service
How do I know if my sprinkler system needs a professional startup? If any of these apply, call before the first hot week.
Water left in the lines through a Cache Valley winter often cracks pipe, valves and backflows.
Your system wasn't blown out last fall
This usually means a freeze-cracked body or an open test cock. Shut the water off and call.
Water sprays or hisses at the backflow
Valves and solenoids that sat dry all winter often stick on the first spring run.
A zone won't turn on or won't shut off
Low pressure points to a leak, a clogged filter or a valve that isn't fully open.
Heads barely pop up or mist instead of spray
Pooling water over a pipe run is a classic sign of an underground freeze break.
Soggy spots or bubbling in the lawn
A dead backup battery or a power surge can wipe programs over winter.
The controller is blank or lost its schedule
