Backflow prevention devices are only required on city water sources and required to be inspected every year. These devices are extremely important to protect cities water lines and prevent contamination of the city water due to depressuration of the city water lines from repairs or breaks.

Roots can cause havoc on an irrigation system. The roots are naturally drawn to water and cooler soil around the valves and pipes. Try to keep important componets (valves, boxes. heads) of the irrigation system out from under the tree canopies or future tree canopies. Small fiborous tree roots will find their way into the system and then start to grow causing breaks and other major issues.

Reroutes can come in many forms. Wether youre having a new patio installed, your fence redone, or a tree root cuts off flow, I can reroute your irrigation to accomodate your new changes.

Manifolds are where all your valves get their water. Normally in a large green box, buried in the ground, and normally under constant pressure. If you need to expand your system or install a different valve, chances are, you will need to rebuild the manifold. This usually requires digging up the large green box and expanding the current manifold, if the required space is available, or building a complete new one.

Valves come in many different shapes and sizes. They can be automated or manual. If you have a zone that won't shut off within your automated system, there is most likely a problem with your solenoid or diaphragm within the valve. Sometimes just taking apart the valve and cleaning it will resolve the problem.

This is especially common with irrigation water versus domestic water. Sometimes the solenoid goes bad which tells the valve when to open and close. These can be checked with a multimeter before replacing. Sometimes both of the problems occur at the same time. The soloid will be bad along with something in the diaphragm being bad. If this is the case, its usually better to just replace the whole valve.
