Sprinkler Repair
Utah is one of the driest states in the US, meaning that if you want a lush, green lawn, you need to be able to rely on your sprinkler system to do its job. With an average of approximately 13.6 inches of rainfall per year, sprinklers are necessary for any landscape that isn’t xeriscaping. As such, if you need sprinkler repair, you need to be able to count on the company you hire for prompt, quality work.
Old School Landscape doesn’t just do landscaping for you. We also provide maintenance services, such as sprinkler repair, in order to help your beautiful landscape flourish.
How Do You Know If You Need Sprinkler Repair?
In some cases, it’s obvious that your sprinkler system needs some TLC. Whether it won’t turn on, it’s flooding, or your usually green lawn has dry spots, these are all signs you’ve got sprinkler issues. However, other sprinkler issues can be more subtle.
Some signs to watch out for include:
- Higher water bills
- Pooling water or soggy areas in your lawn
- Dry or brown spots (bear in mind that these may also indicate other issues, like pet urine or grass disease)
- Strange noises, like humming, hissing, or bubbling
- Lower or higher water pressure than is normal
If you ever question if you need sprinkler repair, give us a call. We’ll inspect your system and let you know whether your sprinklers are truly the culprit or whether you’ve got another type of problem on your hands.

When To Call In The Pros For Sprinkler Repair
In some cases, you may be able to DIY sprinkler repairs, such as cleaning the heads and the valves. However, if you’re ever in doubt or you’re dealing with a more complex issue, such as wiring or damaged pipes, it’s time to call in the specialists here at Old School Landscape.
Many sprinkler problems can be complicated to both diagnose and repair. If done incorrectly, this can result in even more damage. As such, it’s best to leave anything beyond the most basic sprinkler repairs to the professionals.
The Importance Of Winterizing Your Sprinkler System
Call on us to come out and winterize your sprinkler system before the first snow. If water is allowed to remain in the pipes, valves, and sprinkler heads, it will expand when temperatures drop below freezing, which can result in structural damage. Winterizing your sprinkler system allows it to continue functioning for you come next spring.
