Sprinkler Inspections & Seasonal Tune-Ups in Coconut Creek, FL
A zone-by-zone check of heads, lines, valves, pump and controller, with schedule changes for the wet and dry seasons.
What a tune-up is for
Sprinkler systems drift. Heads tilt, nozzles clog, grass grows over spray heads and the controller keeps running whatever schedule it was given last year. None of it is dramatic on its own, but together it means dry patches, wasted water and small leaks that grow.
A tune-up catches that early. We run every zone, fix small problems on the spot when you approve them, and adjust the schedule for the season ahead. You get a list of what we found, what we fixed and anything that needs attention later.
Signs you're due for a tune-up
- The schedule hasn't changed in months. The same run times in July and January mean one season is overwatered.
- Dry spots coming back in the same places. Coverage gaps a nozzle change or a raised head can close.
- Heads hidden by turf. St. Augustine runners growing over spray heads.
- Water bills creeping up. A small leak, or a zone running longer than it needs to.
- You're buying or selling a home. An inspection documents what works and what doesn't.
- You've just remodeled or relandscaped. New beds, pavers or plants that changed what each zone needs.
What we do
- 1
Run every zone
We watch each zone for pressure, coverage, overspray and leaks.
- 2
Adjust and clean
We straighten and raise heads, clean nozzles and filters, and turn spray arcs back onto turf and beds.
- 3
Check the controls
We test the controller and rain sensor and, on pump systems, the relay and pump pressure.
- 4
Set the season
We adjust run times for the wet or dry season and give you a written list of anything still to address.
Two seasons, two schedules
South Florida really has two watering seasons. From late spring into fall, frequent rain means the system should run less, and a working rain sensor should skip plenty of cycles. In the drier winter and spring months, the lawn depends on irrigation, and coverage problems show up fast in sandy soil.
A tune-up at each change of season keeps the schedule matched to the weather. It's also a chance to clear sand out of heads, check walls and walks for rust staining, and look for roots crowding the lines before they crack them.
How often to schedule one
Twice a year suits most homes: once heading into the dry season and once heading into the rainy season. Systems on wells or lakes may need their nozzles and filters cleaned more often because of sediment.
If you're adding beds, pavers or a pool, book a check after the work is done. Construction is one of the most common reasons lines get broken.
A visit also makes sense before you leave home for a long stretch. A leak or a stuck valve can run for weeks with nobody around to see it, and that shows up on the water bill and in the lawn when you get back.
What you get from the visit
At the end of a tune-up you'll know the state of every zone. We note which heads we adjusted or cleaned, any leaks we found, how the controller is programmed and whether the rain sensor works. If a part needs replacing, the list says which one, why, and what it costs, so you can plan for it instead of being surprised by it.
We also look for things that aren't broken yet: a valve box slowly filling with sand, a head sitting a little lower each season, roots lifting the turf along a line, or a backflow device that's starting to drip. Catching those early costs less than fixing them after they fail, and it keeps the next visit short.
If you're buying or selling a home, that written record is useful on its own. It shows a buyer what they're getting, or tells you what to raise before closing. For small commercial properties, a seasonal check keeps brown turf and wet sidewalks from becoming the first thing customers notice.
Book a check before the season turns.
Every zone tested, small fixes done with your OK, and a written list of the rest.

Inspections & tune-ups questions
What does a tune-up include?
We run every zone, adjust and clean heads, check for leaks, test the controller and rain sensor, and update the schedule. You get a written list of what we found.
Do you fix things during the inspection?
Small fixes like cleaning nozzles and adjusting heads, yes. For anything that needs parts, we give you the price first and only go ahead if you say so.
Can you inspect a system before I buy a house?
Yes. We run every zone and write down how the system works, what's broken and roughly what the fixes involve, so you know before you close.
Do I need to be home for the visit?
It helps, so we can show you what we find, but it isn't required. We need access to the controller, and to the pump if you have one.
Is a tune-up worth it if nothing looks wrong?
Often, yes. Many problems, like a slow leak or a zone running twice as long as it needs to, don't look like anything until the bill or the lawn shows it.
