- Activating and leak testing the water source
- Activating the electronic timer and testing the wiring to make sure the valves work.
- Checking the system zone by zone for winter damage and landscape adjustments
- Clearing winter growth from around all heads

- Any major repairs or changes that present themselves during these visits will be reported and an estimate will be submitted for approval before work commences
It is important to monitor the system throughout the operating season and watch for damage or landscape changes that could impact the sprinkler coverage – creating dry or wet areas. Its wise to look at the programming frequency and duration of watering to reduce water waste and improve plant health.
A single broken sprinkler head left unchecked can waste a lot of water per cycle.
It is advisable to have at least one assessment during the middle of the season to ensure the irrigation system is functioning properly and the watering schedule reflects current weather conditions.
These assessments can provide substantial water savings by keeping the system running at peak efficiency throughout the season, reducing water waste and high water bills.
