Irrigation Questions & Answers

Answers to the most common questions about sprinkler systems, irrigation repair, and maintenance in the Sarasota area.

Repair & Maintenance

How often should my irrigation system be inspected?

We recommend a full system inspection at least twice per year — once before the heavy summer rain season and once before the drier winter months. Regular inspections catch small problems before they become expensive repairs and ensure your system is running efficiently.

Why is my water bill suddenly higher?

A sudden increase in water bills often points to an irrigation leak — a broken pipe, cracked fitting, or stuck valve that is running water continuously. We can inspect your system, identify the source of the leak, and repair it quickly to stop the waste.

System Programming

How should I program my sprinklers in Sarasota?

Sarasota County has watering restrictions that vary by season. Generally, you should water early in the morning (before 10 AM) to minimize evaporation, and follow your assigned watering days. We program controllers to comply with local restrictions while delivering adequate water to each zone based on plant type and sun exposure.

Can you upgrade my old controller to a smart controller?

Yes. Smart controllers adjust watering schedules based on weather data, soil moisture, and seasonal changes. They can significantly reduce water usage compared to traditional timers. We install and program smart controllers as part of our service.
