What this repair is
When one zone dies, the rest of the system is a control group. That is useful. We run the good zones, then the bad one, and the difference tells us whether we are looking at a valve, a cut common, a lateral break, or a controller station.
Gleannloch and Imperial Oaks lots often have too many heads on one valve. The last three heads mist. People add a pump in their head. The real fix is a split zone or smaller nozzles, not a longer run time that floods the first head.
We will split a overloaded zone when the pipe layout allows it. That is a design conversation, priced as such.
What homeowners usually call about
- One zone bone dry, the rest fine
- One zone floods
- Zone short-cycles
- Too many heads on one valve
- Mixed spray and rotor on one zone
- Dead wire to a far valve
How the visit goes
- Map the zone Heads, throw, and the valve that owns them.
- Test the circuit Station output, valve, common.
- Test the water Pressure at the first and last head.
- Repair the weak link Wire, valve, pipe, or a split if the zone was overbuilt.
