How do I know whether my sprinkler system needs a repair or a full overhaul?

Short answer: A sprinkler system overhaul may make sense when problems are widespread rather than isolated.

One broken head, failed valve, or wiring issue is normally a repair. But repeated leaks, outdated backflow protection, failing valves, poor coverage, damaged wiring, an undersized controller, and years of patchwork repairs may justify rebuilding larger portions of the system.

We test each zone, inspect the controller and backflow assembly, evaluate pressure and coverage, and explain which components are still serviceable.

In Kingwood, many older irrigation systems can be improved without complete replacement. Others have reached the point where continued patching costs more over time.

The decision should be based on the system’s actual condition, not its age alone.

What we check in Kingwood

This is a common call in Kingwood, and it is the kind of problem we test in the yard instead of guessing at from the driveway. We run the system, watch how the water is actually moving, and check the parts that cause this — before anything gets replaced. That is the same approach in the full Sprinkler Repair service page.
