When your sprinklers misfire or zones run too long, most people blame timers, wiring, or bad programming. But more often than not, the issue is hidden in a corroded, clogged, or cracked valve buried beneath the surface. Valves are the system’s gatekeepers, regulating flow, pressure, and responsiveness across every zone, yet they’re also the most ignored component. Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting inspects, repairs, and replaces valves across Fort Myers, Estero, and Bonita Springs before a silent failure causes visible damage. One small valve can take out an entire system when left unchecked—and it happens faster than most homeowners realize.
Valve issues usually start quietly—a slight delay in shutdown, a zone that drips longer than expected, or a sprinkler that runs when it shouldn’t. By the time water starts pooling or turf shows signs of overwatering, the valve has already failed and pressure has destabilized. At Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting, we isolate the specific malfunction with pressure testing, electrical continuity checks, and component-level diagnostics. We don’t just fix surface symptoms—we restore the entire pressure sequence to its original balance. A misfiring valve doesn’t just hurt one section of your yard—it puts the whole system at risk.
Most full-system breakdowns start with a valve that was never inspected, cleaned, or recalibrated when the season changed. In Fort Myers, Estero, and Bonita Springs, where stormwater, insects, and sediment wreak havoc underground, neglecting valve maintenance almost guarantees system disruption. Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting performs proactive valve care, clearing buildup, resealing lids, and checking responsiveness under live conditions. These systems are buried for a reason—but that doesn’t mean they should be forgotten until there’s a problem. Valve care is irrigation insurance, and skipping it means gambling with every cycle.
Installing cheap valves might save money in the short term, but it always costs more later when Florida’s heat, humidity, and high-pressure cycles destroy inferior parts. We’ve replaced dozens of valves that failed within months simply because they weren’t rated for the climate or soil saturation levels. Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting installs commercial-grade valves with weather-resistant seals, corrosion-proof screws, and wide-diameter ports that handle demand without burnout. Every valve we install is designed to last, sealed to survive, and placed to allow fast access without excavation. Our installations aren’t about checking boxes—they’re about building resilience.
Valve failure often looks like minor glitches: a zone not activating, a sprinkler leaking after shutdown, or inconsistent pressure without warning. We perform targeted valve inspections that include resistance testing, flow monitoring, and performance simulations under load. In Fort Myers, Estero, and Bonita Springs, where rainfall and irrigation overlap for months, saturated valve boxes short out fast and stick open silently. Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting catches those failures before they impact turf health, system logic, or water bills. Most homeowners don’t know a valve failed until the damage shows—our job is to make sure that never happens.
Valves might be hidden, but their impact is unmistakable when they fail and everything downstream falls apart. Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting offers full-system valve inspections, repairs, and replacements for homeowners across Fort Myers, Estero, and Bonita Springs who want certainty—not surprise. Call (239) 275-8569 now and book your system review before one stuck valve becomes the reason your controller shorted, your bill spiked, and your lawn turned brown. We don’t just service irrigation systems—we keep them from collapsing when no one’s looking.
