Irrigation Maintenance​

Irrigation Maintenance​

Your irrigation system is a complex machine that needs consistent, proactive care to run efficiently and reliably, just like a high performance car. Skipping maintenance is a big gamble that often leads to landscape damage, wasted water and expensive repairs down the road. We get a lot of questions about preventative care so we are answering the most common questions from homeowners across our entire Southwest Florida service area.

Why Is Regular Maintenance So Important?
Regular professional maintenance is the single most effective way to ensure your system runs at peak performance and protects your valuable landscape. These regular inspections allow our technicians to catch small issues like clogged nozzles or minor leaks before they become big problems. For homeowners in Fort Myers and Cape Coral, this preventative approach saves water and makes sure your lawn and gardens get the right amount of water they need.
What’s Included In A Maintenance Visit?
A maintenance visit from our team is a systematic, multi-point inspection to tune every aspect of your irrigation system for optimal performance. Our experienced technicians will run each zone individually to check pressure and coverage, make precise adjustments to every single sprinkler head as needed. We will also clean all filters, check controller settings for seasonality and test your state-mandated rain sensor.
How Often Should My System Be Inspected?
Given the unique and demanding climate of Southwest Florida we highly recommend a professional system inspection every quarter or at least semi-annually. The big swing from our dry season to our rainy season requires big changes to your controller’s watering schedule to avoid damaging your plants. A maintenance plan ensures those changes are made correctly, keeps your landscape healthy and compliant with local watering restrictions in Estero and Bonita Springs.
What Are The Risks Of Not Maintaining?
Not maintaining your irrigation system is a costly decision that will inevitably lead to a number of predictable and expensive consequences for any homeowner. You will almost certainly have higher water bills due to undiscovered leaks and inefficient performance which can waste thousands of gallons of water over time. You will also risk dead patches in your lawn from malfunctioning zones and even fines for watering outside of your designated days.
Does A Maintenance Plan Really Save You Money?
A maintenance program is a smart investment that saves homeowners a lot of money in the long run. The small cost of preventative care is far greater than the cost of wasted water, replacing sections of a damaged landscape and major repairs. By keeping your system in top shape a maintenance plan protects your budget from the unexpected problems that come from simple neglect.
