Early warning signs include zones that don’t shut off, rising water bills, sputtering sprinkler heads, or soggy patches in areas that should be dry. Homeowners often mistake these symptoms for isolated glitches, but they almost always point to bigger problems like leaking pipes, stuck valves, or misprogrammed zones. Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting traces each symptom back to the root cause using zone diagnostics, pressure testing, and controller reviews. We know that nothing in your system operates in isolation, and when one thing fails, others are close behind. Ignoring minor malfunctions only invites major repair bills later.
DIY irrigation repair often creates more issues than it solves because modern systems involve electrical, hydraulic, and software logic that must all operate in sync. Many homeowners replace a head or tweak a setting without realizing they’ve caused a pressure imbalance or broken a circuit elsewhere in the system. At Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting, we use calibrated tools to verify line voltage, check controller logic, and test system-wide coordination before and after every repair. Doing it wrong leads to wasted water, turf damage, or even code violations you didn’t know you triggered. Getting it done right the first time is always cheaper than doing it again
Even a pinhole leak in a supply line can waste thousands of gallons per month and saturate root zones into decay. The damage rarely starts with visible pooling—it starts underground, where soggy soil destabilizes turf, floods beds, and shorts out components over time. Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting locates these leaks before they surface using moisture readings, zone cycle monitoring, and system pressure logs. We’ve lifted Fort Myers lawns where the sod peeled back like soaked cardboard because no one caught a slow leak in time. The sooner you fix it, the less turf you’ll replace.
If your controller runs on old defaults or ignores new restrictions, you may already be violating county watering laws. In Fort Myers, Estero, and Bonita Springs, watering is restricted by day, time, and system type, and violators can face fines or enforcement shutoffs. We reprogram timers, test rain sensors, and install legal logic that keeps your yard green without breaking local rules. Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting helps you stay compliant while maximizing water efficiency and system lifespan. You can’t afford to guess when code enforcement is watching.
Our repair process begins with full-system diagnostics, including valve testing, controller syncing, and pressure balancing across all zones. We don’t just replace the failing part—we confirm the entire system functions in unison, from the pump to the sensors and everything in between. Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting explains exactly what failed, why it failed, and how we’re correcting it to prevent recurrence. You get more than a fix—you get clarity, confidence, and a system prepared to survive whatever Florida throws at it. Most repairs fail when they’re treated like isolated incidents—we repair like it’s all connected, because it is.
Irrigation systems don’t announce failure—they slip into it quietly until you’re left replacing what you could’ve repaired. Davidson Irrigation & Landscape Lighting serves Fort Myers, Estero, and Bonita Springs with complete irrigation repair services that protect your yard, save your water bill, and eliminate hidden breakdowns before they get worse. Call (239) 275-8569 now to schedule a full-system diagnostic before that leak becomes your next major expense. Don’t let small problems grow roots—solve them while they’re still small enough to fix.
