Valve Repair​

Valve Repair​

The valves buried in your yard are the workhorses of your entire sprinkler system, directing water with precision and reliability. Because these components are out of sight, most homeowners don’t think about them until a problem arises and affects their entire landscape. We get many questions about valve repair from our clients in Fort Myers and surrounding areas so we are providing some information on this topic.

What Does An Irrigation Valve Do?
An irrigation valve is an automated gate that opens and closes on command to control water flow to a specific zone of your property. Each valve is connected to your irrigation controller which sends a low voltage electronic signal telling it when to open and for how long. These valves are the traffic cops of the system, making sure each area of your landscape in Estero and Bonita Springs gets the right amount of water.
What Are The Signs Of A Failing Valve?

There are several clear signs you have a failing valve that needs professional attention. One zone of your sprinkler system may not turn on at all or worse yet a zone won’t shut off. We see this across Cape Coral where a zone has significantly reduced water pressure or water weeping and pooling around the underground valve box itself.

What Causes An Irrigation Valve To Fail?
Irrigation valves can fail for many reasons especially with our harsh Southwest Florida climate and soil conditions. Small particles of sand and debris can get into the system and lodge in the valve and damage the flexible rubber diaphragm. The electronic solenoid that activates the valve can burn out from age or power surge and the internal plastic and rubber components will degrade over many years of service.
Why Is Professional Valve Repair The Smartest Choice?
Some homeowners may consider a DIY repair but this task is far more complicated than it seems. A valve repair requires shutting off the water supply, diagnosing the exact point of failure and working with both plumbing and low voltage electrical components. An improper repair can lead to leaks or further damage to your system which is why we always recommend professional service for our clients.
What Does A Professional Repair Service Entail?
When you call us for a valve issue our technicians will perform a systematic diagnosis to find the exact cause of the problem. This involves testing the solenoid for electrical continuity and inspecting the internal diaphragm and seals for wear or debris. We use high quality commercial grade replacement parts to do the repair and ensure a reliable and long lasting solution to get your system back to working perfectly.
A Permanent Fix For A Common Problem
Failing irrigation valves are a common issue but solving the problem correctly the first time requires experience and the right tools. A professional repair not only fixes the symptom but also the entire system. A professional repair ensures longevity and reliability of your entire irrigation system. For a permanent fix to any valve issue on your property you should trust the experts to provide a final fix.
