Service Call
Our service call includes 15 minutes of work. This is normally enough time to fix a single, simple problem and to identify a larger one. A service call costs $97 in Lubbock, Shallowater, and Wolfforth, Texas (slightly higher in other areas). System Checkup For the same cost as a service call, we will check over the entire system. We will mark broken heads, dry spots, leaks, and other problems, and give you a proposal to repair the system. (Additional charge for systems larger than 10 zones) Drip installation or conversion Drip irrigation is an ideal method to keep flower beds watered very efficiently. It is exempt from Lubbock water restrictions, and provides even and deep coverage. We can install drip in new beds or can convert spray heads to drip. MP Rotator Conversions MP Rotators are sprinkler nozzles designed to water more efficiently and provide better coverage. They put out 1/5th as much water as normal spray nozzles, reducing run-off and allowing deeper watering. We can convert your system to MP Rotators, either all at once or one zone at a time.

It also might seep, resulting in a slight trickle from the lowest head in the zone. The valve might also not turn on. We can help identify these problems and find and repair or replace the valve, if necessary. Valve Locating Many times, valve boxes become buried in the yard, or some cases, were never installed in a box. We have a wire locating tool, which we can use to trace wires from the controller back to the valves. Backflow Device Installation Some valve repairs and main line leaks require an approved backflow device to be on the system before we can do the repair. If the system does not have one, we can install a Double Check Valve Assembly, an approved device in Texas. System Modifications We can add zones, move heads, and cap lines. When adding a new shed, swimming pool, or fence, it is important not to damage the sprinkler system or bury heads under concrete. Automatic Conversions We can convert manual systems to automatic systems. We replace manual valves with electric valves and will install an easy-to-use controller. Controller Replacements An electric controller will eventually wear out. We can replace it with a new controller or can attempt to repair some models (please note that when replacing or installing a new controller, the State of Texas now requires a sensor to be installed, if not already in place). There are also now new WiFi controllers that can be operated using your phone. Irrigation System Audit After completing repairs, we can do a complete evaluation of your system. This is ideal for very large systems, such as parks, cemeteries, churches, commercial properties, and schools. We can calculate uniformity, flow rate, estimate the cost of the operation, and create an ideal irrigation schedule. |
Scheduled Maintenance ProgramYour sprinkler system is like your automobile - it needs regular maintenance to keep it operating like it should. In West Texas, dirt blows in and raises the level of the soil over the tops of heads, requiring these heads to be raised. Sometimes the nozzles will also get clogged. Seals wear out, causing heads to leak. Drip lines get cut or chewed by rodents.
With our Scheduled Maintenance Program you will already be on our schedule in advance. We'll come out several times per year according to your needs, check your system and reset your controller, if desired. You can also set a maintenance limit if you like. SMP customers get priority service. There is no contract and you can cancel at any time All you need to do is decide which months you want us to come out, typically March, July, and October (or more or less frequently, according to your needs). If you have a cool-season lawn grass and water in the winter, we also recommend December/January. Even if you only want us to come out once or twice a year, we are happy to add you to this program.
