Common irrigation repair questions answered by NearbyHunt Pros
Leaking pipe connections require disassembly, cleaning, and proper reassembly with fresh primer and cement. Turn off water and drain the line. Cut out the leaking joint if cement-welded. Clean both surfaces thoroughly and apply PVC primer followed by cement. Push together firmly and hold for 30 seconds. Allow 2 hours cure time before pressurizing.
Multi-zone repair costs $400-$1200 depending on the number of zones and required work. Many technicians offer package pricing reducing per-zone costs. Common multi-zone issues include controller failure affecting all zones, mainline problems impacting multiple zones, or widespread component aging. Diagnosis fees may apply to identify all problems before providing repair estimates.
Pop-up heads retract into the ground when not in use, sitting flush with the lawn surface. Water pressure raises them during operation. Heights range from 2 to 12 inches. Pop-ups protect heads from damage by mowers and foot traffic. They're standard for lawn irrigation. Retraction is spring-driven when water pressure drops.
Controller relocation costs $150-$400 depending on distance moved and wire requirements. Nearby relocations keeping existing wiring cost less. New wire runs add $1-$2 per foot. Outdoor controller installations require weatherproof enclosures. Consider keeping the controller in the same general area to minimize rewiring. Electrician fees apply if moving to a location without existing power.
Inconsistent pressure indicates municipal supply fluctuations, partially failed pressure regulators, accumulating debris in the system, or developing leaks. Test static and dynamic pressure at different times. Check pressure regulator function. Look for new leaks. Municipal pressure varies with demand cycles. Installing better pressure regulation stabilizes system operation.
