A pop-up sprinkler head spraying across turf.
Broken heads, dead zones, leaking valves, failed pumps, and controllers nobody has touched in years. We find what's wrong, repair or replace it, and get the system watering evenly again.
An irrigation system in South Florida runs nearly year-round, and everything about the environment works against it - sand and grit chewing up nozzles, hard water scaling heads shut, salt air corroding fittings, roots crushing lateral lines, and lightning taking out controllers and pump relays. The failures are rarely obvious from the driveway. You notice a brown patch, a soft spot in the yard, or a water bill that jumped, and by then the system has been running wrong for months. Palm Beach Property Services repairs and maintains irrigation systems for homes, HOA communities, and commercial properties across South Florida.
Most irrigation problems come down to the parts you can see. Heads that no longer pop up, nozzles blasting the sidewalk instead of the turf, rotors stuck mid-arc, heads knocked off by a mower, and cracked risers leaking underground. We replace failed heads and nozzles, reset spray patterns and arcs so water lands on the landscape instead of the pavement, raise heads that have been swallowed by turf, and repair broken lateral lines and fittings.
When a whole zone goes dead the problem is usually deeper in the system - a failed solenoid, a stuck or leaking valve, a broken wire, or a pump that no longer primes. We trace and locate valves, test wiring, repair or replace valves and solenoids, and repair or replace irrigation pumps that have failed outright. Controllers get tested and reprogrammed so run times and start days actually match the landscape and your county's watering schedule instead of whatever was set years ago.
A system check a few times a year catches the failures that quietly waste water - a head watering a wall, a valve weeping into a zone, a controller stuck on a schedule nobody adjusted after the rainy season started. We run every zone, watch the coverage, and fix what we find. For HOA boards, property managers, and commercial sites across Palm Beach County, Martin County, Broward, and Miami-Dade, we can put common areas, entrances, and buffer landscaping on a set inspection schedule - and recurring clients receive discounted rates.
The usual signs are a spike in the water bill with no change in habits, a patch of yard that stays soggy or spongy between cycles, low pressure across a zone, or one zone that runs noticeably weaker than the rest. Any of those is worth having the system run zone by zone and watched.
Yes. We diagnose whether the pump is repairable - pressure switch, capacitor, priming, wiring - and repair it if it is. When it isn't, we handle the replacement and get the system back online.
A full zone-by-zone check two to four times a year catches most problems before they show up as dead turf or an inflated water bill. Properties on well water or near the coast tend to need it more often because of scaling and corrosion.
