Sprinkler Repair & Maintenance — Keep Your System Running Strong

Kroger Irrigation and Fencing offers full-service sprinkler maintenance, seasonal tune-ups, repairs, and emergency service across Waverly, Lincoln, and nearby communities. Regular service keeps your system efficient, extends lifespan, and prevents costly water waste or landscape damage.

Common reasons to service your sprinkler system:

• Uneven coverage, dry patches, or oversaturated areas
• Broken or leaking heads, damaged pipes, or visible erosion
• Low water pressure or frequent tripped breakers
• Controller faults or lost programming
• Seasonal start-up after winter or winterization before freezing temperatures
• Backflow device issues or failed tests required by local code

Our maintenance & repair services:

• Spring startup: system turn-on, leak inspection, head alignment, controller programming
• Winterization/blowout: safe air blowout to prevent freeze damage and burst pipes
• Routine tune-up: check zones, adjust sprays/rotors, replace worn nozzles, clean filters and valves
• Leak detection & pipe repair: locate underground leaks and repair piping
• Valve and manifold repair or replacement
• Sprinkler head replacement, adjustment, and arc/rotation calibration
• Controller troubleshooting, battery replacement, sensor and rain switch tests
• Backflow testing, repair, and certification to meet local requirements
• Emergency repairs: fast response for major leaks or failures

What to expect during a service visit:

• Timely arrival by trained technicians
• Full system diagnostic: pressure, flow, head inspection, valve operation
• Clear description of issues, repair options, and upfront pricing
• Repairs performed efficiently with high-quality parts
• Post-service testing and demonstration of system operation

Seasonal care tips:

• Spring: schedule startup after last hard freeze; check for rodent or frost damage
• Summer: inspect for clogged nozzles, misaligned heads, and adjust schedules for heatwaves
• Fall: perform repairs and test backflow devices; schedule winterization
• Winter: always blow out systems and close above-ground valves to avoid freeze damage

Frequently asked questions:

• How often should I service my system? Twice a year (spring startup and fall winterization) plus a mid-season tune-up if needed.
• How long does winterization take? Typically 30–90 minutes, depending on system size.
• Can you make my system more water-efficient? Yes — we can retrofit nozzles, add drip irrigation, install smart controllers, and integrate soil moisture sensors.
• Do you handle backflow testing? Yes, we test and repair backflow preventers to meet local codes.

We offer single repairs, one-time tune-ups, and annual maintenance plans with priority scheduling and discounted labor. Call for a customized estimate based on system size and needs.
