FAQs:
How do you fix an in-ground sprinkler line?
To repair an in-ground sprinkler line, you find the leak, turn off the water, and dig around the leaking pipe. Then, you replace that section and seal it in place. These repairs aren’t as simple as they seem, and you could damage the pipe further if you dig too close. But you don't have to do it alone. Contact Heartland Sprinklers for expert service.
How much should it cost to replace a sprinkler valve?
Costs depend on the valve size, issue and location. Typically, you can expect the price to range from $85 to $250. These prices include materials and labor.
What causes sprinklers to stop working?
The most common causes are cut wires (did you build a fence recently or dig in your yard?), aging valves, broken pipes, clogged nozzles, and electrical problems.
How long do sprinkler lines last?
We rarely need to replace a full system of pipes underground. It’s the working parts of a sprinklers system that need repair more often. This includes heads, nozzles, controllers, and valves.
How often should lawn sprinkler heads be replaced?
Lawn sprinkler heads are the visible part of your sprinkler system, and they sometimes get damaged by lawnmowers and string trimmers. UV exposure can also degrade the material. Generally, expect to replace these parts every 5-10 years — or sooner if damaged.
How do you fix a sprinkler head that is not rotating?
When heads stop rotating (rotors) or get stuck in the up position (pop-ups), it most often means that it needs to be replaced.
