Lawn Sprinklers

The services Pacific Lawn Sprinklers provides help you maintain a healthy, lush landscape surrounding your home, increasing the value of your property and eliminating considerable time and effort on your part. Having an irrigation system is one of the best investments you can make!

Pacific Lawn Sprinkler offers a wide variety of services for new installations and for homeowners with existing lawn sprinkler systems or a drip system. Annual maintenance is required to adjust the irrigation system for plant growth and seasonal temperature changes, to protect from freeze damage, to maintain water efficiency and to extend the overall life of irrigation systems.

Service / Maintenance

• Spring Start Up
  In the spring, we open up all water and electrical sources and slowly reenergize the sprinkler lines. We perform all necessary seasonal adjustments – check and adjust your sprinkler heads for plant growth and other landscape changes and to ensure they are operating properly, program the water timer (clock), as well as check all main sprinkler lines and manifolds for leaks. If necessary we will repair sprinkler at this time.

• Winterizations
  Snow, ice, and below-freezing temperatures can cause damage to your irrigation system, which is why we take several precautions to “winterize” or protect your sprinkler system in the Fall. We close all water and electrical sources properly and use an air compressor to blow all water out of the underground sprinkler lines. This prevents any leftover water from freezing and damaging the irrigation lines.

• Summer Inspections
  As the seasons change, it becomes necessary to adjust the water timer and frequencies to avoid over or under watering due to temperature changes and varying weather conditions. During the summer, we will check and adjust your sprinkler heads, sprinkler pipe and drip irrigation for plant growth and other landscape changes and to ensure they are operating properly, program the water timer, as well as check all main sprinkler lines and irrigation manifolds for leaks.

• Backflow Tests
  Your local water authority may require an annual backflow prevention test to ensure that the backflow preventer device is preventing any irrigation water, which might contain fertilizers or other chemicals, from back-siphoning into your drinking water. Our certified backflow prevention testers perform this test on your property annually.
  
  * Pacific can provide all necessary applications and permits required by your local water authority.

• Water Audits
  Water audits are used to monitor and record water usage of existing irrigation systems in an effort to increase the irrigation systems efficiency. Our nationally trained irrigation auditors will perform a thorough evaluation and determine how best to eliminate excessive water usage. Water audits often result in long-term savings on future water bills.

• Repairs / Renovations / Upgrades
  Landscape changes, pool removal, new decks and other work can lead to necessary sprinkler repairs or renovations to your irrigation system. Whether Pacific Lawn Sprinkler installed your original garden irrigation or not, we offer a variety of sprinkler repair options and FREE SPRINKLER ESTIMATES to help you ensure a properly working lawn watering system. WE also offer 24 Emergency Response Services for those unplanned events that catch you off guard.
