Sacramento's transition from wet winters to dry summers demands careful irrigation preparation. Our comprehensive spring service addresses common issues like cracked pipes from clay soil movement and rodent damage in rural Elk Grove areas.
We pressurize each zone to check for leaks worsened by winter ground shifts, particularly problematic in older Fair Oaks properties. Nozzles are cleaned of mineral deposits from Sacramento's hard water, and heads are realigned to avoid overspray onto hot concrete that wastes water through evaporation. The service includes programming updates reflecting current water restrictions and a system efficiency report showing potential improvements.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should Sacramento systems be serviced?
We recommend spring and fall tune-ups to address seasonal changes - more often for properties with mature trees.
Do you repair winter damage?

Can you adjust for new landscaping?
We'll modify zones and schedules if you've added drought-tolerant plants or removed turf.
