Damaged wiring locating & repairHave you recently had any digging or trenching on your property and now you have dead zones? Does your timer say a zone is running but it's not working?

What are your control valves?
Irrigation control valves, sometimes referred to as globe valves or "the hearts of the system" are placed inline with your water supply for each zone. A plunger solenoid, which is wired to your timer, electronically activates these valves to supply water to your zone.
There are multiple reasons why a valve can fail by sticking open or not opening at all.
If you don't know where your valves are, We have various tools and methods to locate them
How do we find your missing valves?
We use several methods to locate missing valves
The most common way is to use our Greenlee 521A valve locator tool. Similar to the tool used by the utility companies, we send a tone down the valve wiring, using the receiver to "follow" the signal through your yard, ending at your valve. This method can also aid in locating broken wires. Expensive tool but it works!
The second method, although not practical in a noisy environment, is a device that makes the solenoid "chatter". This chatter can be heard quite a distance away from the valve, depending on how much dirt is packed in the valve box.
We occasionally find valves for zones that customers didn't know they had!
Corroded wiring
Corroded wiring, usually due to improper or unsealed wire connections inside the valve box can occasionally cause a high resistance scenario and some timers will show an error and disable that zone.
Iron in your well water
If you're on a well for irrigation water supply, there's a good chance the water has high iron content (see those brown stains on everything?). These high levels can affect the flexible rubber diaphragm, making it stiff and not open, and sometimes get stuck in the open position. A new diaphragm and solenoid along with a thorough cleaning of the housing will make the valve operate like new!
With well water, it's not a matter of IF a valve will fail, it's a matter of WHEN!
Stuck solenoid
Iron in the water also affects the metal plungers on solenoids, causing them to stick and prevent the valves from opening or closing
A new solenoid is installed with every valve rebuild
