Frequently asked questions about irrigation & sprinkler repair
These irrigation FAQs cover the most common questions homeowners in Senoia, Peachtree City, Newnan, Union City, Fairburn and Metro Atlanta ask before scheduling irrigation repair or installation.
1. How do I know if I need irrigation repair instead of just adjusting my timer?
If you see soggy spots, dry patches that never green up, water bubbling out of the ground, or very low pressure in one zone, you likely need irrigation repair, not just a timer tweak. The Irrigation Guru can quickly test each zone, check heads, and inspect valves to find the real issue.
2. Do you offer emergency irrigation repair near me?
Yes. For major leaks, broken pipes, or systems that won’t shut off, we offer same-day emergency irrigation repair in Senoia, Peachtree City, Newnan, Union City, Fairburn and nearby Metro Atlanta areas, based on availability.
3. Can you design and install a completely new irrigation system?
Absolutely. We provide new irrigation installation including zone design, head layout, drip lines for beds, and smart controller setup so each area of your yard gets the right water at the right time.
4. What cities do you serve?
The Irrigation Guru serves Senoia, Peachtree City, Newnan, Sharpsburg, Union City, Fairburn, Tyrone, Palmetto and the surrounding south Metro Atlanta area.
5. How often should my irrigation system be checked?
At minimum, we recommend a seasonal irrigation tune-up once or twice a year – typically before peak summer heat and before winter. This catches leaks, misaligned heads, and clogged nozzles before they become expensive problems.
6. Can you upgrade my old irrigation controller to a smart WiFi controller?
Yes. We routinely replace older controllers with modern WiFi-enabled controllers that adjust watering by weather, season, and time-of-day restrictions. This is one of the best upgrades for both water savings and lawn health.
7. Why is one irrigation zone not coming on?
A single zone not working is usually caused by a bad solenoid, a wiring issue, a stuck valve, or a broken pipe. We can test the electrical side and the plumbing side to find the exact cause and fix it properly.
8. Why is my water bill suddenly higher than normal?
A hidden irrigation leak or a controller that’s running too often is usually to blame. If your bill spikes without a good reason, it’s smart to schedule an irrigation inspection to check for underground leaks, stuck valves, or mis-programmed schedules.
9. Do you work with both spray heads and rotors?
Yes. We repair and install traditional spray heads, rotor heads, drip lines, and specialty nozzles. Each type has its place depending on the size, shape, and slope of your lawn and landscape beds.
10. How long does a typical irrigation repair visit take?
Many small irrigation repairs can be diagnosed and fixed in under an hour. Larger issues like broken main lines, multiple zone failures, or complex redesigns can take longer. We always explain what we find and get your approval before doing significant work.
11. Can you help me make my irrigation system more water-efficient?
Definitely. We can change nozzles, adjust pressure, shorten runtimes, convert overspraying heads to drip irrigation, and install smart controllers. The goal is to keep your lawn green while reducing waste and runoff.
