HELLO WORLD
Types of Sprinkler Valve Repairs We Work With
Stop and Waste Valves - Sprinkler Main Shut Off Valves - Irrigation Isolation Check Valves
In the Salt Lake Valley, stop and waste valves are the sprinkler main shut off valve required, given winterization requirements. The stop and waste valve performs two roles - first, as an isolation check valve, that allows you to turn water supply to the sprinkler system on and off, and second as a ‘waste’ valve that allows water to drain out of the system. Stop and waste valve repairs require a high level of expertise and Salt Lake City Sprinkler is the leading stop and waste valve repair specialist in the Salt Lake Valley.
Pressure Regulating Valves
Pressure regulating valves ensure that any pressure disruptions from the water supply don’t burst your irrigation system pipes.
Irrigation Lateral Line Drain Valves
Lateral line drain valves allow automatic flushing at the downstream ends and low spots in the irrigation system after each use.
Automatic Zone Control Valves - Solenoid Valves - Control Valve Manifolds
These valves are connected to your sprinkler control box and control the flow of water to the different irrigation zones. The solenoid enables automatic control of the valves by the controller system, and usually these control valves are joined together by a manifold in a valve box. We do some of the cleanest control valve manifold jobs in town.
Backflow Preventer Valves
From Pressure Vacuum Breakers to Reduced Pressure Zone Assemblies to Atmospheric Vacuum Breakers, these devices prevent dirty water from the irrigation system from ‘backflowing’ or contaminating the culinary drinking water system. We work with all types of backflow preventers and have a much higher level of experience in the aspects of underground water systems than most sprinkler repair companies.
Sprinkler Valve Repair or Should You Replace It?
The decision to repair a malfunctioning sprinkler valve or replace it is really dependent on the type of valve involved and the nature of the issue causing the malfunction. Sprinkler valves are complicated devices and it’s crucial to be able to rely on each valve to perform its role reliably and efficiently. Some valves can have minor issues that do not impact their ability to continue to operate. However, more often than not, valve malfunctions are most cost effectively replaced. Repairs that don’t provide a long term fix and have to be repaired again are usually not as cost effective as replacing the valve.
Our general rule of thumb is- if a single part of the valve isn’t working, like a solenoid, replacing that part will fix the issue. If the valve diaphragm is broken, we’ll replace it, but if the diaphragm is just clogged, we can often remove the obstruction and get the valve running again.
SIGNS OF SPRINKLER VALVE LEAKS
These are some of the signs to look out for that can indicate possible sprinkler valve issues that need expert attention.
Low Water Pressure
Decreased or uneven water pressure can indicate a sprinkler valve leak. Sprinklers spraying with less force than normal or a reduction in spray coverage are signs of low water pressure in the sprinkler system.
Soggy Patches in Lawn
Unexplained waterlogged, soggy, marshy patches in a Utah summer is unusual and if located around sprinkler valves, or the valve box, can signal a leaking sprinkler valve.
Unusual Pipe Sounds
Gurgling or hissing sounds emanating from the sprinkler valve box can happen when a sprinkler valve diaphragm fails or other internal valve issues, such a buildup of debris inside the valve.
Old Valves
Gurgling or hissing sounds emanating from the sprinkler valve box can happen when a sprinkler valve diaphragm fails or other internal valve issues, such a buildup of debris inside the valve.
Soil Erosion
Soil erosion due to unplanned water flow in the area of a control valve indicates a valve issue.
Sprinklers Won’t Turn Off
A sprinkler valve blockage can prevent the sprinkler system from turning off on its timing cycle.

Uneven watering or dry patches in the lawn can occur if sprinkler valves fail to function properly.
Why You Need To Get Your Sprinkler Valves Repaired ASAP
Letting sprinkler valve issues fester is a losing proposition, and you’re always money ahead to get the valves fixed as quickly as possible. Putting sprinkler valve repairs off inevitably leads to higher costs, in terms of landscaping and excess water bills. Here’s why it always makes sense to get the valve repair done now:
Conserve Water
Faulty sprinkler valves can waste a surprising amount of water. Given our drought conditions on the Wasatch Front, repairing malfunctioning valves conserves water and is the environmentally friendly thing to do.
Save Your Landscaping
Landscaping can’t survive Utah summers without proper irrigation and faulty sprinkler valves that go unaddressed can be a death knell for your lawn and other landscaping and vegetation.
Save Money
Invariably, the cost of paying higher water bills due to a leaking sprinkler valve are higher than getting the valve fixed.
Improve Sprinkler System Efficiency
New and modern sprinkler valves are more efficient and can significantly improve your sprinkler systems performance and ensure that all areas of your landscaping get just the right amount of irrigation. Many sprinkler systems are operating at a high level of inefficiency because of deferred valve maintenance.
