Common Irrigation Problems in Westchester & Fairfield (And How to Fix Them Fast!)

When Sprinklers Go Wrong (And Why It’s Always at the Worst Time)

Ever noticed how sprinkler problems always seem to show up when you least expect them? You go outside, expecting to see a perfectly watered lawn, and instead, you find:

  • A geyser shooting water into the sky like Old Faithful.
  • A suspiciously large puddle where your lawn used to be.
  • A bone-dry patch of grass that looks like it gave up on life.

Yeah, we’ve seen it all. Sprinkler issues aren’t just annoying—they can be costly if left unchecked. Whether it’s a leak, a wiring problem, or a system that refuses to turn on, these problems can waste water, damage your landscape, and drive up your bills.

The Usual Suspects: What Goes Wrong with Irrigation Systems

If you’re having sprinkler problems, chances are it’s one of these:

  • Leaks & Clogs – A cracked pipe, a busted valve, or a clogged nozzle can turn an efficient system into a water-wasting disaster.
  • Broken Sprinkler Heads – Whether they got knocked off by a lawnmower or just wore out over time, a missing head means uneven watering and wasted water.
  • Wiring Issues – If your system won’t turn on, a faulty wire or bad connection could be to blame.
  • Controller Failures – Your system’s brain is only as good as its programming—and if your controller is outdated, misconfigured, or malfunctioning, it’s time for an upgrade.
  • Backflow Prevention Problems – If your backflow preventer fails, your irrigation water could contaminate your drinking water supply (which, obviously, is bad news).
