WetFixt handles just about anything in the Outdoor World of Water, including Sprinklers, Irrigation, Lake Pumps, Wells and other “Wet Fixt” scenarios.
Common Sprinkler Problems
Here are some of the most common issues we see here in Austin:
Old Valves
Older valves can be hard to turn on, or worse, hard to turn off. A valve that doesn’t turn off all the way can cause water to pool around your sprinkler heads, spoiling the look of your lawn and encouraging rot and disease.
Sunken or shifting sprinkler heads
Over time, sprinkler heads can sink or shift position, leading to swampy ground around the sprinkler head and dry patches or brown spots due to poor coverage.
Leaking Valves
When a valve is leaking, water pools around the head and makes the ground marshy. Sprinkler leaks can also run up your water bill.
Old or faulty wiring
Faulty wiring can cause timers to malfunction and the failure of your system to function at the scheduled watering times.
Cracked piping
Underground piping that is broken or otherwise damaged can lead to expensive leaks.
If you experience any of the above or other sprinkler issues, give us a call. While you wait for our Team to arrive, we recommend that you turn off the water supply to your system at the backflow device to prevent the possibility of further damage and water waste.
Broken Rain Sensor
Many water districts, MUDs or HOAs require a functioning water sensor. A great alternative is a new Rachio Smart Controller rather than dealing with a broken sensor all the time.
