Service Overview
Our team recently completed a comprehensive sprinkler repair diagnostic service call in Grand Prairie, Texas. This case study showcases our systematic approach to identifying and resolving complex irrigation system issues that were affecting the proper functioning of a residential sprinkler system.
Key Repairs Completed
During this service call, our certified technician successfully replaced a damaged 1 1/2" mainline and repaired a malfunctioning 1" Rainbird valve. These critical components were essential for restoring optimal water pressure and distribution throughout the entire sprinkler system.
Diagnostic Process
Our diagnostic approach begins with a comprehensive system evaluation. We assess water pressure, check for leaks, examine valve functionality, and test each zone to identify potential issues. In this particular case, our technician discovered that the mainline had suffered significant damage, likely due to ground settling or root intrusion.
Technical Assessment
The initial assessment revealed low water pressure in multiple zones, indicating a problem with the main water supply line. Further investigation uncovered a compromised 1 1/2" mainline that required immediate replacement. Additionally, the Rainbird valve showed signs of wear and inconsistent operation, necessitating repair to ensure reliable zone control.
