🚨 Irrigation Valve Staying On? We Found the Problem! 💧

A client reached out to us because their irrigation valve was staying constantly open and would not shut off properly.

Upon inspection, we discovered old galvanized piping connected to an outdated backflow preventer that had completely rusted out. Rust and debris had broken loose inside the system and were interfering with the irrigation valve, preventing it from closing properly.

Our master technician replaced the old system with a brand-new backflow preventer, brass fittings, and new copper piping. Everything was insulated and professionally installed, bringing the system back up to proper working condition. 🔧💧

If you're experiencing irrigation problems, have an aging backflow preventer, or are looking to upgrade your irrigation system, give us a call!
