This is the process of turning irrigation water back on after the winter season, verifying that the irrigation timer is set and running correctly, and ensuring that each irrigation system zone is operating properly.  During this process, we initialize flow through each valve, and check both the backflow device and valves for any leaks or damage from the winter. We also verify that there are no visible leaks in the mainline plumbing. 

Next, each zone is run, verifying operation and ensuring that there are no leaks in the lateral plumbing lines, or at any of the individual sprinkler heads, drip lines, drip fittings, or any other above ground component. We then make minor adjustments, as needed, to sprinkler heads and nozzles, and replace broken/missing drip fittings to ensure maximum coverage and minimal water waste. Finally, we verify that the irrigation timer is working properly and set correctly to maximize plant health, while optimizing water usage and alignment with homeowner goals. 

The adjustments and/or repairs included in this service are limited to ones that can be made without “breaking ground” or without the need to dig. 30 minutes of labor time to make these simple repairs is included in this service. Additional repairs will be discussed with and approved by Customer, and billed at DBI’s current labor rate for the type of work performed. Customer will also be responsible for the cost of all materials/hardware.
