Reliability-First Irrigation
Most repeat sprinkler problems are not random failures. They usually track back to pressure behavior, coverage mismatch, valve/wiring faults, or controller drift left unresolved.
We run service as diagnostics-first, then prioritize upgrades by ROI. That keeps repairs predictable, reduces water waste, and makes future visits faster.

Pressure and distribution issues are the common driver. When pressure discipline, zone balance, and controller assumptions are corrected together, repeat callbacks and water waste drop significantly.
| Symptom Repair | Root-Cause Service |
|---|---|
| Replace visible broken part only | Run-test zones and confirm pressure/flow behavior |
| Ignore coverage mismatch and drift | Rebalance coverage and tune practical runtimes |
| Keep high-pressure stress in system | Apply PRV strategy where pressure is excessive |
| No service notes for next visit | Document findings for consistent follow-through |
| Higher chance of repeat callbacks | More predictable in-season reliability |
Most repeat problems come down to a few root causes: leaks, coverage issues, valve symptoms, wiring faults, and unmanaged pressure. Our process is built to find the driver and fix it cleanly.
Outcome
We focus on repeat-failure drivers: leaks, coverage problems, valve symptoms, wiring issues, and pressure that shortens system life.
Method
We verify zones in the real world, document findings, and prioritize fixes so repairs stay predictable—not a guessing game.
Standard
When source pressure is excessive, we recommend a PRV path so irrigation operates in a regulated, maintainable range.
We confirm access, run-test zones when safe, and identify the driver: leaks, coverage, valves, wiring, controller drift, or pressure/flow constraints.
We prioritize the highest-ROI path: stop active waste/damage, restore predictable coverage, and recommend upgrades only where they reduce repeat problems.
We complete the approved repairs, then verify performance zone-by-zone and document what matters for follow-up.
Service Plans reduce mid-season surprises; SRMS adds connectivity and (when supported) abnormal-flow protection to shorten time-to-fix.
Seasonal care and repairs built around reliability and water discipline. If you’re not sure what you need, start with a start-up/inspection or book a tune-up and we’ll prioritize next steps.
Most irrigation problems are leaks, coverage issues, valve symptoms, excessive source pressure, or controller/program drift.

A disciplined spring start-up: slow pressurization, zone-by-zone verification, head adjustments, and clear findings that prevent mid-season failures and water waste.
SERVICE SEASON: MARCH thru SEPT
Included in the Essentials Plan
A service-first visit that finds the root cause—not just the symptom. If your system has already been activated and is safe to run, this is the faster (reduced-rate) way to get repairs started: we run-test zones, tune coverage, correct leaks and head/nozzle issues, and document what matters for follow-up.
REPAIR SEASON: MAY thru OCT
PLAN DISCOUNTS APPLY
Disciplined blow-out service that clears zones safely and reduces freeze risk. We flag weak points now—so spring doesn’t start with surprises.
Fuel surcharge: when diesel is above $4/gal,
add $5 per winterization visit.
SHUT-DOWN SEASON: SEPT thru NOV
Included in the Essentials Plan
When source pressure is elevated, we build a serviceable down-leg package and tune the system to our operating target (65 PSI) with a hard ceiling of 75 PSI. Components are sized to your service and documented for repeatable maintenance.
The SRMS Tier 1 Smart Node is our foundation package for select irrigation deployments — providing dedicated connectivity plus a Rachio 3 controller (8- or 16-zone) so the system can be configured and supported with service-first standards (optional monthly add-ons/subscriptions not included). It’s a strong fit for non-turf zones, feature irrigation, HOA common areas, and commercial sites where customer Wi-Fi isn’t available/reliable.

Core services include spring startup and inspection, tune-up and repair visits, winterization blow-outs, irrigation upgrades, and smart irrigation setup.
Most services use a simple structure: service call plus per-zone pricing by visit type, with final scope verified on-site.
Zone count is a major driver, plus access constraints, component condition, pressure and flow findings, and any approved upgrade scope.
Yes. Service is brand-agnostic and focused on root causes including leaks, coverage, valves, wiring, controller drift, and pressure issues.
We pressurize safely, run-test zones, check leaks and coverage, review controller behavior, and document prioritized next steps.
If your system is already activated and safe to run, a tune-up and repair visit is usually the faster path for diagnostics and corrective work.
Yes. Winterization includes disciplined zone clearing to reduce freeze risk and identify weak points before spring startup.
When source pressure is excessive, a PRV-based pressure path can reduce stress on components, improve distribution behavior, and lower repeat-failure risk.
Yes. We service and upgrade drip and micro-drip zones for beds, containers, and no-overspray areas where targeted watering is needed.
Service Plans provide scheduled seasonal care. SRMS adds smart-control and abnormal-flow protection capabilities where supported; together they improve follow-through.
Most work requires on-site verification because access, pressure under flow, wiring condition, and system health determine feasible scope.
We provide local irrigation service in the Rochester, MI area including Rochester Hills and nearby Oakland County communities.
