Before you book irrigation & sprinkler installation, repair
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Run the system and watch it
Turn each zone on at dusk or morning and walk the yard. Note broken heads, geysers, dry spots and spray hitting walls or the street, then add photos to the job.
Find the controller and the shutoff
Locate the controller, the valve box and the main shutoff for the system, and note which zone covers which area. A pro finds the problem faster with that map.
Mark the heads and buried lines
Flag the heads you want kept and any buried lines, cable or wires you know of. This matters most before digging for a new system.
Note water bills and pressure
A bill that jumped for no reason, or weak pressure at the heads, can point to a leak. Share what you noticed so the pro looks for it.
Ask about backflow and permits
Ask whether your area needs a permit or a backflow test for the work and who handles it. A pro on NorTech tells you what they do and what you must file.
Ask about the warranty
Each pro lists a workmanship warranty on their profile. Ask how long parts and labor are covered and what the manufacturer covers separately.
Say where in Union City you are
