Free Sprinkler Inspection for Caruthers homes
Instead of guessing why the lawn is patchy, we run each zone and look. Heads that do not pop up, mismatched nozzles, leaks, weak pressure and bad wire show up quickly when you watch the zone work.
You get a clear list, organized by valve, with what each fix involves. Decide what to repair and when.
In Caruthers, an inspection finds leaks, runoff and mismatched heads, the problems most likely to waste water.
