We repair Rain Bird in Kerman
If your Kerman yard runs on Rain Bird parts, we can fix it. We work on Rain Bird spray heads and rotors, valves and solenoids, controllers and drip tubing, and we test every zone before we leave. Some people spell it “Rainbird”; it is the same brand.
Everything is repaired from our Fresno location; see our national page on Rain Bird repair for the full list of Rain Bird problems we fix.
About Kerman
Kerman shares the Fresno area’s semi-arid San Joaquin Valley climate, with long, hot, dry summers, mild winters and about 11 inches of rain a year, so sprinklers carry most of the watering load.
Kerman had 16,016 residents at the 2020 census and sits at about 220 feet above sea level. Incorporated in 1946.
The 2020 census counted 4,512 housing units in Kerman, and about 58.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. That works out to about 1,381 housing units per square mile.
Kerman began around 1891 as “Collis,” a Southern Pacific watering tank and pump on the new Tracy–Fresno line.
Rain Bird sprinkler head not rotating or popping up in Kerman
A Rain Bird 1800 or 5000 that will not rotate or rise is most often dirt in the head, a worn gear or a stuck riser. A head that leaks at the top or the base usually has a worn seal or a crack. Most of these are fixed by swapping the head or its parts, then matching the nozzle and arc to the zone.
In Kerman the rules in short are: odd Tue/Thu/Sat, even Wed/Fri/Sun (Mar 2–Nov 30); two days in winter; never Mondays. A cracked or misaimed head puts water where it should not go, and a head that never rises leaves a dry patch until the next watering day.
Rain Bird and watering in Kerman
From March 2 through November 30, odd-numbered addresses water Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and even-numbered addresses Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. From December 1 through March 1, odd addresses water Tuesday and Saturday and even addresses Wednesday and Sunday. No watering on Mondays, and none between 6 and 8 a.m. or between noon and 7 p.m.
After a Rain Bird repair we test each zone and can set the controller to match. See the full Kerman watering schedule.
Rain Bird ESP controller not turning on zones in Kerman
A Rain Bird ESP timer that is dead, blank or skipping zones can have a power problem, a bad wire to the valve, or a lost program. We check power and zone output, repair or replace the controller, and set the schedule back up.
A controller that loses its program can put you on the wrong days in Kerman (odd Tue/Thu/Sat, even Wed/Fri/Sun (Mar 2–Nov 30); two days in winter; never Mondays), so we check the schedule whenever we repair or replace one.
Rain Bird zone with low pressure or a leak in Kerman
When every Rain Bird head on a zone sprays weakly, the cause is often not the heads but a broken line, a partly open valve or a leak upstream. We trace the zone before replacing parts so you do not pay to swap heads that were fine.
Kerman is about 15.1 miles from our Fresno location. A zone with low pressure or soggy ground usually points to a leaking line, and we trace it zone by zone.
