We repair Rain Bird in Selma
If your Selma 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.
Rain Bird ESP controller not turning on zones in Selma
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 Selma (no assigned days under Stage 1; no watering 8 a.m.–6 p.m.), so we check the schedule whenever we repair or replace one.
About Selma
Selma 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.
Selma had 24,674 residents at the 2020 census and sits at about 308 feet above sea level. Incorporated on March 15, 1893.
The 2020 census counted 7,224 housing units in Selma, and about 55.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. That works out to about 1,244 housing units per square mile.
Selma’s early growth leaned on irrigation: a water-driven mill was powered by the C&K Canal, a seasonal irrigation channel known locally as the Mill Ditch.
Rain Bird zone with low pressure or a leak in Selma
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.
Selma is about 18.2 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.
Rain Bird and watering in Selma
Selma is in Cal Water’s Selma District.
Cal Water’s Selma District is in Stage 1. Customers are not limited to specific watering days, but outdoor watering is prohibited from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Avoid runoff, do not water within 48 hours of measurable rain, and use a shut-off nozzle on any hose.
After a Rain Bird repair we test each zone and can set the controller to match. See the full Selma watering schedule.
Rain Bird valve stuck open or will not shut off in Selma
A Rain Bird valve that never closes is usually debris under the diaphragm, a worn diaphragm or a failing solenoid. One that never opens points to the same parts, or to a wiring fault. We test the solenoid and wire first, then rebuild or replace the valve.
A valve that sticks open runs a zone when the rules say it should be off (no assigned days under Stage 1; no watering 8 a.m.–6 p.m.), and one that will not open leaves a whole zone dry.
