What we know about Selma
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.
Groundwater irrigation also took hold early, when William De La Grange of Selma drilled an open-bottom well.
At about 308 feet, Selma shares the Fresno area’s semi-arid San Joaquin Valley climate, with long, hot, dry summers, mild winters and average rainfall of around 11 inches a year.
Sprinkler Repair in Selma, CA
A sprinkler system fails one part at a time. A head gets run over, a lateral line weeps at a joint, a valve diaphragm wears, or a timer loses its program. Repair means finding which part, not guessing, so we run each zone and look at coverage, pressure and drainage before touching a fitting.
We repair sprinkler heads, nozzles, risers, lateral lines, valves, wiring and timers. We show you what we find and what each fix involves before the work starts.
In Selma, a system that leaks, sprays pavement or misses its zone is wasting water the rules are meant to protect. A repair brings each zone back to its job.
