Sprinkler Valve Repair & Replacement for Selma homes
Every zone is run by a valve in a box in the ground. Inside is a diaphragm that seals the water and a solenoid that opens it when the controller sends a signal. Debris, a worn diaphragm, a failing solenoid or a broken wire are the usual reasons a valve will not open or will not close.
We repair what can be repaired and replace valves that are cracked or buried in bad shape, and we can rebuild a manifold when several valves are failing at once. Each zone is tested again before we leave.
A valve stuck open ignores the schedule. Fixing it in Selma means the controller is in charge again, and the program you set is the one that runs.
