Common Sprinkler Problems We Help Solve
Most homeowners don’t search for “sprinkler services.”
They search for the problem they’re experiencing.
If any of these sound familiar, you’re in the right place.
My sprinkler system won't turn on
A sprinkler system that won't start may have a controller problem, electrical issue, faulty valve, or interrupted water supply. Before assuming the entire system needs replacement, it's important to identify which component is preventing the system from operating. Our Sprinkler System Inspection and Sprinkler Repair services can help identify the source of the problem.
One sprinkler zone won't shut off
A sprinkler zone that continues running after its scheduled cycle may indicate a stuck valve, electrical issue, or controller malfunction. Continued water flow can waste water and create excessively wet areas in the yard. Professional Sprinkler Valve Repair can help determine why the zone isn't shutting off properly.
I have standing water or a sprinkler leak
Persistent wet spots, bubbling water, and soggy soil may indicate a hidden irrigation leak. However, poor drainage and natural low areas can produce similar symptoms. Sprinkler Leak Detection helps identify whether water is escaping from underground pipes, valves, or other irrigation components.
My lawn has brown spots
Dry or discolored areas may result from clogged sprinkler heads, poor coverage, damaged pipes, or incorrect watering schedules. Identifying whether the problem is related to water distribution or soil conditions is important before making adjustments. A sprinkler inspection can help determine why certain areas aren't receiving adequate water.
My controller stopped working
A controller that loses its schedule, fails to activate zones, or stops responding may have a power, wiring, programming, or hardware problem. Controller troubleshooting helps determine whether the unit needs adjustment, repair, or replacement.
My water bill suddenly increased
Unexpected increases in water usage may indicate hidden irrigation leaks, stuck valves, inefficient watering schedules, or other problems. Checking the irrigation system and identifying unusual water flow can help determine whether the sprinklers are contributing to higher water consumption.
Our Sprinkler Services
Every irrigation system has different needs. Whether you’re dealing with a broken sprinkler head, an underground leak, a malfunctioning controller, or an outdated watering system, identifying the right service is the first step toward an effective solution.
Whale Done provides sprinkler inspection, repair, maintenance, and irrigation improvement services throughout North Texas.

Freezing temperatures can damage exposed backflow preventers, pipes, fittings, and other vulnerable irrigation components. Winterization helps prepare the system for colder weather and reduce the risk of freeze-related damage.
Explore our Sprinkler Winterization services.
What Sprinkler Services Do Homeowners Need Throughout the Year?
Sprinkler systems experience different demands throughout the year. In North Texas, summer heat, changing soil conditions, heavy rainfall, and sudden winter freezes can affect irrigation performance.
Understanding seasonal irrigation needs helps homeowners identify problems early and determine when maintenance or repairs may be necessary.
Spring: Sprinkler System Inspection and Startup
Spring is a good time to inspect an irrigation system after winter. Before returning to regular watering schedules, homeowners should check sprinkler heads, valves, underground pipes, controllers, and individual zones.
A spring inspection can help identify freeze-related damage, leaks, clogged nozzles, and uneven coverage before the peak watering season.
Summer: Sprinkler Repairs and Watering Adjustments
North Texas summer heat increases the demand placed on irrigation systems. Broken sprinkler heads, underground leaks, clogged nozzles, and poor coverage can become more noticeable during periods of frequent watering.
Checking water pressure, adjusting sprinkler coverage, and addressing leaks can help maintain more consistent irrigation.
Fall: Seasonal Maintenance and System Preparation
Fall is an opportunity to inspect irrigation components and address existing problems before colder temperatures arrive.
Homeowners should check for leaking valves, exposed pipes, damaged sprinkler heads, and malfunctioning controllers. Completing necessary repairs before winterization can help prepare the system for freezing weather.
Winter: Sprinkler Winterization and Freeze Protection
Freezing temperatures can damage vulnerable irrigation components when water remains trapped inside pipes, fittings, or backflow assemblies.
Winterization helps prepare the system for colder conditions. Homeowners should also check exposed equipment and its protective covering after yard work or repairs.

Why Do North Texas Homes Need Professional Sprinkler Services?
Irrigation systems throughout North Texas face environmental conditions that can affect their performance over time. Homeowners in Collin County may experience problems related to expansive clay soil, extreme summer temperatures, heavy rainfall, and occasional freezing weather.
- Expansive Clay Soil and Underground Irrigation Pipes: Clay-rich soil can expand when wet and shrink during dry conditions. Repeated movement may place stress on underground irrigation pipes, fittings, and connections. This can contribute to leaks, damaged components, and changes in sprinkler performance.
- Extreme Summer Heat and Watering Demand: Long periods of hot weather can increase irrigation demand. Systems with incorrect watering schedules, poor coverage, or existing leaks may struggle to distribute water effectively. Inspecting sprinkler heads, checking water pressure, and adjusting watering schedules can help address these problems.
- Heavy Rainfall and Drainage Problems: Standing water doesn’t always indicate a broken sprinkler pipe. Poor grading, compacted soil, and inadequate drainage can also cause water to collect in the yard. Identifying whether the problem involves irrigation or drainage helps determine the appropriate solution.
- Sudden Freezes and Irrigation Damage: Although North Texas winters are often relatively mild, sudden cold fronts can bring freezing temperatures that affect exposed irrigation equipment and vulnerable pipes. Preparing the system before freezing weather and inspecting it before spring startup can help identify potential damage. Because every property has different soil, landscape, and irrigation conditions, professional evaluation helps determine which services are appropriate for each system.
What Happens During a Whale Done Assessment™?
A sprinkler problem doesn’t always have an obvious cause. A zone that won’t operate, a sudden increase in water usage, or a persistently wet area may involve several different irrigation components.

Test affected zones when appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I hire a licensed irrigation specialist?
Texas law requires most irrigation installation and repair work to be performed by licensed professionals. A licensed irrigator has specialized training in water conservation, irrigation design, and state regulations.
How often should my sprinkler system be checked?
Most homeowners benefit from a professional assessment at least once a year, especially before the peak watering season.
Do you provide estimates over the phone?
Because sprinkler problems can have multiple causes, we don’t believe it’s fair to guess. Our Whale Done Assessment™ is designed to identify the actual issue before recommending repairs.
Can you repair just one sprinkler head?
Absolutely. Some repairs are simple, while others reveal larger issues. Every recommendation is based on what we find during the assessment.
What Types of Sprinkler Problems Can Your Team Diagnose?

Yes. Our services include smart irrigation controller upgrades and controller troubleshooting. The appropriate solution depends on the existing equipment, system configuration, and homeowner’s watering requirements.
