Yes, most Kansas communities, including Valley Center, require annual backflow testing for irrigation systems connected to city water supplies. The backflow preventer protects the municipal water supply from contamination and must be tested by licensed technicians. Our team will conduct the required testing, register results with your water department, and rebuild the preventer every five years as needed.

We recommend that your irrigation systems be winterized before the first hard freeze, typically in late October or early November. Our technicians use industrial-sized compressors to blow all water from the lines, preventing freeze damage during Valley Center's cold winters. Proper winterization protects pipes, valves, and sprinkler heads from costly damage due to freezing.

Our licensed technicians repair all major irrigation system brands, including Hunter, Rain Bird, Toro, and Irritrol. As Hunter Preferred Platinum Contractors with factory training, we maintain a parts inventory and expertise for all common systems found in Valley Center homes. We can diagnose and repair any irrigation system regardless of age or manufacturer.

Most irrigation repairs in Valley Center can be completed within a few hours, depending on the complexity of the issue. Simple repairs, such as replacing sprinkler heads or adjusting coverage patterns, are often completed in under an hour. More complex repairs, such as electrical troubleshooting, valve replacement, or pipe repairs, may take half a day. We provide time estimates after our initial inspection.

A sudden increase in your water bill often indicates a leak in your irrigation system. Turn off your irrigation system immediately and contact our team. Valley Center homeowners should look for obvious signs, such as constantly wet areas, water pooling on driveways, or sprinkler heads that won't shut off. Our technicians can quickly locate and repair leaks to prevent further water waste and property damage.

Valley Center's diverse soil types, ranging from sandy to clay, can significantly impact the performance of its irrigation systems. Clay soils common in the area can cause poor drainage and water pooling, while sandy regions may require more frequent watering cycles. Our technicians assess your specific soil type during repairs and adjust sprinkler head spacing, water pressure, and timing accordingly to ensure optimal performance. We also address drainage issues that are particularly common in the clay soil areas of Valley Center.

Yes, many Valley Center homes use private well water for irrigation, and our technicians are experienced with these systems. Well-fed irrigation systems have different pressure characteristics and don't require backflow testing, unlike city-connected systems. We can repair well pumps, pressure tanks, and control systems specific to private well irrigation setups common in rural Valley Center areas.

Valley Center and surrounding Kansas communities occasionally implement watering restrictions during drought conditions. Our technicians stay updated on local water regulations and can adjust your irrigation system to comply with any restrictions. We can install rain sensors and smart controllers that automatically adjust watering schedules based on weather conditions and local ordinances.
