South Florida Sprinkler Help Center
A growing library of plain-English answers to the most common sprinkler problems we see in Miami-Dade and Broward. Written by real irrigation techs — not SEO filler.
Zones & Valves
When one zone won't turn on, won't shut off, or skips its turn entirely.
Why Is My Sprinkler Zone Not Turning On?
When one zone stays dry while others run, the problem is almost always electrical or in the valve itself — not the heads.
Why Is My Sprinkler Zone Not Shutting Off?
A zone that runs nonstop is wasting hundreds of gallons per hour. The culprit is usually inside the valve, not the timer.
Why Is My Index Valve Not Changing Zones?
Index valves were the standard in older Miami homes — and when they stick, the whole system waters one zone forever.
Pressure & Coverage
Weak arcs, dry patches, overspray, or pooling water.
Why Is My Sprinkler System Losing Pressure?
When heads barely arc and your lawn isn't getting full coverage, pressure has dropped somewhere between your source and the heads.
Why Are My Sprinklers Spraying the Driveway?
Water on concrete is water wasted — and in some Miami-Dade and Broward neighborhoods it can get you cited for water waste.
Why Is My Lawn Still Dry Even Though Sprinklers Run?
Sprinklers running on schedule doesn't mean your lawn is actually getting water. Coverage is what matters.
Why Is Water Pooling in My Yard?
A persistent wet spot in dry weather is your yard telling you something underground is leaking.
Timers & Electrical
Controllers, schedules, wiring, and surge-damaged boards.
Storm & Weather
Post-storm troubleshooting and rain sensor problems.
Water Quality
Iron staining, mineral buildup, and well-water specific issues.
Pumps & Wells
When the pump runs but no water comes out, or pressure won't build.
System Upgrades
Index-to-electric conversions, smart controllers, and new install planning.
