Performing summer maintenance checks keep a sprinkler system efficient and prevent small issues—clogged nozzles, misaligned heads, hidden leaks, or failing valves—from turning into wasted water, stressed turf, and major repairs during peak watering season. Doing these quick checks can avoid leak-driven water bills and repair costs that often range from a couple hundred dollars to $500 to $2,000 for broken backflow preventers and cracked manifolds.
High temperatures can cause brown patches, broken pipes, and more unwanted—and costly—damage. Follow these steps to ensure your yard (and wallet) stay green:
1. Run Each Zone: Look for low pressure, uneven coverage, dry spots, or misting/fogging (often a sign of too-high pressure.)
2. Inspect Heads & Nozzles: Replace broken sprinkler heads, clean clogged nozzles/filters, straighten tilted heads, and adjust arcs to prevent overspray.
3. Check for Leaks & Soggy Areas: Inspect valve boxes, fittings, and turf for water pooling that indicate leaks or stuck valves.
4. Evaluate Watering Schedule for Peak Heat: Adjust controller runtimes/start times, use cycle-and-soak for runoff-prone zones, etc.

To fix a leaking sprinkler valve, you’ll typically need repair parts such as a replacement diaphragm, O-rings, or a new solenoid. These parts address common causes of leaks and are available in sprinkler valve repair kits. It’s essential to match the parts with your specific valve model to ensure compatibility and a proper seal.
To use the Febco PVB Check Assembly Kit, first turn off the device’s water inlet valve. Next, open the test cocks and remove the bell, bonnet, poppet, spring and check valve. Once these parts are removed, insert the new check valve and reinsert the new PVB internal parts in the reverse order that you originally removed them. Lastly, open the inflow valve and close the test cocks.
A well-maintained sprinkler system typically lasts anywhere from 15 to 20 years. However, individual components may wear out sooner. Sprinkler heads often last 5 to 10 years, while valves, seals, and nozzles may need replacement due to general wear. Pipes and main lines will usually last as long as they aren’t damaged by freezing or lawn equipment. Just remember that fixing leaks, cleaning nozzles, and winterizing the system can help extend the overall lifespan.
Most sprinklers use standard ½-inch female threaded connections that fit common irrigation pipes and risers. However, it’s best to keep the same type of nozzle or precipitation rate within a single zone. Mixing brands with different spray patterns, flow rates, or pressures can cause uneven watering. If possible, match the spray radius and nozzle type of the existing sprinklers for consistent coverage.
Try to repair a sprinkler part when the problem is limited to a small, replaceable component, such as a clogged nozzle, damaged sprinkler head cap, worn seal, broken riser, or leaking fitting. These repairs are usually inexpensive and can restore normal operation quickly. Replace the entire component when the body is cracked, badly worn, repeatedly leaking, or when internal damage makes repairs unreliable. For older sprinkler heads or valves, replacement may also be more practical if compatible repair parts are difficult to find.
To repair a cracked or broken sprinkler pipe, first shut off the water and dig around the damaged section. Cut out the cracked area with a clean, square cut, then install a replacement section using fittings made for your pipes. Allow glued PVC joints to cure as directed, then turn the water back on and check for leaks before backfilling the hole.
The first step to repairing your fault diaphragm is to turn off the sprinkler water supply. Next, unscrew the valve bonnet from the valve body and remove the valve bonnet assembly and spring. Once the valve bonnet assembly and spring are extracted, gently pry the damaged diaphragm out of its seat and flush out the valve body and seat with clean water. After that, you’ll need to press in the new diaphragm and replace the spring and the valve bonnet. Finally, tighten the screws, turn on the water, and check for leaks.
