Sprinkler Repair in Orem

In Orem, a sprinkler leak costs you twice

Orem is the one town around here with no secondary water. Your sprinklers run on the same treated culinary water as your kitchen tap, billed on tiered rates. A broken head that runs for a month, or a zone that sprays the street every morning, is not just ugly. It shows up on your bill, and in July it can push you into the top tier without you watering one extra blade of grass.

There is another Orem difference people miss. In towns with secondary water, the provider shuts it off in October and that is your reminder to winterize. In Orem nobody shuts anything off for you. The sprinklers stay tied to your house water until someone closes the valve and blows out the lines. Wait too long and the first hard freeze cracks pipe, valves and the backflow preventer.

We fix the leaks and broken parts, then tune the system so each zone puts down even water on Orem's slow clay. That usually means shorter cycles repeated a few times, matched nozzles, and drip for the beds. A well-tuned system can keep the same yard green on noticeably less culinary water, which is the whole point of fixing it right.

Orem is the one town around here with no secondary water, so the sprinkler design shows up on your culinary bill in a way it does not for the neighbors.

The Orem challenges

Orem sprinkler problems we fix

Hidden leaks on culinary water

A cracked fitting under the lawn can leak for weeks before you see a soft spot. On culinary rates you pay for every gallon of it. A bill that jumps in a month when you did not water more is often the first sign something is broken underground.

Runoff on bench clay

Orem clay takes water slowly. A long cycle runs off onto the driveway and down the gutter before it soaks in, which is treated culinary water going straight to the storm drain. Two or three short cycles with a soak in between let the clay drink it instead, and the gutter stays dry.

No shutoff date to remind you

Since no provider turns your irrigation off, it is easy to miss the fall window. A cold snap in late October can crack the backflow preventer and split lines before anyone remembers the blowout is overdue. The damage hides until the first spring startup.

Old systems with mixed parts

Many Orem yards have systems added onto over decades. Mismatched heads in the same zone, lawn and shrubs on one valve, and brittle old pipe all waste water and leave dry spots that tempt you to water even longer. Turning up the timer only floods the zones that were fine.

The J&H approach

How we repair and tune Orem systems

1 How we handle it

Find and fix leaks first

We run each zone, check pressure, look for soggy spots and broken heads, and repair whatever is leaking. Stopping a leak is the fastest way to cut wasted culinary water, so it comes before any fine-tuning.

2 How we handle it

Tuned for clay and the bill

We match nozzles within zones, separate lawn from beds, convert beds to drip, and program a smart controller with cycle-and-soak timing. Each part of the yard gets what it needs and nothing extra, and the controller backs off on its own after a rainy week.

3 How we handle it

Startups and blowouts you will not forget

We open the system slowly in spring after the hard frosts and check every zone. In fall we close the irrigation valve and blow out every line before the freeze, and protect the backflow device while we are at it.

"Jackson and his crew did a phenomenal job on our back yard. I had a vision and they brought it to life. We had them do a retaining wall, grading, underground trampoline, sprinkler system, and sod. They met deadlines, communication was on point, and the whole crew was friendly.…"

Orem questions

Sprinkler Repair in Orem: what people ask

When should I winterize sprinklers in Orem?
Before the first hard freeze, which usually means sometime in October. Orem has no secondary shutoff date to remind you, so it is on you. We blow out every zone with compressed air and protect the backflow preventer so it makes it to spring.
When should I turn my sprinklers on in spring?
After the hard freezes are behind you. Orem's last frost is usually in late April, and turning on earlier risks a full line freezing overnight. We open the valve slowly so the surge does not crack fittings, then test every zone.
Why is my Orem water bill so high in summer?
Lawns on culinary water are usually the biggest use, and a leak, a broken head or long cycles on clay make it worse. On tiered rates, the last gallons you use cost the most. Fixing leaks and tuning the system is the cheapest place to start.
Is a smart controller worth it in Orem?
Usually, yes. A smart controller adjusts watering to the weather and skips cycles after rain. On culinary water, skipping even a few cycles you did not need each month adds up over a long, dry summer.

Your dream yard. Done right. Done on time.
