Sprinkler Repair in Provo
Most Provo yards water off secondary, which is untreated pressurized water on a separate line from your house. It is cheaper than culinary water, but it runs on a calendar. The provider turns it on around mid-April and shuts it off around mid-October, on dates that shift a little every year. Outside those dates your controller can be set perfectly and still be watering nothing at all.
Spring startup is where a lot of systems break. The lines sit dry all winter, and when someone cranks the main valve open fast, the surge slams into fittings and heads. That is how you find a geyser in the park strip the first week the water comes back. Opening valves slowly is half of a good startup. Walking every zone while it runs is the other half, and most people skip it.
Then there is the clay. Provo's valley soil takes water slowly, so a long cycle runs off the lawn and down the gutter before it soaks in. We fix the heads and the coverage, then set cycle-and-soak programs, two or three short bursts about 30 minutes apart. It matters more every year, too, since Utah law requires every secondary connection to be metered by January 1, 2030.
Provo runs from the Utah Lake flats up to the Rock Canyon bench, so one side of town is heavy clay and the other is gravel, and the yard has to be built for the ground it actually sits on.

The Provo challenges
Dry lines plus a fast-opened valve means cracked fittings, popped heads and split pipe. Plenty of Provo homeowners only find out when a zone will not build pressure in April. We open the system slowly, run each zone, and fix what the winter or the surge broke before it floods anything.
Long cycles on Provo clay sheet off the lawn, leave puddles at the low spots and still leave dry patches at the high ones. The fix is not more water. It is shorter cycles, better head spacing and matched nozzles, so each zone puts down an even amount.
Secondary water is untreated, so it can carry grit and bits of plant matter that plug nozzles and drip emitters. A plugged nozzle shows up as a brown arc in an otherwise green lawn. Cleaning screens, and adding a filter where it makes sense, keeps coverage even.
When secondary water shuts off in mid-October, whatever is left in the lines sits there. Once the cold nights come it freezes, splitting pipe and cracking valves you will not see until spring. A blowout with compressed air clears every zone before that happens.
The J&H approach
We run every zone, walk the yard while it runs, and look for broken heads, leaks, low pressure and dry spots. A lot of Provo repairs turn out to be one broken fitting causing three symptoms. We fix the cause, not each symptom one at a time.
We adjust or replace heads, match nozzles within each zone, and set the controller to cycle-and-soak. Lawn and planting beds go on separate zones, so the shrubs are not drowning just to keep the grass green.
In spring we bring systems online slowly once the secondary water is back. In fall we blow out the lines around the shutoff, before a hard freeze. Book either one early, because everyone in Provo needs both in the same few weeks.
