One Common problem is that they continue to run and won’t shut off. In most cases this is a problem with a sprinkler valve that has “Stuck” in the on position.
This can be temporarily solved by shutting of the Emergency Shutoff Valve. The problem is that some sprinkler systems don’t have one to turn off or if they do the homeowner doesn’t know where it is.
Above Ground Back-Flow-Valve.
It may be on the back-flow valve which may be located on the side of the house under a big plastic fake rock.
Many sprinkler systems in Oklahoma have them. (50 % ?) Under the plastic rock is a back-flow valve with two shut off handles. Usually, they have blue or green or tan handles. Turn one of the handles and it should shut off the water to your sprinkler system.
Other times the Emergency Shutoff Valve is in a box in the ground out by the curb near your water meter. The valve box will have a green lid. Sometimes they are difficult to open. Many times, I had to pry them open with a flat head screwdriver.
Inside the valve box is a plastic handle that can turn off the water to the sprinkler system. It can be blue or red or grey in color.
Many times, the valve box will be full of dirt, and you can’t turn or even see the handle until some of the dirt has been dug out by hand.
Water might be shooting up in the air somewhere on your property. This can be caused by a broken sprinkler pipe or sprinkler valve.

We Install Drainage Systems to fit various needs for homeowners an businesses. A Drainage System can utilize French Drains, Surface Drains, Channel Drains or Sump Pumps as the intake part to the Drainage System.
The Drain or Sump Pump brings water into the Drainpipe. The Drainpipe takes the water to the ” Exit.” Which is Either a “Curb Outlet” or a “ Pop Up Emitter.”
The Three parts of A Drainage System are: THE INTAKE (French Drain or Surface Drain ) etc. The TRANSITION (The Pipe) which can be many sizes or type. The EXIT ( A Curb Outlet or Pop Up Emitter )

Need for a Drainage System
The Drainage part of our company name means that we solve water problems for people in Oklahoma. Heavy rain is becoming more common. Back in 1993 when I first started, a hard rain was considered to be about an Inch per/hour. It was fairly rare but not too uncommon. Today things are different. A weather report of rain falls at or above 4 inches per/hour was not uncommon in 2019. Excess water causes all types of damage to property both residential and commercial.
Our Drainage Systems drain water away from places you don’t want it to be. You might have water standing along the foundation of your house, or inside your basement. You might have water on your driveway or flowerbed too.
Designing a French Drain or a Drainage System
When I talk to a potential customer while doing a Drainage System estimate, I take a lot of things into consideration. First, I have the Customer show me where water is standing or where it is going that it shouldn’t. This is part of defining the specific problem area.
Sometimes the Water Problem Area is larger and more involved than the customer realizes. Once the Water Problem Area is clearly defined, the next step is to determine how the water is getting to the problem area. Many times, there is more than one Water Source to the Water Problem area. A big mistake in Drainage System Design is to stop once the most obvious Water Source is found.
A Drainage System Designer must be a detective to some degree. For Example: Water running down the hill and onto the back patio might be the most obvious water source. Sub-surface water or a neighbor’s new gutter downspout could also be contributing. Most of the time water gets into the problem area from more than one source.
Next you must decide where to take the water. This is determining an Exit Point for the Drainage System. If possible, you want your exit point to be downhill from the problem area. If it is up hill in all directions from the problem area, then the only solution is a Sump Pump.
Once an exit Point is determined,
you must ask yourself if there is any way to install two exit points. Usually this can only work when an exit point can work on both ends of a Drainage System. The benefit of two Exit Points in a Drainage System is it greatly increases the water capacity. It can move much more water faster during a heavy rain than a system with just one Exit Point. Most Drainage Systems can only utilize one Exit Point. With 30 years of Drainage Installation, I would say 10% of our Drainage Systems have two Exit Points.

Next we have to decide what type of drain to install in the problem area. If it is a small area with one water source, or lots of sources.
