Sprinkler Heads
Sprinkler Heads may need to be moved to adapt to changing needs of the Homeowner. If a pool is installed the sprinkler pipes and heads get ripped out. What a mess! Oklahoma Drainage has rebuilt many sprinkler systems because of a new Swimming pool.
Sprinkler heads may need to be adjusted. If they are “out of Wack” they may unnecessarily spray out into the street or blast your front door. We can adjust them for you.
Sprinkler Valves
Your Sprinkler valves can be a big source of sprinkler problems. They can stick, leak, or just wear out. No problem!
Leaks
Sprinkler Pipes can crack or leak due to cold weather, tree roots, or bad installation. Water can continuously dribble out of a sprinkler head if the valve doesn’t close properly.
Back-Flow-Valve Service, Sprinkler Repair
Oklahoma Drainage and Sprinkler Repair Provides Service for Back-Flow-Valves and all types of Lawn Sprinkler Repair and Service. We have provided Expert Service for all of Central and Western Oklahoma Since 1993.
Back-Flow-Valves
There are two types of Back-Flow-Valves.
Above Ground
What is a Back-Flow-Valve?
A Back-Flow-Valve is a part of a Lawn Sprinkler System. Water passes through it from the water source which can be a Water Meter or a Well Pump. It forces water to travel in only one direction from the source to the sprinkler system. It can’t travel backward back to the water source which again is a water meter or well pump.
A Back-Flow-Valve provides protection to the water source from back pressure and chemical contamination from lawn fertilizer.
Most Cities require a Back-Flow-Valve as “Code” for Sprinkler Installation.
Emergency Shut off
Back-Flow-Valves usually have an Emergency Shutoff valve on them that can shut off the water to the lawn sprinkler system but keep the water turned on to the home. Most Back-Flow-Valves have two Emergency Shut off Handles. Either one will work. Many times, they are hard to turn, however.
If there is a leak or water is shooting up in the air just turn the valve handle and give us a call.

Cut Sprinkler Wires
Sprinkler wires are essential for your sprinkler system to function. They connect your Sprinkler Controller to your Valves.
Usually, a Sprinkler Controller is located in the Garage, but they can be located anywhere on the property that has a standard 110 electrical outlet. Let’s assume that your sprinkler controller is in your garage. The sprinkler wire is connected specific posts inside the controller that send power to the sprinkler valves. Sprinkler Wire is, “Multistrand.” Each strand is a different color. Five, Eight, and twelve strand sprinkler wire are the most common.
If you have 6 zones in your sprinkler system, then you will need 8 strand wire. One wire for each of the valves. One wire for the “Ground” which is usually white in color. And one wire left over that is not used. Your Sprinkler Wire must have one or two more wires than the number of Sprinkler Valves that you have.
Sprinkler wire is run out the back of the sprinkler controller and through the wall. Once outside it is buried under ground and running to all the underground Sprinkler Valves.

Sprinkler Controller
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.
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.
