Sprinkler Repair – French Drain Installation – Drainage System Installation
This week Oklahoma Drainage and Sprinkler Repair overhauled a flowerbed Sprinkler Zone in a Sprinkler System in East Edmond.
The homeowner had an existing Sprinkler System that was in good shape for the most part but had problems with the flowerbed Sprinkler Zone. It had a Drip Sprinkler Zone installed. The Drip Sprinkler System was installed correctly but was not practical for the flower bed.
The flowerbed was very sandy and could not retain water very well even with good mulch. Plus, the surrounding brick walls increased the amount of heat the plants had to endure in the summer. The Drip Sprinkler Zone could not provide enough water fast enough for the plants.
To solve the problem, we took out the Drip Sprinkler Zone and replaced it with a traditional “Pop-Up Sprinkler Zone.”
Problem solved.

Recently in Edmond
Many times, Sprinkler heads get, “Out of Wack.” Lawn mowers and weed eaters are notorious for this. Sprinkler heads start spraying water in the wrong place. It is frustrating to water concrete while plants and grass go without moisture.
Recently we had a customer who had sprinkler heads that were spraying out into the street more than they were hitting her yard.
The problem sprinkler head was out of adjustment. The Rotor Sprinkler Head was turning too far to the right as it turned. Water was spraying across the road and into the neighbor’s yard.
The Sprinkler Head Adjustment only took a few minutes. Our customer then requested that we check the entire sprinkler system. We started at Zone one and carefully put each zone through its Pases.
Sprinkler Controller Help
Edmond Sprinkler Repair
Sprinkler Controller Programming is sometimes difficult.
We can help with programming or replace a Sprinkler Module if it is defective.
“Start Time” programing many times is confusing for homeowners. The definition of a Start Time is a time that is chosen for the sprinkler system to start watering. It causes zone 1 to start running. When zone 1 is finished it automatically stops and zone 2 begins. When Zone 2 is complete it stops and zone 3 begins. Simple enough Right! This continues until the last zone programed available runs.
The confusion begins when people think that a time needs to be set to start zone 2 and 3 and so on. This is not the case. They follow zone 1 which has the only Start Time programmed into the controller.
Sprinkler Controllers have a feature providing multiple start times, up to 4 Start Times are usually available. These additional start times are only used when a person wants to run the entire system more than once in a 24-hour period.
For Example, the first Start Time is set at 9Am. Zone 1 begins to run at 9am. When Zone 1 is done, say 10 minutes later, Zone 2 begins and runs for 10 minutes, then zone 3 follows and so on. By 10 am let’s say all the zones have run. Let’s say 8 hours later you have a second start time at 6 Pm. Zone 1 comes on and runs and by 7pm all the zones have run again. So, the controller has 2 start times which have caused the Sprinkler System to run start to finish twice in a 24-hour period.
Here is the big problem! Some Homeowners believe the second start time is to start zone 2 running. They also think that the 3rd start time is to start zone 3 and the 4-start time is to run zone 4. No!!
The Mistake
So, this is how they program the controller. At 9am they have a start time and zone 1 starts. The homeowner programs a second start time at 9:10 am to mistakenly start zone 2. Nope! It starts zone 1 all over again. At 9:2o they have a 3rd start time for zone 3. Nope! It starts zone 1 for a third time. Now the controller is stuck in a loop and zone 1 runs constantly and won’t shut off.
“Run Time,” is completed Next. It determines how long each zone runs. Zone One 10 Minutes, Zone Two, 15 Minutes, Zone Three 8 Minutes. You can set how long you want each zone to run.
Edmond Sprinkler Repair
We rebuilt a Sprinkler System that hadn’t worked in years. This took place in West Yukon.
We started with the Valves
The Sprinkler Valves were located in the back yard near the pool. Six valves were located in one place. They were very tightly connected in one Manifold. None of the Sprinkler Valves had worked in a long time. They were Toro Valves that were over 20 years old. They all had to be replaced.
Surprisingly there was no shut-off valve for the Sprinkler Water. The water had to be shut off at the Meter so we could install a Manual Shut off valve. Once installed, the water was turned back on that ran to the house. The water that ran to the Sprinkler System was shut off with our New Shut Off Valve.
We provide:
1. Sprinkler Valve Problems
2. Sprinkler Wiring Problems
3. Sprinkler Controller Problems / Sprinkler Clock Problems
4. Sprinkler Head Problems
