What Is a Sprinkler Valve?
Think of a Sprinkler Valve as an “Off or On” Switch. The Sprinkler Controller turns the valves on or off.
It Sends a signal through a wire which is underground to the sprinkler valve somewhere in your yard.
Once turned on, the valve lets water pass through a sprinkler pipe to a specific group of sprinkler heads called a Sprinkler Zone. The controller allows water to reach the sprinkler heads for a certain amount of time running through the sprinkler valve. Once the time is up, it shuts off the sprinkler valve and moves on to the next valve in sequence.
Think of it as walking into every room in your house one at a time. As you enter you turn on the light. As you leave you turn off the light and move to the next room. You are the controller. The light switch represents the sprinkler valve.
What causes a Sprinkler Valve to stop working?
Like anything else, a sprinkler valve can wear out. Sprinkler valves fail in closed position. It won’t run continuously if it breaks.
Sprinkler Valves get stuck while running sometimes. The water supply must be then turned off to stop the Sprinkler from running.
Sprinkler Valves can freeze and break in the winter if the sprinkler system has not been properly drained for winter’s cold.
(winterized)
Tree roots can twist or break sprinkler pipes running into sprinkler valves. Magnolia Trees are really bad about this. Oak trees can cause damage too.
Driving something heavy across your yard can crush sprinkler valves. Usually riding lawnmowers don’t cause damage but any truck or car will if you drive over a valve.

Sometimes things go wrong with sprinkler systems.
A Common Problem
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.

French Drain Installation, Surface Drain Installation, Drainage System Installation
Oklahoma Drainage Installs Surface Drains and French Drains. Sometimes it is up hill in all directions from the Problem Drainage Area. This problem can be solved by installing a Sump Pump. When the cavity fills, the water is pumped away to the point where the water exits the drain which can be a curb outlet or a pop-up emitter.
Sump Pump Service Oklahoma City
French Drains, Surface Drains, Channel Drains and Gutters can all be connected to a Sump Pump.
They can be connected exclusively or as a group. A gravity flow French Drain or Surface Drain System will not work so you must pump the water to the Exit Point. The Same holds true if you have water standing in a basement. Pumping out the water is the only way.Most Sump Pumps work automatically.
When the Sump Pump is under water a float rises up on the side of the pump and turns on the pump. The water is pumped away, the float falls back down and turns off the pump. When water is flowing constantly on to the pump, it turns itself on and off over and over. This could go on for hours or even days.

Clean Water
A “Clean” pump must pump water that is relatively clean, or it will clog up after a while. A” Dirty” Pump can handle water that is not so clean that has small pieces of Debris in it. It will also clog if the debris is too thick or large. There are several techniques that Oklahoma Drainage uses to keep a sump pump “Clog Free” and running well. One technique is to place the sump pump on top of a cement block inside the pump cavity. Debris and unwanted solids fall the bottom of the sump cavity and never goes through the sump.
The Homeowner had a Sump Pump
in their basement that was fed from a French Drain outside the Basement Wall. The French Drain was 14 feet down along the Stem wall of the house. The French Drainpipe was cheap and had collapsed. We brought in a Mini Excavator and dug up the pipe and replaced it with Durable ADS 4 inch perf/soc French Drain pipe. In the end, we were able to dig up the pipe and replace it. Next, we installed a new exit for the water by installing a curb fitting. No more flooding in the customers basement. A few weeks later our customer was able to lay carpet in the basement with no problems. Sump Pump Installation is necessary when water from a Drainage System can’t flow properly. This means it is uphill in every direction from the Drain Intake.
French Drains can be installed by themselves, or as part of a Drainage System that uses other French Drains, Surface Drains, or other Drain combinations. Typically, a French Drain is used to protect a broad area that has a lot of standing water. A French Drain might run alongside a home’s foundation, or beside a driveway, or on any Drainage Project where Sub-Surface water is the primary problem.
If water is running toward your home
under ground ( through sandy soil), A French Drain is the only Solution for draining away water flowing under ground.
