Trustworthy Sprinkler Repair Services
Sprinklers are generally durable, but the wear and tear of daily life can leave them vulnerable to problems. Sometimes something like mowing the lawn can accidentally damage a sprinkler head. Other times, cold weather might cause water in an irrigation fixture to freeze, expand, and break the fixture. Whatever the problem that has afflicted your irrigation system might be, Automatic Rain offers fast, effective, and high-quality repairs to get the issue working again.
We repair all parts of your irrigation system, including:
- Water lines
- Backflow prevention
- Valves
- Valve connections
- Sprinkler heads
- Sprinkler controllers
- Risers
Seasonal Sprinkler Care Tips
Maintaining your sprinkler system throughout the year ensures optimal performance and prevents costly repairs. Here are key maintenance tips for each season:
Spring: System Start-Up and Inspection
- Check for Damage: After winter, inspect all sprinkler heads, pipes, and valves for cracks or damage caused by freezing temperatures.
- Test the System: Run a full cycle to ensure water is reaching all areas of your lawn and garden.
- Clean Sprinkler Heads: Remove any dirt or debris that may have clogged the nozzles during the off-season.
- Adjust Timers: Set your watering schedule for the upcoming warmer months, making sure to avoid overwatering.
Summer: Monitor and Adjust
- Check for Leaks: High water pressure or daily use can lead to leaks. Monitor your system for pooling water or low pressure.
- Adjust for Heat: Increase watering time during hotter months, but avoid watering during the peak heat of the day to minimize evaporation.
- Inspect Sprinkler Coverage: Ensure that all areas of your landscape are being watered evenly and adjust the direction of sprinkler heads if needed.
Fall: System Adjustment and Prep
- Reduce Watering: As temperatures cool, decrease the frequency and duration of watering since plants require less water in the fall.
- Backflow Testing: Have a certified technician test your backflow prevention device to ensure it’s working properly before winter.
- Prepare for Winterization: Schedule winterization services to protect your system from freezing temperatures and prevent burst pipes.
Winter: System Shutdown
- Drain and Blow Out: Fully drain or blow out all water from the system to prevent ice from forming inside the pipes, which can cause severe damage.
- Test the System: If possible, remove and store smaller components like hoses, timers, or above-ground sprinklers indoors.
- Clean Sprinkler Heads: Remove any dirt or debris that may have clogged the nozzles during the off-season.
- Check for Freeze Protection: If you live in an area with harsh winters, ensure your system has proper insulation or freeze protection in place.

Improve Performance with Sprinkler Maintenance
Maintaining your irrigation system is key if you want to prevent broken components. With regular maintenance, inspections, and upkeep, you can keep your sprinklers and drip systems working exactly as they should.
Our team offers several options when it comes to maintenance, including:
- System winterization
- Backflow testing and certification
- Sprinkler system inspections
- Checking for signs of leaks or water loss
- Cleaning clogged heads
One of the other major sprinkler maintenance services we offer is sprinkler realignment. If your yard has changed in size or shape over the years, there’s a strong chance your sprinklers no longer water the most efficiently. You could be spraying your patio or walkways with hundreds or even thousands of gallons of water per year water that is essentially wasted that costs you real, hard-earned money.
Our crew can work through your system and carefully adjust and realign every sprinkler head to ensure that it waters only where it needs to and nothing more. From adjusting angles to water pressure and spray distance, we’ll make certain it’s your lawn and garden that are getting the water and not these wasteful areas.
As with all of our sprinkler services, we stand by the work we do for your peace of mind and total confidence in us. We offer fantastic warranties on our work and provide you with outstanding service from start to finish.

What Does Spring Activation Include?
During this service, our trained technicians turn your system on and thoroughly check every major component of your irrigation system. Each sprinkler head is checked for proper performance (no leaks, proper height, etc…). Any adjustments are made at this time to ensure your lawn and landscape is efficiently and effectively watered. If required, we replace the battery in your controller and set an efficient watering program.
What Is an Annual Backflow Test?
During this service, one of our certified backflow testers tests your device to ensure it meets the performance requirements as mandated by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and local municipal ordinances and codes. While this test is normally conducted with the Spring Activation, we can test devices anytime throughout the year.
What Is Winterization?
To protect your investment during our harsh winter months, it is absolutely critical that your system be winterized. During this service, our trained technicians turn off the water supply to your irrigation system and purge your system removing all water left in your pipes. This helps protect your heads, valves and piping from serious damage due to freezing. Like all other services, we stand behind our work. As long as your water (to the irrigation system) remains off until Spring Activation, we guarantee your system from any freeze damage provided Automatice Rain, Inc. does the Spring start-up also.
