Sprinkler & Irrigation Repair in Clovis, CA

Brown patches creeping across the lawn, a geyser shooting out of a cracked head, or a drip line that hasn’t pushed water in weeks — irrigation problems waste water, run up your bill, and kill plants fast in the Central Valley heat. Longhorn Landscapes handles sprinkler and drip irrigation repair across Clovis, Fresno, and the surrounding San Joaquin Valley. We diagnose the actual cause, fix it correctly the first time, and tune the system so your yard gets the right water in the right places — without fighting state water restrictions.

What sprinkler and irrigation repair involves

Most irrigation calls in Clovis come down to a handful of issues: broken or sunken spray heads, clogged or chewed drip emitters, leaking valves, cracked PVC laterals, a controller that lost its program after a power blip, or low pressure from a failing backflow or master valve. A proper repair starts with running each zone and watching what the system actually does — not guessing.

From there, the work might include swapping out heads (Rain Bird, Hunter, Toro), replacing solenoids and diaphragms in valves, splicing PVC or poly tubing, rewiring a station back to the controller, flushing and re-emitting a drip zone, or reprogramming the timer for current weather and the state’s watering-day rules. On older Clovis systems we often find a mix of overhead spray and bubblers feeding shrubs that should be on drip — we’ll flag that and give you options. Tools include a valve locator, wire tracker, pressure gauge, manifold parts, and a stocked truck so most repairs finish in one visit.

Our sprinkler repair process

1. Phone intake. We ask what you’re seeing — wet spots, dry spots, zones that won’t run, high bill — and book a visit.
2. On-site walk-through. We run every zone with you, mark problems, and check the controller, valves, and backflow.
3. Diagnosis and quote. You get a clear explanation of what’s failing and a written price before we start. No surprise add-ons.
4. Repair. Heads, valves, wiring, PVC, drip lines, emitters, controllers — most jobs finish the same day.
5. System tune. We adjust spray patterns, check coverage, and set run times for the season and your soil.
6. Walk-through and handoff. We run the system with you one more time and show you how to use the controller.

What sprinkler and irrigation repair typically costs

Repair pricing depends on what’s actually wrong. Swapping a few broken spray heads is a small job. Tracking down a buried valve with a bad solenoid, digging it up, and rebuilding it costs more. A full controller replacement with a smart Wi-Fi timer is its own line item, and converting a spray zone to drip is priced by zone size and plant count.

Estimates range based on the number of zones affected, accessibility (lawn vs. under a paver patio), brand and age of components, depth of any line breaks, and whether the controller and backflow are still serviceable. What’s included: diagnosis, parts, labor, and a system check after the fix. What’s not included: major redesigns, new zone additions, or sod repair beyond what’s needed to access the line. We’ll give you a written quote before any work starts.

FAQ

How quickly can you come out for a broken sprinkler?
For active leaks or geysers in Clovis and Fresno, we prioritize prompt scheduling. Call first thing in the morning for the best chance at an early appointment.

My water bill jumped but I don’t see any leaks — can you find it?
Yes. Hidden leaks usually show up as a soft, always-wet spot, an unusually green patch, or a valve that weeps after the zone shuts off. We use pressure tests and a valve locator to pinpoint underground issues without tearing up the whole yard.

Can you repair drip irrigation, not just sprinklers?
Absolutely. Drip lines, emitters, filters, and pressure regulators are a big part of what we fix — especially on Clovis homes with shrub beds and drought-tolerant plantings.

Do you install smart controllers?
Yes. We install and program Rachio, Rain Bird, and Hunter Wi-Fi controllers that adjust to local weather and help you stay within Clovis and Fresno watering-day rules.

Will my lawn recover after a long sprinkler outage?
In most cases, tall fescue and Bermuda lawns in the Valley bounce back once water is restored and timing is corrected. If a section is fully dead, we can patch with sod or talk through artificial turf and drought-tolerant alternatives.

Are you licensed and insured?
When hiring any irrigation contractor, it’s important to work with a licensed and insured professional to protect your property and ensure the work meets local code requirements.
