Sprinkler System Audit in Lafayette, IN

A system can run every morning and still miss half the lawn. An audit makes sure yours is running properly, and fixes it when it isn't.

Is your sprinkler system actually watering the lawn?

Often not evenly. Our lawn technicians see it all season: a dry strip at the corner of the house where no head reaches, a corner that stays soggy, a head spraying the sidewalk instead of the grass. The system runs, so nobody notices until the lawn shows it.

What happens during an audit?

We run the system

Each zone is run while we watch where the water actually lands.

We adjust the heads

Heads get re-aimed, raised or lowered so they spray the lawn, not the driveway or the side of the house.

We check the valves

We make sure the valves open and close properly, then make whatever adjustments the system needs to run right.

Gaps in coverage

If no head reaches a spot, it thins out and browns first when the weather turns dry.

Which packages include an audit?

Preferred includes one sprinkler system audit a year. Premium includes three, so the system gets checked and adjusted again as the season goes on. Basic doesn't include an audit.

Common questions about sprinkler audits

How is an audit different from a startup?

A startup gets the system running for the season. An audit checks how well it's running and adjusts it: heads, valves and anything else that keeps the water from landing where it should.

Why would I want three audits a year?

Heads get bumped by mowers, plants grow into spray patterns, and the lawn's needs change between spring and late summer. Checking three times a year catches those changes.

Does an audit include repairs?

Adjustments, yes. Parts and repairs, like a new head or valve, are priced separately.
