Valve Diagnostics & Repairs

Ensuring a lush, vibrant landscape in Orlando’s climate requires a fully functional irrigation system. At Hessenauer Sprinkler Repair & Irrigation, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing irrigation valve issues, ensuring your system operates efficiently year-round.

Understanding Irrigation Valves

Irrigation valves are pivotal components in both residential and commercial sprinkler systems. They control the flow of water to different zones of your landscape, ensuring each area receives the appropriate amount of hydration. Most systems in Orlando utilize electrically operated valves, managed by an irrigation controller that communicates through a network of wires connected to the valve solenoid.

Older systems might employ cyclermatic valves, a technology that, while once standard, can be less reliable over time. Upgrading these to modern electrically operated valves can enhance system performance and reliability.

Diagnosis

Utilizing advanced tools like the Tempo 521A valve and wire locator, we accurately identify the location and condition of malfunctioning valves, even those buried underground.

Assessment

We evaluate whether the valve requires cleaning, repair, or complete replacement, considering factors like age, wear, and compatibility with your existing system.

Repair

Using high-quality components from reputable brands such as Rainbird, Hunter, Irritrol, and Berkeley, we perform the necessary repairs or replacements to restore optimal function.

Test

Post-repair, we conduct thorough testing to ensure each valve operates correctly, and the entire system functions seamlessly.

Frequently Asked Questions for Valve Repair in Central Florida

An irrigation valve controls the flow of water to different zones in your sprinkler system. Each valve opens and closes based on signals from your irrigation controller, allowing precise watering across your lawn or landscape. If a valve malfunctions, it can cause specific zones to stop working or continue running nonstop.

Common signs include zones that won’t turn on or off, inconsistent water pressure, or strange sounds coming from the valve box. If your controller is working but certain zones aren’t responding, the issue is often with the valve or its solenoid. A professional inspection can confirm whether a repair or full replacement is needed.

While minor issues like cleaning debris from a valve may be manageable for a DIY enthusiast, most valve problems involve electrical components or underground piping. Professional irrigation repair ensures accurate diagnostics, prevents further damage, and saves time—especially with complex systems.
