FAQs

Straight answers to the questions we hear most in Socorro and the East El Paso area.

How do you know if there’s an underground leak?

Pooling, constantly wet areas, or zones that run weak can indicate a leak. A pressure check helps narrow it down.

Can you rebuild only part of the system?

Yes. Many systems benefit from targeted rebuilds—like replacing a problematic zone or converting beds to drip.

Is a new controller enough to fix issues?

Sometimes, but not if the hardware is leaking or coverage is wrong. The controller can’t fix physical problems.

How long should irrigation systems last?

It varies by materials, soil conditions, and upkeep. Frequent breaks and repeated leaks are a sign it’s time to rethink parts of the system.

Do you help with watering schedules?

Yes. We can recommend a practical schedule based on plant type, sun exposure, and season.
