Eric was great, he was friendly and on time. My job ended up being bigger than I originally expected and he showed me the issues and explained what was necessary without BSing me. Would definitely use again in the future.

    Of the three sprinkler repair companies I contacted, Hessenauer was the only one to respond. They provided a date and time, and they arrived on schedule. They did a thorough inspection and fixed multiple problems for a reasonable cost. They are now my "go to" sprinkler repair company.

    Eric has been out here twice to correct everyone else's mistakes and I am so grateful.  I finally have my irrigation system working as it should.  This is a quality company with excellent workers who know their stuff. I'm glad I found them.

    Eric was out today to repair 3 valves damaged by a lightning hit.  Was on-time, communicated his arrival, and clearly explained the problem.   Very professional.  Emma also was a pleasure to deal with when making the appointment.  Will definitely use them again.

    Could not have worked with a better team. They came out, heard what I wanted, then validated that it was needed, and gave me a quote. They did a lot of repairs on my old system and it is up and running again. I could not have been more impressed with their timeliness, professionalism, and attention to my specific needs as an old home. I will use them again when needed.

    I was impressed with Hessenauer Irrigation.  Jay did a great job replacing an old irrigation clock.  He didn't stop there, he checked each of my 4 zones and replaced a few heads that needed to be replaced.  I'm saving their contact info and will definitely use them next time I need any work done!

Thank you for visiting the Hessenauer Sprinkler Repair and Irrigation blog and website. Summer is right around the corner and maintaining your irrigation sprinkler system is an effective way to avoid over-irrigation, reduce wasted water and pollution from run-off and improve plant health. Today we would like to provide our online readers with a short start-up summer irrigation checklist.

Landscape irrigation can use more than half of the water provided to the household by utilities. A poorly maintained irrigation system means that much of this water never reaches its intended source due to runoff, evaporation and deep watering below the root zone.

Maintenance is the key to preventing costly emergency repairs in the future. At a minimum, a check of the irrigation system should be performed twice seasonally. Once at the beginning of the season when the system is first turned on and again halfway through the season. Ideally, the system should be checked on a monthly basis.

Basics of irrigation system maintenance include:

Update the date and time
Replace backup batteries
Inspect the controller function
Optimize schedules to reflect the current season
Check system damage by turning on independent zones
Test wire connections including rain, wind and soil moisture sensors
