All Terrain's approach to
spring sprinkler start-ups is comprehensive. We begin by inspecting all accessible system components. Valve boxes get opened and examined for winter damage, standing water, or debris that's accumulated over the off-season.
Each valve gets tested individually to verify proper operation. We watch it open, confirm it maintains appropriate flow, and check that it closes completely. Valves showing any signs of wear or hesitation receive attention before they can fail during the busy season.
Your backflow preventer receives thorough inspection and testing. This critical component protects your drinking water supply and must function correctly. We verify proper operation and check all connections.
Then we activate your system zone by zone, walking each one while it operates. We watch every sprinkler head perform, checking for proper pop-up function, correct spray pattern, and appropriate coverage.
We look for issues that commonly develop: heads that don't rise fully, spray patterns that have deteriorated from wear, coverage gaps that leave areas without water, and overspray that waters hardscapes instead of landscape. We identify clogged nozzles, broken components, and heads that have shifted or settled.
System pressure gets tested and monitored throughout the property. Greeley's water pressure can vary by neighborhood and time of day, and we need to ensure your system handles those variations properly.
