Lawn irrigation pump repair

If the sprinklers look tired, or the pump in the side yard won’t settle down, we’ll take a look. We repair the pump, tank, and manifold that feed the lawn — not the landscaping itself.

Sounds familiar?

If any of these match, you’re in the right place. If it’s something else, just say so when you call.

  • Sprinkler heads barely rise, or only the first zone works
  • The pump runs hot, hunts, or never shuts off
  • The pump will not prime after sitting over winter
  • A pressure tank or relief valve is weeping beside the pad
  • The timer calls for water and nothing starts

What a visit looks like

Booster and sprinkler pumps

Centrifugal booster pumps are the usual lawn pump: an end-suction or straight centrifugal on a pad, pulling from a meter, a tank, or a pond. We replace seals, impellers, motors, and whole pumps when the housing is done.

Prime, suction, and check valves

A pump that worked last summer and won’t catch prime in spring is often a foot valve, a small suction leak, or a check valve — not a ruined motor. That’s where we start.

Manifolds and the handoff to the valves

Sometimes the pump is fine and a master valve or a clogged intake is the real problem. We’ll sort that out so you don’t end up buying parts you don’t need.

Large lots and small acreage

Stockton-area properties and some peninsula estates run more than a backyard lawn: pasture edges, orchards, and long laterals. The pump has to match that lift and flow. We size the replacement to the system that is in the ground.

Common questions

Is this the same as repairing sprinkler heads and drip lines?

Not quite. We take care of the pump and the pressure equipment that feeds the system. Sprinkler heads, drip lines, and timer programming are landscape work. If weak zones are really a pump problem, that’s us.

The pump lost prime. Does it need replacing?

Not always. A suction leak, a tired check valve, or a clogged intake can keep a healthy pump from priming. We’ll test that before recommending a new pump.

Can an irrigation pump pull from a well?

Sometimes, yes. Irrigation might share the house well through a booster, or it might have its own pump. We’ll look at how yours is set up before ordering anything.
