Sprinkler Repair in Devonshire

Devonshire's classic homes are constantly being updated, with additions, new pools, new driveways and new landscaping. Each project is a chance for the sprinkler system to get cut, covered or forgotten.

After a remodel

The most common Devonshire call we get starts with "we just finished a remodel and now…". An addition or new patio sits on top of a valve. A new driveway cut a line. The landscape crew buried heads under new beds. A zone that used to water a lawn now waters a patio. We find what was damaged, reroute around the new construction, and update coverage for the new layout.

Lost valves and old wiring

When valves end up under patios or beds, they still work for a while, until one fails and nobody can reach it. We locate buried valves, and where needed move them to an accessible box. Old valve wire splices that have sat in wet boxes for years often corrode. Replacing them with waterproof connectors stops intermittent zone failures.

Older supply lines

Some older homes in this area still have older metal water supply piping feeding the irrigation system. If you see rust-colored water at the heads or a slow drop in pressure over the years, the supply line may be corroded. We will check it and tell you your options.

Upgrading the controller

Many Devonshire systems still run on controllers from the 1990s. A new controller, especially a smart one with a rain sensor, often pays for itself in water savings and makes it easy to follow Dallas watering days.

Dallas watering rules

Devonshire is inside the City of Dallas, so Dallas rules apply. Sprinklers can run no more than twice a week: Sunday and Thursday for even-numbered addresses, Wednesday and Saturday for odd. Nothing on Monday, Tuesday or Friday. And no sprinkler watering from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on any day of the year; Dallas made that daytime ban year-round in 2026. Hand watering, soaker hoses and drip are allowed any day and any time. Read the City of Dallas ordinance summary.

Questions people ask us

Can you rework my system after a pool install?

Yes. We reroute lines around the pool and decking and reset coverage for the new yard.

A valve is under my new patio. Now what?

We can usually locate it and either access it or install a new valve in a reachable box nearby, then connect the old zone to it.

Is a smart controller worth it?

For most homes, yes, as long as it is set up correctly zone by zone.
